I will note that a key element of the entrance exam is following the directions.

I did not catch the Chimpanzee before! He's going to space?

That's beautiful! Thanks for posting it!

Mark Largent brought this to my attention on Facebook...Walt Disney died 50 years ago today. A whole universe of things have happened since then in just 50 years. So much has changed and so much has come and gone and come and gone again. I'm just old enough to remember him introducing "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" each week on Sunday night TV. I had to imagine the color since we were too cheap to get a color set. That and "Bonanza" were the big watch-TV-with-popcorn-and-a-root-beer-float event for our family. I recall my mom showing me this drawing or one like it in the morning paper.

Great-looking candles, Gerald! I used to get an Advent calendar from an aunt every year but it would always arrive late about a week into December. Instead of letting me open all the doors of the days already past I had to slowly apportion them out over the remaining days until Christmas.

Clarification: A "broad jump" is a jump starting from a standing position with both feet together, jumping forward and landing with both feet together. It was actually an Olympic event at one time.

If you would like to be considered for the Body Mechanics Boot Camp (seats are limited!) do one of the following... - A bouncing ball entering from screen left and exiting screen right or - Any character doing one broad jump, from left to right. Don't spend more than an afternoon on it, but do your best and send me the PRJ, with everything embedded, in a forum private message by December 31

12 bands sounds like a lot for toon shading but, yes, you basically adjust the markers by hand to get the divisions you want. I imagine text editing a file would be a way to get precise results.

I'll note that Rabbit and KeeKat have Poses that position their eyes. Their eyes will appear oddly in the model window where Poses are not in effect.

What part looks strange? That looks like a proper shaded wireframe render. BTW, I'll note that you can quickly switch between wireframe/shaded with the 8, 9 ,0 keys at the top of the keyboard (if you are not already typically doing that)

Sent you a PM

I really think the treez plugin is the way to go

At least thru v15. I think v16 was the break because that was when the 64-bit versions started also.

I dimly recall that my Win2K machine stopped running the alphas I was getting from Steffan at either v16 or 17. He went to a new compiler and Win 2K was not supported so i needed to build a new machine at that point. By that time everyone was on Win 7.

You'll only need a light if you need the lens flare effect OR if you need it to actually illuminate something.

My v10.5 shows a creation date of 3/2/2004 I think the Orangutan was the mascot Yes it would run on 95/98/NT But if you have something earlier and want to try experimenting, I suppose there's no harm, especially if you are just modeling with it and saving MDLs for use elsewhere.

I recommend not going back further than v10.5 just because that's when our current interface finally settled into place. Versions before that can look very confusing today.

Congratulations o Congratulations on the notice!

I get a 404 not found on that gif.

I would suggest making an AM report of this...

If you've read any drawing books you probably have encountered the advice to vary the shape of the fingers for a more natural look, as the masters of the Renaissance did... (from Will Kimball's Trombone blog: Four Trombone Paintings in Genova Church )

My first quick comment would be to move the origin of the bicep so that it is more over the armpit area and not so far out into the arm. Also move the origin of the shoulder bone farther in, almost to the spine. Think how shoulders move when they shrug. After that some CP weighting will need to be done to create smooth bends at those joints. Can you bring this to Live Answer Time?

And I'll note we're looking at a time span of about 10 weeks, January through March-ish.

Pretty much have to have it! Thanks. I made that. He's called StickTrooper!

I need to get a spectrum of times from everyone about when you're available to meet. It doesn't have to be the time when you would do your home work, but it does need to be time when you could clear out 60-90 minutes for the Skype call.
