Congrats on your endeavor. You guys are inspirational. That's some top notch quality. Keep up the good work.

Maya would be the program of choice at Pixar. Animation Master is the program of choice of independant animators and amatures. My advice is to go ahead and keep with Animation Master along with whatever it is they'll teach you in college. You'll have an advantage of knowing more than one program, plus the fact that you'll be able to do your own independant work out of class which will definitely enhance your animation skills. Knowledge = Power.

Job well done Andy. Great acting, and that scene touches the heart.

That's coming along really well. Those characters look awesome.

I think that looks really good. I agree with Matt about the darkness. It's amazing how much sound adds to a clip.

Refer back to the magnifying lense video, it shows how to make the surface transparent (I believe he used 95% Transeparency) and you can give it some Reflectivity. You find all these in the Project Work Space under your model's properties (the little triangle next to your model's name that opens a whole drop down menu).

Did you use compression setting Sorensen3 for your mov format?

Wow! That is one heck of a video clip. It has to be included in Hash's promotionals. First class Stian

First class my friend. First class! Keep up the good work.

Very nice indeed. Great improvement. Adding to Jim's critique, watch the arcs of the legs' movements. To simulate heaviness the leg should accelerate to the ground as it reaches it. Also have some follow through movement after the foot hits the ground (like a quick dip of the body where the foot hits the ground). And a small anticipation before the hind leg lifts off. It's the small details that make your model look real. Revisit Robcat's critiques in TWO to further improve the movement of this most excellent model.

Great work as always Stian. I'd like to see Dustin's animation of it someday.

Caroline, I applaud you on how fast you're getting the hang of this program. I am looking forward to the day when you showcase your movies

Why do these creatures creep me out? I think it's time for John to get some fresh air.

May the operation be a success and the recovery swift in God's care.

You suppose correctly Thanks.

I guess I could live without the hind toe control. Now as for the commercial use restriction; my intention is to enter animation festivals and contests which may or may not involve monetary reward. Would you consider that to be commercial use? I need clarification.

Way to go Satyajit and congratulations on crossing the hurdle. I bet you're excited. In shots 101, 103 and 106, the characters tend to block the view of the other. That's about all that I see that needs improvement.

You didn't have to change it just because I said they looked like flipflops. Well, now they look like open toe sandals Are you gonna change that too? You're too funny. Great modeling though. I'd like to see this thing animated.

Somebody's in the holiday spirit Nice work John.

After turning the TSM constraints ON the Tiger rig works beautifully. I only wish there were toe controls for the hind paws.

I'm not sure what it means when my computer asks me to run ActiveX whether it's playing QT or Flash, but it plays very well. The picture is sharp and the sound is crisp. Well done.

At first glance of the title I thought it's gonna be about the school fire tragedy in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia! Job well done Jimmy. A theme shared by many major religions and you portray it in a very unique style. I liked it alot. I hope you continue with your "enlightenment".

I downloaded the tiger since he may be starring in my next project. Only the mouth bone works, nothing else

This is really a great character. That run is so...3dartzy Which is to say it's excellent. The only critique I have is about the jump. I think he should throw his arms straight up rather than put them to his sides just as he jumps, to enhance the jumping action.

Finish it anyway Waheed, this is too good to let go.
