    I haven't tried using it yet but the results certainly look good! I think this is some of the best animation that I have seen from you. I would like to see more!

    This could be a shadow bias thing. Try raising the bias value.

    That is a really nice looking car. Having done a little car modelling I can vouch for how hard it is. You have tempered the tendency of splines very well but I think you are asking a little much of the 5p patch to the side of the headlight there. I would be tempted to add another radial round there to smooth things out and get more control.

    Great to see it finally out there for the public to marvel at. Nice to see my name on the credits too... though what I did is nothing next to your massive achievement. Now get back to animating you lazy bastard
  6. John Keates
    Really great modelling texturing and rendering. I can't wait to see you try rigging and animating!
  7. John Keates
    I journey into London now and then and there have been meetings on occasion. They fizzled out recently but we will see... I like your work by the way (looked at your website).
  8. John Keates
    You should be able to access the chanel type widget in the pws if you crack open the model. HTH
  9. John Keates
    Wow! I had no idea that you were such a high achieving animator.
  10. John Keates
    Nice character and I like the dismount. Maybe you could find a way to get some secondary motion on the hair? The run is a little odd in the way that the legs suddenly pop backwards once they have left the ground. Also, the amount that the body bobs up and down is kinda between a run an a jog. In a jog, the body bobs up and down a fair bit, but in a fast sprint (I guess this is what you are going for here) the body doesn't really bob so much.

    It is a really nice peice of work. Quite professional and I like the modelling and facial expressions. The animation was a bit "pose to pose" for my liking... if you see what I mean. Maybe break the motion up a bit.
  12. John Keates
    Mulitpass is faster if you only use 1 or two passes - in most situations.
  13. John Keates
    Good tips Vern. Also, use dark grey and never black. Black....... BLACK... .... A fly....... TRAPPED!! ... in the dark. A cold cave.... lost... can't breathe.... etc etc.
  14. John Keates
    That was really heartwarming to watch!!! What a good community this is. And there is some nice work in there too.
  15. John Keates
    definitely female. Looking good. I think the hair needs a little work but it is very good otherwise. I would avoid normal maps. Bump maps will do for this.

    Hey Paul, This is really nice stuff. At this rate you will have completed your own version of the movei before the rest get there
