First of all, many, many thanks to Martin for his Track_axis.py script!!

Here is a script to have an insect walk, following the movements of a proxy (a bit like Walk-O-Matic):
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ml.wibaux/insect-walk-0.4.py

Main functionalities of the script
- Generates the body and leg tip empties, and writes the corresponding IPOs (generates both position and rotation of the leg tip empties, allowing for best result: see constraints in the example below and in the tutorial).

- Allows for different proxies (animate them in the same blend, get animated insect crowds).

- Allows for 6 and 8 legged insect, with body description.

- GUI.

- Does not work in 2.28 or 2.28a: I can't fix the crash caused by object.link(ipo) icon_frown.gif

Here is an example blend, with small HowTo: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ml.wibaux/ant-0.3.blend.
An example MPG1 http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ml.wibaux/ant-walk.mpg
<EDIT>
And a tutorial http://perso.wanadoo.fr/ml.wibaux/index.html
</EDIT>
Documentation a bit later.
