Wow Rodney! You make me wanna buy a second copy!

I love the camera work. lighting is fun, but I enjoy choosing camera shots and angles.

Thanks Jake. I can hear that file but only see a blackscreen. ????

Here I used bones not good result so far bigwheel_roll.mov here I used bones and pose slider little better bigwheel_roll2.mov

I envy your skills. truly wonderful work!

In my new video I want my elf to ride a bigwheel. My question is, How do I rig the wheels to turn properly? Pose slider? Bone? Thanks for any responses. Gene bigwheel.mov

Ok I am losing my mind! I fixed santa but when trying to rig him I could not find the 2008 rig instruction although I have all the hxt's. So I went with the TSM rig. And it just seems no matter what I do it goes haywire! At the moment I am extremely frustrated and ready to scrap this whole video! I know I am horrible at rigging but I am sitting here trying my hardest to get it done and learn. Is there a rigging for dummies book? I really need to get good at rigging anyway. santamyronnobonestsm.mdl What am I doing wrong? Not looking for someone else to do it, only to learn myself.

well I went this far might as well finish it. It is my first competition.

4th place But still need those votes 13 more days till contest ends.

How I made him was I took Santa Lion off the extras CD and put Myrons head on him. A quick and easy Santa

here he is in choreography and here he is when rendered

Added some of Gerry's props and an AM box The set is starting to take shape.

pose slider

I made a few facial sliders and here is the test. No he is not totally evil, but he will go postal in the song so I had to give him the mad look. I realise my snow is more like raining snowballs LOL, I will fix that. Just wanted to test a few things. toyshopsnow2.mov
