If the OBJ was imported as a "Prop" I suspect the reason is that you can not resave a Prop from A:M to preserve such edits, so having the settings appear in the Chor, which can be saved, allows some saving.

update with proportion changes, deeper eye sockets, larger nostrils. Everyone puts tiny nostrils on these things but the hole in the skull for them is rather large. Still looks like Gorn to me, however.

make sure it's saving as MDL and not txt

VERY quick Boolean Cutter explanation... http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=367702

I've always thought of it as more blunt too, like the Disney version... But the current "style" seems to be trending towards a very beak-like appearance. But here's a very scholarly image I just found that is quite round at the snout... I should study this more, and will.

Like this?

Happy Birthday! I hope we'll enjoy your contributions to the forum for many years to come!

What is weevil?

will need some teeth...

Looks epic!

The are indeed relationships. They appear in the hierarchy like this.

In case anyone is doubtful, it is indeed 24fps for "Rear Window" The fps setting is in the "Project" properties. The origin of 24fps as a standard is not entirely clear. Film historian Kevin Brownlow says that while early silent filmmakers settled on about 12-16 fps as a rough target, theater owners soon began to project films slightly faster so they could get an extra show in each day. Filmmakers countered by shooting faster and theater owners countered back. This arms race continued all through the 20's until sound came in. A solid standard HAD to be adopted for sound and 24 fps was chosen as an average of the prevailing projection rates at that time. It probably helped that 24 frames of film was exactly 1.5 feet and for animation it turned out well because 24 was evenly divisible by 2,3,4,6,8 and 12. 29.97 for NTSC... that's got to be one of the biggest design mistakes of the 20th century but we have to live with it.

Could you post your skeleton saved at the moment just before you run mirror bones?

And Gene... from now on you will save your work in incremented versions so if anything goes wrong you have something recent to fall back on. I know you will.

The small head looked a tiny bit... retarded. But if you're Superman maybe you don't need a large brain. How many "heads" tall is each version?

that looks great. I remember that and at the time it sounded like you were using a rotating light of some sort. Was it a light on a spline?

Do I get you right: A light travels along those paths in a multipass frame? Yes. You can see a set up where a spline light simulates the sunlight reflecting off a spot on the floor here. I used the lowest res Kleig light for speed. Paths with straight lines are not really ideal, the best path would be a completely random squiggle that still evenly covered the area.

I remember "Amazing Computing" and "the Bandito"

a .zip is compressed file you must extract contents from to use.

He looks great! The head looks small, but I guess if he's got giant shoulders the head will look small!

Good detective work, Nancy!

Well, it actually bluescreened my computer! I'm not sure what's wrong. when I load it in v15 or v17 i get a normal looking render box when i go to render. But it causes a few crashes for not-known reasons. I found one remaining ROTOCONTAINER pair at the end that I edited out. Load this and see what happens. I dragged it into i new model and resaved. That's a great looking truck! DeliveryTruck4.zip

Extraordinarily remote possibility... the keyboard shortcuts for the views are gone. Got to Tools>Customize>Keyboard and see if things like Top View and Front View have shortcuts listed. Remake them if they are not there, and if they are there try adding a shortcut to some other key just to see what happens.

If you want to send me the file, Gene, I'll take a stab at it.
