Like the idea and I am sure the guy who is going to pay you $2,000 does too. Nice image man, you da mun!

heh, I've hadmy problems with the community. Theres alot of nice people and then there is alot of really meanies and people who are stuck up....just wait till you meet David Rogers (Obnouak) or howver u spell it. OOPS did I say David Rogers out loud

Well here is my first attempt to animate him. www.paulmcgrade.com/Frog Jumping.avi Let me know what you all think, how I can improve or whatever else. Thanks Paul Keep those ideas coming

!!! If he wanted to do that, he wouldn't have built in the first place! yep

Funny. Thanks for the ideas Mr. Jage. Comon I know everyone can at least give me one Paul

Hey all, I finally finished another character. I don't got a name for it YET but I was hoping maybe one of you can come up with a cool name . Anyway here it is: Took me about half a day to model, texture and completely rig it. Now for the fun part! Animating! I wanted to make a simple character to practice my animation skills and this is it. Now I was hoping you all could give me at least one thing to do with him . So far I got: Pushing a box (make it so that it looks like he is struggling to push it) and jumping off a building. Thats it . Now I could think of probably a few more but I thought it would be cool if everyone could tell me what to animate with him and then I go ahead and animate it and show it to everyone . If you are going to say something to animate please make sure to keep it simple like the two examples above but make sure that it is interesting . So lets see what everyone comes up with and I'll try my best Paul

Can you post some wireframes if you can of the top of the sword to show how you made the tip of it pointed. Thanks

heh. Thanks

Basically you can read everything im doing so far on Bill and Bob at my website: http://www.paulmcgrade.com/billandbob.htm You can listen to the voice-overs im using, the dialogue, what this is about heh, and even a few animated tests i've done so far and you can find this all on my website. Well there ya go let me know what you all think so far. Not that far yet but its getting there.

Looks similar to Jeff Lew's Killerbean short in a way. Like it though Paul

Markus can you animate the eyes? If so let me know how you make those type of eyes I have no clue how to do it and Its really frustrating me heh.

Vash, I said amazing talent because in us all whether we where born with the hand for 3d or not. We all have the ability to be the absolute BEST! We all have amazing talent within us. We just have to let it out and believe that we do.

Well Vash, If you havn't yet check out Colin Freeman's website at http://www.colins-loft.net/tutorials.html Those may be too advanced for you right now but dont let those words put your amazing talent down. Try it with all your heart and you can do it. Just might not be perfect at first but thats ok. If you find those too hard though just try drawing a character from your head and then modelling it. Also learn about what causes creasing and what dosn't. Paul

Well Vash you can always select the points that you didn't connect right and choose detach point. Or you can select the points and choose break or "K" for the keyboard shortcut "break". Hope this helps. Hit me up on aim if you got it. AIm name- paul210m Paul

Made everything in 5 days using version 11. Was my first character as well. That is 256 passes and took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to render and I know I probably could of gotten away with less passes but I was going to take a nap while it rendered so what the heck . Hope you all like it. Please let me know what you all think. Paul
