haha...one letter can make a difference

Well, I'd say your model is great! If you're having problems with good poses, I'd take a small mirror, look at my face in it (before it cracks ) and use those expressions as a reference for making poses in a character. Your second question (creating a counterpart character) all depends on what's best for you. What'd I do would compare differences and similarities between the character ideas..if there are more similarities, I'd build from the already built model, and if there are more differences, I'd either build a new model or work off the pre made model at a minimal amount

The last part you said...how would I be able to do that? When you say blend, do you mean make both shoes look like one?

You know, making simple medicine tablets are fun! lol.It's mainly to learn about cycles, and some basic modeling..very basic...I've posted a zip folder wiht a walk cycle test...anything to change? P.S. Ibu brothers is short for Ibuprofen brothers Walk_Cycle.zip

Sounds cool, like Alfred Hitchcock's move, the Birds except with squirrels and chemicals

Cool! I can do! thanks Rodney!

Well, if you have a video editor you could save it in web format/compressed..I just posted up a vid in a folder (aspirin bottle, check it out) and that's what I did

I couldn't figure out something to do in A:M so I decided to to an aspirin bottle animation...it's a really old punchline, but it was a great excersise for squash and stretch, and arc movement (sorry for the bad quality) Aspirin.zip

Did you build this model from a rotoscope?

according to the pelvis area of the pants, it looks like the pant legs are a bit to long

That's what he means..well if I just make a sphere and cut out a pie shape, put a light behind it, I could easily achieve this if I keep the bump map I have now

the second one worked fine for me, and the animation looks great!

That looks much better...you obviously moved the abdomen backa bit..that looks excellent..rendered view?

Ok..I observed some more records and think I know what you mean..do you mean something like this:

wouldn't I still have to make some grooves for that idea? Also, do you mean the needle should be "turned" a bit to the side to be almost horizontal to the label?

Ok..I tried the bump map idea with a bitmap image (best I could use)..I added a decal (don't mind the CBR..it's the name of an artist)..tell me what you think

I can't figure out a good way to add grooves in the record..I was thinking of just using a bump map of some grooves, but that would take some time to make

logan, sorry for not reading your post..I strongly apologize..I was rushing

I'm starting up a hip hop site and this will be one of the graphics included...I still have to create a label on the Record and add the grooves, along with labeling the power button

The front foot slips after the throwing action...

I'll try your idea about the tubes being too thick...thanks

somebody critique?

I looked at my sketch and realized that I have to have the "dropper" on the bottom
