U know what I meant:)
no but seriously I mean the poses, when I said morph targets.
Im not rigging the dboxes anymore as I have not been able to get them to work in that way
for a long time now...
-
Honestly... the fastest and easiest way is to use d-boxes to give you the morph targets.
I used to spend a lot of time trying to creativly rig bones in the face to get desired results,
but its much easier to have 1 bone make up the lower jaw and mouth, one bone to make up the upper mouth
and nose and one bone for each eye, all children of the head bone.(so that if you want to deform the whole head and have
all elements deform intact u apply it to the head bone)
then apply a deformer for each region and shape. A:M is great at creating smooth blends between
multiple morph targets.
Im sure there are downsides, but if your out to quickly get it going, then thats what I recommend.

Wow that has made a big jump!
Cool!

can u do something to darken the sand that is in contact with the water line? like the point where the water meets the land line and then gradually have it fall off to the normal dry colored sand.
I think it would add some nice detail to what you have going...

the splines look pretty good to me. I cant see any area that has too many splines, based on the shape.
Maybe the nostrils/nose could be cut down a bit, but looks like you were using the bare minimum.
cool!

Looks cool! A little like Jar Jar Binks or maybe his long lost cousin!!!
Can we see a shaded wireframe???
-
I know this is an OLD guy, who is probably stiff from age:)
but try getting the lower back and hips involved in the body action!
nice model

Draagn! thanks for the bday wish! very much appreciated!
as far as the product, I also say go for it! Maybe a small run at first to see
interest levels. If you can get the product into a Walmart or other type stores,
you could very well make a nice profit!

Its very cool! My experience with watering xmas trees.... we water it once and the water stays in the base
for 2 weeks.
I'd explore the "need" before going full on production.

Mark, thanks for the props!
Hey its about time this popped up. Great little examples uve posted for us to see.
I had been using the dboxes to create lipsynch and other facial posed. I was nesting them
into 1 pose that would activate the dboxes around the face, then I would create a new pose
for say the letter "a". that "a" pose would now would contain the dbox pose and the new coordinates
for the control points of the dbox. It was so nice and neat.
However, it stopped working and I did pester the powers that be to fix it.
I think martin was about to fly out to nyc to kill me....
So, what I do now... I have one bone for lower jaw and one bone for upper mouth, with a nose and eye bones as children
of the upper. So when I distort the upper mouth, the distortion carries over to the nose area and eyes. everything stays connected during distortion. Is so EZ
but I would prefer the dbox to be nestled into the pose window.Mike Fitz

nice work.... again!

Yves,
I set .45 in the A:M render window for the gamma settings.
My head is spinning after trying to keep track of what to set where???
So, keep the A:M gamma at 2.2.... and then just go on with life?
-
rendering out to .45 looks like this on one of my cho. files.
before... the gamma was set at 1.
the main difference is the dark shadows....
would the dark shadows show up lighter on a tv screen?
-
I suspect you've gone insane!!!!
fantastic stuff!

its easier to catch up with poverty issues and health care than it is to catch up technology and militarily wise.
Especially militarily.
Being able to defend ones country is by far the most important thing. with out it, it is certainly in mans capabilities to
be so aggressive and hateful towards others that whole races could be eliminated.
Aftre the threat of attack is minimilzed(spelling?) other issues can be attended to.
as far as universal healthcare.... its possible... but eliminating poverty is not. at least not in a world where people
HAVE to work for things.
-
So even while the US has more weapons especially more advanced weapons than any other nations, the us is still spending SO much money on it.
*Fuchur*
Thats no reason to stop the advance of technology. It will be our saviour from ourselves.... and from whatever "life" will
cross our paths.
lets face it, the ability to defend ones self is the most important element to peace.

My problem with this race is that its turning into a popularity vote....
most of the young, clueless, I'm for change just for change, P-Diddy-Vote or Die crew, is going
to vote for Obama just because he is a minority without really thinking about what he brings to
the table as a presidential candidate.... and its not really all that impressive.
btw, Obama is not black, he is mulato.
-
McCain basically just shot himself in the foot....
-
Looks great.
could you make the soil material next to the water look wet/damp,
gradually turning dry as you get closer to the grass???
cool.
-
If obama picked hillary, he definately would not win....
But as you said, it needed a lot of polish. I would say that it would have been good for an animatic...
but polishing is needed....
damn deadlines!!!
-
Maybe we could have a discussion that critiques my critiques.
just a thought:)
-
Mr. 3DArtz said "that is bad animation", fair enough.
Right, I should have offered more in my crits.
the animation problems are global in this case.
so I'm not sure where to begin. But, if I were working on this animation, I would make some actions quicker some slower,
with anticipation moves and follow through moves.
try doing the desired animation moves in the mirror to get a good reference point.

Obama needs a little more experience before he's ready to run the United States....
