[New character WIP]

Thanks for comments, guys.

The structure of human ear reminds me of Klein's bottle.

And the shapes work like permanent organization...!

 

p.s. Don't watch ears too long.

Or you will get 'dazed and confused' by its structure!

Hello, Jim

 

Very nice model!

His chin form attracts me.

 

But I sometimes wonder your models' ears.

You can see following image.

I hope you like it.

Hi, DarkLimit

 

I downloaded Mr.Yves's prj file and made following image.

I found how to express caustics is so difficult...

Following Maya site may be helpful.

It is my pleasure if my opinion would be useful.

Because I'm a big fan of 'Alien Song'!

Hello, Victor

 

Thanks for sharing.

Making each UD bone a child of the LR bone sounds great idea!

Anyway, I got an opinion about horns.

I made following example.

I hope you like it.

[Copy Flip Attach hint please]

Hello,

I sometimes take following way.

 

 

Make spline at the opposite side of the object (like the image I posted).

Select both object and start Copy/Flip/Attach command.

Delete spline.

[Copy/flip bones???]

Hello, Hutch

 

Most text editor has function to search and replace words automatically.

Once you open mdl file, you can see like following.

 

================================

 

[bONES]

[sEGMENT]

Name=Right_Bone1

BoneColor=255 0 0 255

Rotate=-0.5 -0.5 -0.5 0.5

Length=10

[ENDSEGMENT]

[ENDBONES]

 

================================

 

In this thread's case, you should search 'Right_' and replace to 'Left_'.

And you got following result,

 

Name=Left_Bone1

 

right?

 

 

If you have hundreds of bones, this function helps you a lot.

Hello, Julian

 

scale X -100%!

I didn't know that.

That's very smart way.

Thank you for the info.

[Copy/flip bones???]

Hello, nerrazzi

 

Here is my way. I hope this will help you some.

 

If the model has following bones...

 

Right_Shoulder

Right_Bicep

Right_Forearm

Right_Hand

 

Back1

Back2

Back3

 

Right_Thigh

Right_Shin

Right_Foot

 

Create new model.

Drag 'Right_Shoulder' and 'Right_Thigh' to new model.

Save new model as 'CopyFlipBone.mdl' in your hard disk.

 

Open 'CopyFlipBone.mdl' in text editor (Word or something).

Replace all 'Right_' to 'Left_', 'Start=-' to 'Start='.

Save file.

 

Open file in A:M.

Show properties window.

Bone Position > Rotate > Y:'-abc' to Y:'abc' (Y:'abc' to Y:'-abc')

Bone Position > Rotate > Z:'-abc' to Z:'abc' (Z:'abc' to Z:'-abc')

 

Drag 'Left_Shoulder' and 'Left_Thigh' to original model.

 

Fin!

[Re: Please help me! V11alpha8 doesn't start!]

Hi, Gen Isono. I took the way you gently told me. And succeeded!!! I deleted the target folder with regedit. (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hash, Inc.\Animation Master V11.0) Thank you very very much!! ------------ Takahiro

[Please help me! V11alpha8 doesn't start!]

Hello, how are you on holidays? I got trouble... Please help me! V11 alpha 8 doesn't start! I used alpha 8 for days and enjoyed the hair system. And today, I repeated start and quit alpha8, and then it never started again. I tried uninstall and reinstall 5 times. But nothing changed. Reinstalled v10.5o works well. Is there file that should be deleted after uninstalling? Anybody know how to solve this problem? If you tell me the way, I will really appreciate. ---------------------- Takahiro OS:Windows2000

That's so fun! ---------------- takahiro

Hello, Jim Nice work, always. I downloaded your tutorial video. I could watch and hear your voice on my Windows 2000 pc. And I got one question about total time. Is total time of the video 8:20? Your nice voice stopped suddenly. takahiro

I'm gonna make his glove, batting action, catching action, and facial expressions.

 

I will learn his action form more carefully.

He looks more healthy than before, I think.

Don't you think so?

 

Sincerely,

Thanks for comment, DarkLimit.

Hmm, the model may be stabilized by the foot position.

Here is wireframe.
