MMD in Blender: Walk Cycle Animation Practice

I finally have something 3D that is worthy enough to show here lol. This is my first character animation I've tried doing in Blender. I didn't turn the physics on because for some reason they stopped working half way through and I'm not sure why, so his hair doesn't move. It's not perfect but I think it's pretty good for my first try. This was going to be longer then 10 seconds and would have switched to front view, but I didn't feel like waiting another 13 hours for it to render. It took it long enough just to render 10 seconds of it lol. I think I'll try a running cycle animation next

This is the gif version, if you want to see the video here is the link to my youtube channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdrScK…

(Edit 3/13/19)
I figured out why the physics stopped working half way through. The rigged body cache in the scene section of the properties panel stopped at frame 250. I didn't change it to 500 which is how long the animation was going to be. I didn't know about it at the time lol XD


These are the tutorials I used:
This one for the walk cycle www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTo4ad…
This one for how to use the NLA editor. It's towards the end of the video www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuUWxU…
