Hey Rodney, Thanks for all the time you put into helping people that are still learning. It is much appreciated. Ill check out that tutorial tomorrow because its gettin late and i have school tomorrow. It sux but hey its life. lol Thanks Geoff

Hey, This time i cant get the wheel to lathe properly. It says to move pivot. I dont get it lol. This modeling is a lot of learning lol Hopefully ill be able to be proficent with it soon. Thanks Geoff

Alright cool thanks man

Hey, I think i got it. I guess its gonna look alright for a first try but im definetly going to go back and do this tutorial again. You'll see when i post it that i need a LOT of practice. lol Thanks for the help Geoff

Hey, ummmmm......yeah i was more looking for which ones to move but that works i guess. My problem is that when i move the CPs it completely distorts the plane. Ill try ur idea but could u go inot a little more detail on rotating the slines. I dont get what ur meaning by that do u literally hit the roatate button and rotate it? Thanks Geoff

Hey, Im working on the plane tutorial and its come to the part where you are supposed to form the cockpit. I cant figure out which CPs to mmove in order to make the cockpit with out screwing up the model. Heres a pic of the splines and what not. Thanks Thanks Geoff heres a pic with the wing hidden Plane_cockpit_pic.bmp

Hey, Yeah the animation is still really sloppy i need to find the optimum rotating speed. What happened is i was trying to not go past 1:00 (I think thats how the frame language works lol) and so i made him go to fast at the end. Im gonna try to start on a new improved one soon. Thanks Geoff

HOLY CRAP!! DONT GIVE UP!!! I just now looked at this thread and wish i would have seen it sooner!!! The drum animation is amazing there is only one thing ive seen (and ive watched most of the vids) is the one on youtube thats 44 seconds i saw the drumsticks go through eachother. (im not great at this stuf so dont get mad at me for pointing it out) You have amazing skill i wish i could do what you do. DONT GIVE UP!!! As i read through the thread i was and still am looking forward to a finished project. KEEP IT UP!!! Geoff

Hey, Thanks guys ill try to get started on a new version tonight or tomorrow. The legs do hit the ground at diferent times its just to fast to see sadly lol. Anyways Rodney heres a side view. Question does anyone know how to imprt songs from either itunes or windows mediaplayer into the program for use in a choreography. I wanna do a usic video but i can only figure out how to import stuf i recorded using the free recording thing that comes with windows. I had to hold a speaker up to my comp mic and record the piece i was gonna use and it will only let you do 1minute. If anyone knows how please let me know. Thanks Geoff knightbackfliprender1.3.mov

Hey, Nice models man when do we get to see them fight? I cant wait to see Godzilla destroy Tokyo lol Keep up the good work man! Geoff

Hey guys, I finally did somthing with the backflip. I added music to (my first time doin that) I had to hold speakers up to my comp mic and record it through record pad to get that part of the song. I couldnt figure out how to load music files in from itunes or windows media player, how do you do it. Its a pain in the butt to do it the way i did it lol but the sound quality isnt too horrible. Anyways tips, suggestions, critisism always very much appreciated. Thanks a lot guys Geoff knightbackfliprender1.2.mov

Hey, First off that is awesome lol. Nice work you should get another character and make the gorrilla gun a bunch of them down lol. The pistol he has does it happen to be a Glock? Awesome job man. Geoff

Hey, That is amazing. Awesome work. Geoff

hey guys, i was showing the animation to my mom and cousin and i realized somthing. I left his arms up in the first frame. Im gonna start the third version tomorrow and hope fully get it even better. thanks for all the help phatso thanks geoff

Hey guys, Here is an update. He still doesnt flip with good realistic looking timing(and yes he is supposed to go backwards) he goes to fast at the end but i think it is a good improvement. How do you make the "action" go for more frames in the choreography? I wanna stretch out the flip to make it go slower so you guys can really see what hes doing. Thanks for all the help so far. Thanks Geoff knight_back_flip1.1.mov

Hey, I was working on somthing but when i went to save it i came up with an error. Thanks for the explanation. The screenshot isnt loading so ill post it later. thanks again Geoff

Nice job man. My cousin and i found it funny.

Hey guys, thanks and i did it as a choreography but camillo when you mentioned action i thought hey ill make it reusable lol. Phatso thanks for your feedback i just quickly read through and didnt understand some of it such as when yuo said the spline should take shape what spline? lol im not that experienced with the program. I am gonna start redoing it tonight and ill probably incorporate it into a fight scene im making next. Im not good at modeling so i thought id work on animating skills lol. thanks again guys ill try post an updated video tonight and i am starting from scratch because i couldnt get it to save there was some error thanks Geoff

Hey guys, I made this as a quick very basic demo to show my friend(not that im good at adding effects etc lol) The timing is WAY OFF and im going back and redoing it to get that better. I need to know if u guys think it will look convincing when i get the timing better. Ill take any feedback thanks Geoff knight_back_flip.mov

lol ive played at night but i live out in the desert lol those are the most intense games especially when the moon isnt out and everything is pitch black lol keep up the work and have fun paintballing

nice i have a 98 custom with a remote line extendable stock etc lol all the fun stuf looking good though

ok....heh, im moving this to the tao forum so i dont make u guys angry.....srry if i did but plz check it out there and continue to give feedback thanks. Geoff

hey guys, thanks for the help i started the engines last night and got one done so i will copy them and get them in place then render and post. Thanks all the feedback and help. Geoff

srry i havent been posying Xcountry has been taking up a lot of time and i didnt mean the inside of the cockpit(im not even going to try thast yet) im talking about the outside profile of it. Thanks for the fedback il try to get an up date posted with the beginning of the wing. thanks for the feedback Geoff

Ok here is a diferent view. Im at a loss on how to do the cockpit. I cant figure it out. Tips please and thanks for the feedback Geoff
