Questions in two areas:
1. Splinage: What would be the optimum number of splines for joints? (Wrist, elbow, shoulder, etc) Do you need a spline for bicep flex?
2. In the instructions it says I need the "Mirror Bones" plugin, symmetrical model (CFA). In the unzipped folder, I have the Mirrorbone, MirrorConstraint, and the RMWeight .hxt files. Ho do I know its the Symmetrical (CFA) version?

LOL, the spelling error is mine, but not mine alone. Before posting I did a search and got THIS.
My friend did mention something about a Glascow Kiss?
Don't know about Tudor or Fordor, but my daddy said I was conceived in a hatchback.
-
And it would be MacKnuckles, McKnuckles would be his good for nothing Irish cousin!
I have an associate at the music store where I teach, whose name is Armstrong. He assures me steadfastly that the clan MacKnuckles hails from Glascow.

Any thread of mine is dedicated to bad puns!
Thanks for the heads up , fae alba, wouldn't want to offend any Scotsman.
I have kilt too many brain cells in my years of research of single malts fed by my desire to one day play St Andrews.
-
LOL. Thanks Paul, my characters name is Knuckles McGurke so he's probably related to McKnuckles. You never know about those Scottsman. They'd probably settle it over a dram of single malt and head to the links.
I'm gearing up for my first short. Should be fun -
All of a sudden I was having problems rendering TGA decals, using 15.e. I tried everything but kept getting artifacts. I finally installed 15.0J+ and now things are rendering right again.
I put jeans and a t-shirt on Knuckles and deleted the underlying body mesh. I think I'm gonna leave him bare-foot and rig his toes while I'm learning to rig. So over the next couple of days I'll be studying up on the 2008 rig.
-
So when you burn the file to DVD you include a code of some sort that says to the TV: Hey, Dummy, widen these pixels out to use your whole screen? or something like that.
-
Oh, what the heck, I'll get the digital version too. In the immortal words of some obscure tennis shoe company: "Just Do It!"
-
Just how much demand are you trying to create, Robert? I'll take one each of the coffee table version and the Spiral bound.

LOL, Thanks, Nancy,
The title of the thread (which is the title of the short) has probably mislead more than just yourself.
The curious world of the Transvestite will not be explored in this vid. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Knuckles is a thoroughly straight young man, and not a cross dresser as implied. Although he is a bit of a nebbish.
Storyline is him on a web cam showing pictures of his new girlfriend to his old girlfriend.
That's about all I can say without giving too much away.
I project it to be about a minute long and If I can match the image I see in my mind it should be hilarious.
All those Art Nouveau images paid off big time in modeling training. I'm quite pleased with Knuckles as a first character from concept to shaded render.
So, I'm sorry to disappoint you on the subject of his wardrobe. He's not getting my camisoles.
I guess I'll give him a pair of jeans and a t shirt before I rig him.
-
got the feet done and attached! My very first model is complete. Cept for that rigging thing!. I want to put in Mark's 2008 rig. It will obviously be a learning process.
Mark, did you ever make an installer for your face rig? That was very, very cool, and I'd like to put it in Knuckles if at all possible.
I plan on using this character in various things so I'll be studying Caroline's thread when she clothed Gala, I believe.
Didn't she make that a plugin?
Here's the feet I modeled and Knuckles in his Speedo's until I figure what clothes to put him in.
-
Very Nice animating, Hutch, when you get the cloth worked out it should be very, very nice. Hair looked good.
-
Glad you got it. I could and would have compressed the files, if needed, but audio always sounds better to me uncompressed. Kind of like a resolution thing with imagery.
If you need them compressed give me a holler.
EDIT: OKay! Fine! If your' gonna harp on about it like that, Here! Here's an MP3!
Let me know if I can help in any way.
-
It's taken me all weekend to accomplish what you "Big Dogs" do on your coffee break, but I'm having a blast.
Knuckles is coming along.
I didn't really model his "Package", but I thought the "Censor Bar" had a certain amount of humor
-
LOL I'm A PC. I have a fairly good conversion software, a just need to know what to set it for.

Darkwing,
The JPG a couple of posts up has the settings for the file as it is now. A couple of Churches have expressed interest in showing the video on their projection screens in their sanctuaries. My friend has an old DVD player and a letter box big screen (I think LCD) TV. I'd like to convert it once, to a format that would cover all of those parameters. I've had an overload of information on the subject, pixel shape, aspect ratio, resolution, etc. My head is spinning so much I'm surprised I can type this,
, thanks for any help you can offer. (simple as possible, if it can be) -
Nancy, I'm sending you the .wav file via email. The forum doesn't seem to happy with the wav or the zip.
EDIT: Well I guess it did take the Zip after all. Email me if you have any trouble with it
EDIT Edit: I guess it took both of them. wierd. Guess I gotta learn more patience, I just can't wait!

I'm not sure that's been decided upon by the powers that be, David, but a logical place to me would seem to be shortly after 2_09_05, when Krewel ponders the bushel and a half of precious Gems Lord Googly Goo has promised him. (Seems to be a gooey film?)
-
That is just So, So, So, So Cool!

I made a post in another thread that consisted of this:
I have a friend who wants to see the video, but isn't on the internet (Oh, the horror!) but he's not that stone-age, he has a big screen TV. I want to burn a DVD to take to him, but I need to convert the file. I have an AVS Video conversion program, but I'm not up on specs enough to know what to convert it to.
Here is a shot of the settings as they are. What do I change them to for:
A: A Big screen TV
B: A Big Screen HD TV If there is a difference.
Could one of you amazing A:M Forum Technophiles help me get a clue?
Thanks
Thought I'd try a fresh thread.
-
Now you have made my day, Nancy. I was under the impression that you were going to give it a pass. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!
David, Greed is a fun song. Hint... hint.....
Holmes, How about another recording session?
I see you down there....
-
Thank You, David. You've made my day. I was hoping, big-time, that this song would make it into Scarecrow!
I'm gonna go celebrate now with a ....a sprig of this........and a pinch of that........
