I've finally finished modeling what I had planned in mind. I modeled in the simplest way, but also effective. I used Freeman's tuturial for the teeth...Below is a pose slider test for my guy...Later you'll be seeing an attempt to lip syncing teeth. I thought about this and looked at myself in the mirror. The teeth barely move at all! And for some reason, when I lip sync with the teeth by moving it up and down naturally, it looks great! (lip sync tests coming later) Pose test Note: Due to Angelfire privacy, you must right click and push "save target as..." or you must right click, hit properties, copy the full web address in the box, and paste the address into the bar..Critiques please

That would be funny

As I said before, I couldn't do and can't do lip sync with my teeth, but I can make some simple noises with them..here's a clip of them yawning...

Or What you can do is right click and push "Save target as..." Yawning clip

It looks awesome so far! Keep going at it

I've finally gotten the teeth animated...a link is below of a "walk" cycle, or as it really is, a chattering cycle. I'm thinking I should create one chatter like this one and another that doesn't involve the opening of the mouth...Note: due to angelfire policies and privacy, you must right click, hit properties, and copy the full address in the box that pops up. Then paste the address into the address bar. Or, what you can do is right click on the link and push "Save target as...". Walk Cycle Test

No, I didn't...I'm into magic tricks and my name is Jake, so I combined the two and there ya go

Thanks guys..there are cobwebs on my teeth model (meaning I haven't touched them for awhile) because I can't see to get lip sync on the guy. It's very hard for teeth. I'm planning to do something without talking. Like a bag of sugar comes in and the teeth get scared, etc.

Did you use any glow for the lighting? I think that would create the effect more mysterious

It looks pretty good. I'm intersested...what method do you use to make the face?

I am flipping off my seat right now. That's amazing modeling, but the lighting is even more spectacular! How did you get the beams off the top ceiling light (in the middle)

Why do that when you can render it as lines and set the group's transparency at 100? Or would that just make the lines transparent too?

Hey, thanks, I wish I made it but no its actually a picture and I photoshoped out the glare in the original picture so that it would make a good color map That's what I thought you probably did..but it doesn't matter how you do it..it only matters how it turns out

That model is awesome? Where did you start?

What do you mean by making an "L" the progresseively extruding it across?

Ok...This still isn't working...I got the bottom but I'm trying to figure out the end of the bottom...I tried your idea but I couldn't get it to work

Yeah..thanks a lot..I'll post up the finished model with texture at the end

Hmmm..it looks better when I shape it up..(the sides coming up and the middel going down) to match the back...that might be the prob..

I tried what you said and came out with this (not so smooth):

I tested with my own card. It all depends on how you drop it....The way I illustrated it was the most natural way. Try it yourself. Hold a card perfectly horizontal..Sometimes it will just drop straight down, but most of the time it does what is shown in the animation...I didn't flip it at the end, which I should have

When I break or delete splines on the bottom the splines connected jump to another CP because it's disconnected...

Could someone please answer?

I have created a great back for a seat to be used inside a vehicle I'm creating. My problem is this...What's the best way to create the bottom? (see screenshot below)

Are you on a Mac?

Matrickz, did you use Photoshop to create the eye iris decal? Or did you take a pic of your eye and apply the iris as a decal (sure seems like it) lol.

I have modeled a bicycle card and the main reason I did such a simple model is because I want to study the physics of true animation. So, what you'll see below is an animation of a card fluttering down to the ground (hard to see where the ground is, but the card hits the ground at the end). Critiques would be much appreciated...
