Are the wheels and the steering already rolling? Just try to solve some problems there myself.. See car-rigg thread...... The cars-design is great! ;>) Jake

...and that`s the car in question..... simplecar0.tga

The tooncart latly brought me to try to rigg a simple car myself. Following the lines of the bone-tut of Rodger Reynolds , I managed to set up the steering. But when I made a second action for the wheels rolling, in the action only one wheel is rolling, and even that seems to be stopping brievly at the starting-point.. in the chor even none. What have I done wrong? I constrained the other wheels with a roll like constraint. The car is constrained to a path. How can I slow it down a bit to watch its movement better? I enclose the project for anybody interested to help to have a look. Thank you ;>) Jake Something like a rigging -machine for cars would be great...... car_rigg170405.prj

Oh forget it...I just found out. I overlooked the minus. This is great. Thank you.

>This is kind of a fake; I'm only doing half and will CFA when it's closer to being done. I just put two instances of the model in the chor and scaled one of them -100 on the x axis. Can you tell me what I am possibly doing wrong? Nice model, hope you are going to animate him soon. Are you using the setupmachine? ;>) Jake

No comments on the closeups anybody?

and careful! some nudist picture!

the tea-tablet

I tried to render out a wireframe or shaded wireframe and got a : "failed init bound render info". Any help in this issue anybody? Anyway here are some more pictures and a closeup. Thank you for the friendly comments. ( I just copied one half and flipped it for the time being. Copy flip attach I leave till I think the model finished.) ;>) jake

Really funny looking characters. Love them! You are on the right way and exactly dowing the thing I am hasitating to do for a long time now. Keep it up. Very encouraging. ;>) Jake

I just modeld an old decadent baron in his morning gown. I will try to rigg him with the TSM to start exercise some posing. Any critics of the modell? Jake

O.k. thank you very much Aaver!

You mean make many single splines and add structure by rendering them as lines? You think that would work better then this emitter-thing? Jake

For a still I am planning, I need a person to walk in the rain. What would be the best way to simulate it. Any advise would be highly apreciated. Thanks Jake

Very nice modell! Here is my personal opinion , what could even make this a little bit better. I would make his shoes a lot bigger , his hair black and more bushy, maybe he lacks a little bit of upper-head there and naturally his bowed back and halfclosed eyes add a lot to the typical "Gastonpose" ;>) Jake

That looks very very interesting to me. Is this going to be some Anime, some game ? You are not going for the cellshaded style , are you? What`s P4, why did you move back and forth? all the best ;>) Jake

Hey Yves, I like your work very much and I agree with you that your first headversion looked slightly too big, but sorry in my opinion now it looks way too small , killing that stylized Mike James cute pin-up girl look and going in the direction of one of these overtrained body-building girls. It might not be the right thing to aim at realistic proportions with the head, when the whole figure is unrealistic....... You surly know the french Cartoon-artist Dani and his sexy girls? Thats the extreme end of the proportions your first version resembled a little at first, and which I think matches better for sexy pinup-girls style. Maybe you should look at it again after some time and reconsider. Another thing: How do you plan to use this model later on? Won`t it be a copyrightproblem then, when you used a figurine of Mike James or Emma Peel for modeling ? Maybe that`s another thread, but I am just interested, if one could run into problems there. As I said, my critic has nothing to do, which that I admire your genius modeling very much. ;>) Jake
