the button you want is to the left of the rotate manipulator tool, a box with for arrows coming from its 'faces'not it's sides (thats move) drag the top (blue?) handle for scale in the Y axis Ok? - Chris

Tanks Jim and Zaryin!

Right, Here is Orfeg the budgie so far, given him wings and feet, attached the beak and textured him thanks to Jtalbotski's vid tute, hes pretty much done now, needs some smoothing and rigging but other than that I'm a happy birdie! Thanks for kickstarting me, all I'd ever done before was a sack tutorial but this taught me alot about splines.
Thanks again - Chris

Thanx Jim, these will help very much I'm sure

omg! just yook a wee trip to the alpha discussions and saw some amazing stuff! Ive gotta get this finished so I can feather him up! Well done Hash!
-
Well I agree Darklimit, I want the beak to be part of the modal, but for now its seperate. Il weld it later if I can!Can anyone see any obvoius mistakes, I tried 5-point patches and ther are a couple of hooks where I joined the wings, And what are these square patches Phil?
-
erm well it was a kind of draw rond the rotoscope front and back, then add a couple of cross sections and go from there, probably why it's so bumpy, Il try and connect the beak and polish whats here, thanks all for your input
-
Thanks phil I think that will be best, Im attempting a 'rubberised' look to the beak,
take a look, - so far I have a few holes to fill up and its looking a bit wobbly, there are far too many splines in this - I think ive jumped a little too far into the deep end but sometimes that seems to work! Oh well any pointers well apriciated
Tar! - Chris Nix

Doug - True but im finding it easier said than done! I will work on it and come back later with something that I can show! And I agree with you about planning in advance. Mike thanks for the advice, I might go for a more rubber beak to get speech in there and as for feathers, is the new hair system capable of doing something like this?- individually textured? I would love to have feathers that i could controll and animate etc
Thankyou both for your response, il get back soon with something more 'solid'

Hello fellow hashers, I'm working on a feathered charactor and cant decide how to best modal him for animation, Ive attempted it a couple of times but im not sure how best to do it. Like for example should I make the beak as two seperate parts?
Im just sat here looking at a blank screen! ive got that mental block and I just cant shift it! check the attached picture for the design of Orfeg the budgie.
Cheers - Chris Nix

Hey, out of interest, what exactly is a dongle? I reside in the UK and havent really heard of it before? Is it just a context sensitive word that can mean pretty much anything ?

Hi all, I'd just like to introduce myself and to express my joy at recieving my first copy of AM earlier today, I have been watching the 2003 training cd's and tackling the program head on with the help of David Rogers 2002 guide. So far so good, but the fact that im required to put in the CD every time I want to load it is irking me a little! Is there some extremely simple way of getting around this or is it something il have to live with? :blink: Kind regards - Chris Nix

registry can be found by going to start - run - then type ' regedit ' ok!
but be carefull, it can get confusing in there!

Thanks for the advice, I have actually recently bought that book - 98 second edition(for $2.99) and 2002 guide (for $17?) from ebay! should get those within a week and I will check out those sites you mention too.
cheers!
P.S. - Whats this secret project then?
-
HI! I have recently decided to take the plunge and invest in some animation software, and think that AM might be be 'right up my alley'!, I want to learn as much as possible about how to use it and fast! So I thought I'd ask for your oppinions of what learning stuff to get? I have messed around with macromedia's extreme 3d for a while which is pretty limited so assume im a total begginner to animation as a whole!
And does anyone know when to expect Creation engine to stock the 2004 CD's as I am a student on a budget ($100 saving is good for a few more beers!)
Cheers in advance!
Kind regards - Chris Nix
