[Character WIP]

So is this the good guy or the bad guy?

Jerry

p.s. What an inspirational piece of work!

[Clothes]

Hash question:

 

Should a model's clothes be made in a ununibody fashion, or should a model be "dressed" with clothes made piecemeal? Will Hash's collision detection prevent showthrough or is the unibody approch preffered. All Hashers answeres appreciated.

Dear list ,

, can anyone tell me how to group pose sliders under new tabs in the poses window.

If this is unclear I can try it again.

Thanks,

Jerry Seider

[V10 hair]

Can anyone tell me what sort of map will drive the "thickness' property of v 10's hair. Will a red and blue channel do the trick or will a simple grey scale map do it?

Sincerly,

Jerry Seider

p.s. And why can't I get this property to work.

[Paste Mirrored]

Has anyone tried to paste mirrored with a cog bones set up?

Ragtag,

Just leave the ear stuck in. It looks great! Better than to fix anything, animate him. This is really one terriffically designed charachter.

TSM for version 10 is awsome. For example you can shift click, selcting all the fingers one by one, then by moving the rotation handle for the last bone selected, rotalte all the fingers simultaneously into a fist. Ta-Da! great innovatio by Raf.

Even if you assign bones by hand, you don't have to re-name them in the PWS. A big time saver itself.

You can add your own fan bones. As lon as they are named left- rignt- etc. And thier constraints are named "constraints" in the pose sliders window. you will get a supple bone sysytem.

[Check it out.]

Please check out my final Xi model in the wips section of the Hash forum. Let me know what you think. I'd like to hear about rigging preferences. Live long and prosper.

[Briar]

Thank You Stephan for your reply,

Specificaly, I would like to see soomed versions of Briar's mouth and tear ducts. These areas are sort of mysterious to me.

Thanks Again,

Jerry Seider

[Xi]

Barring further comments this is a final version. What do you think?

Beautiflly done. The atmosphere on the planet is perfect.

dispite his mild demeanor he looks as if he could kill. I like that.

[New head]

I think this model could make a great short.

Jerry Seider

p.s. Less grimmace in the rest position. Show us some expressions.

[Fly Dude]

Fly dude is here. he is a low patch, fast render model. All he needs are some bones then I can animate him (ah-hem) on the fly. All comments are welcome.

hi Joe,

Download the Eggprops tutorials on fan bones and advanced rigging. I think they are $20 each, but worth thier wiegt in gold. They are listed under "software" on the eggprops site, not under "tutorials". They show all the hidden bone riggs and you then animate with wrist and ankle Nulls.

[Now you Xi me, now you don't]

This is the latest version of Xi. Her evolution is a culmination of comments and cp time. I can hardly wait to bone her in version 10.

if you are not going to integrate his ear into a unibody construction, then cover it's leading edge with a little more hair. i like the bloom and film grain.
