Hello Nextdesign, I'm really sorry for replying late, the reply mail was sent to my spam folder. I appreciate your response.Sorry? I don't think I understand the question. Animation is usually done via a pose-to-pose method.

Thank you for the link. I was talking about for example, if you want to make a character walk. Is it better to make a walk cycle and later use the master control to convert it to a progressive forward movement OR is it better to just make the character walk progressively as you pose without needing a master controller for making the character move forward?

Thanx so much, I appreciate.There is really no "correct" way to do it. Like many things in Maya, if it works, do it. You must be aware however that some of the ways will take more time than others. That being said I would say it's best to animate a cycle, then animate the master control as it's less work.
