Sounds tricky. Maybe using grouped patches? ie frist group has small, next has medium and next big.

WOW! You opened my eyes.

Hey Will...how did the premiere go?

Looking good! If you want it, it wouldn't take much extra work to add a pelvis to the mesh. You could even model it into the jumper.

Good stuff and good idea! Don't be too rough on them Rod, eh!

If it's at night, a blue tint is usually the colour used in movies to signify this. It looks good! Maybe abit too fast though.

Aha! Now all is clear...except the script Very educational. Thankyou. I don't know how feasible it is to make a plugin. As you say it depends on interest. As it stands, if this is the way to do footprints in AM atm, I could see a demand there to cut the time and effort. You can put my name down anyway.

Looks good as it is.....From memory of making him in Sculpey, his nose is more pointed at the end. Maybe it's longer altogether too? I think his cheekbones( not necessarily his chin) could be further apart too as Jim says. Post any changes you make!

Can't wait to see it! Hope it's released worldwide.

Looks really cool! I especially like the rock it's all sitting on. Is it mostly a material?

Wow! Very atmospheric! I can see a game in that!

Not bad at all! The wings look abit thin and when he jumps his back legs go forward instead of back. Keep it up.

I just get sound and a black picture when viewing the animations

Here's a scene from a pda adventure game I'm working on. All work done in AM with a little help from Photoshop. The car was inspired by pictures in this very forum! C and C welcome.

The second one is best I think. It obviously shouldn't go as deep as that. I think also, it should die out faster and not ripple back in.

Great work John! I'd love to see a run through on how you made the car if you had the time. Or even a wireframe of it.

Excellent! You don't need any help

Most of the time, I find it's faster to redo things than to try and hack away at an existing model. In fact, it's double faster because I've learned how to do it better along the way. No model is useless, no matter if you use it or not. A good way to model is to work in 2 dimensions first. Then when you are happy with the distribution of the splines, you can start pulling the points out in the third dimension. You may even consider sketching the model first and using that as a background template. Also, remember, you only have to model half the face and flip it over. Happy modelling!!

I wish my first model was as good as that! Good stuff....like the teeth In order to know if he'll animate well, we'd need to see the underlying wireframe. Keep it up!

I just want to echo the support....your skill and patience are God-sent!

Got you now I'm going to keep stride length on and adjust the positions of the markers. Thanks.

Right. I turned off "Has Stride length" and now I can see the "Repeat" option. If I read you right, the higher the Repeat number, the the more strides he will do. If so, I'm putting the Repeat up to 100 and he's not going any faster than when it's at 1. Is it me or my machine?

Hi Randy Hmm....you're right. I'm reading the 2002 manual and it also has it in the Animation Master:2002 book. It *was* there, so, it makes me wonder why it was taken out. Anyway, thanks for the reply

Me again Do you know where I can find the Repeat option? I want to make him cycle more times over the same distance and time. It's not in the same place as the Ease as it shows in the manual.

Thanks Iham
