Thanks you had my vote

okay after adding some splines I decided to sewe how it might look with some color etc.. this is only a quick trial Still open to suggestions on model or rigging [attachmentid=18224] Now to rig so nothing to post for awhile test1.mov

thanks for the suggestions so far I will be adding some more splines to the arms and legs ( which Jeff are connected by 5-pointerss..hard to see) I'll add maybe another spline to the stomach and probably more splines to the cloth portion. Then the dreaded rigging begins. No mischief though...very serious attempt Johnl3d

Trying something I usually don't do and that is modeling. I am posting a wireframe and shaded wireframe to help with my questions. This model will be animated and I was wondering if the normal rigs will work when there are no hand or mainly feet. And any potential trouble with the model ..I noticed that the arms could use another ring or two of splines....There will be no mouth only implied by the bouncing of the nose. And I have to add a tail. The skirt will be cloth. [attachmentid=18162] [attachmentid=18163] Thanks Johnl3d

okay..I guess that helped

Yes you can animated a property You could control it with a pose , action or chor adjustment The pose would allow the most control I might have a tut somewhere will have to look

nice look and feel

Remember the plug in is included with 13 but can be downloaded at the site site for plug -in get the one for AM http://www.darksim.com/html/simbiont.html Free Textures http://www.darksim.com/Repository/ Sample renders http://www.pixelburg.com/am_materialtest/d...nt21/index.html The great thing is a lot are animated Water ones I tried http://johnl.inform.net/pages/105sim.htm http://johnl.inform.net/pages/watersim.htm had to try one in v13b [attachmentid=17898] ytest.mov

did a quck study of these three [attachmentid=17894] except for hair collision this quick test looks good hat is cloth a.mov

Rodney I took Thom gave him poses with percentage slider. Then in action had expression drive the pose slider. Here is the result. Maybe someone else could help tweak this idea [attachmentid=17865] [attachmentid=17866] If you scroll you'll see it almosted works on a frame by frame basis ...hmm random.mov rodney.zip

watch and see if this helps http://johnl.inform.net/pages/easysprite.swf.html

Glad I almost helped...

they all have alpha channels you need a paint program to see the image

[attachmentid=17819] I found these two notes Most of my projects old and new included the sprites unless they were on the cd Rodney I have about 50 megs of older projects zipped Most are still on my website but some links are no longer visible. note.zip

Been to busy to do much but the start of this idea Will post project when I get something closer to what a envisioned [attachmentid=17785] [attachmentid=17786] ltest.mov ltest1.mov

[attachmentid=17661] Close needs a little tweaking acombo.mov

Color layer and Wire layer 1st chor gets the info for layers 2nd chor gets the layers moving after switching camera types very Mini tut

One of those weird ideas when I think I can animate Fiirst render- rough draft [attachmentid=17598] Now to get the actual results I wanted combo.mov

Ross's boomerang made me try this used an expression to rotate the boomerang which was constraint to a path [attachmentid=17520] Sorry no project I closed AM before I saved it... boom.mov

Had not tried v13 hair so I put together this tree using a hair image and added some force changes for movement [attachmentid=17502] nothing too exciting [attachmentid=17504] included the image 13hairtree.mov 13hairtree.zip

did a quick search on forum http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?act=S...lite=%2Blobster
