I think the proliferation of schools is driven by two things... -an abundance of people wanting to be students -an abundance of pedigreed animators who need to make more money I don't think there's surge of animation jobs in the US.

Every time I turn around some one is starting another animation school.

You're getting better at that. I agree... unpinch the nose some.

I'm not convinced that needs another spline ring. I think weighting it right will solve the problem. Send me the bottom half of that penguin and I'll show you what to do.

First, use the primitives from the A:M data folder. If you want a bigger cube but with a same size bevel, drag each side out farther rather than scaling the whole cube If you wanted a same size cube but with smaller bevel, do the above , the scale the whole back down.

Congratulations! hmm... Wyoming sounds a bit far from IL. But maybe if it were part of bigger vacation to see Yellowstone and all that before it gets covered with oil... it might be fun to work in.

What do you do with the volume once you know it?

I looked on Steffen Gross' site and it's not listed there. It may be new for v16. I don't have it in my v15 either.

Turning into a major work!

My advice would be to do a few short tests of the sort of things your character does and see how that goes and post those.

I dont' know what all you have in it.

I presume the feet controllers are not children of the hips and that is the correct arrangement if you are doing something like my simple leg. With IK legs you will need to manage the feet so they are appropriately placed. If you've posed the hips so that the legs don't reach the feet anymore... move the feet so that the legs can reach them again. On a rig like TSM2 the feet will stay attached to the legs if you move the hips too far away, but this still leaves the foot controllers behind and causes the legs to be unnaturally pulled tight. You would still need to properly position the foot controllers so that the legs are appropriately posed. There is no animation situation where you would ever allow the legs to be pulled tight by a too distant foot controller... because it looks odd.

First guess... you don't have the pose that contains the constraints turned ON Best option... turn it on in the model and resave the model. Then it will be on by default every time you use your charcter.

You may find this discussion of another forum member's jump tests useful... http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=352251

The jump motion looks better in the context of the scene. By itself it's hard to tell when he's jumping. I, too, think he should be pushing off harder since he is jumping so high.

Smartskin could do that.

Add that as a "note" to the AMReport. I think it's the Hooks that are getting messed up.

fireworks.mov ChrysanthemumBoomFireworks08.prj It's 235 years old, out of money and parts of it keep catching fire but somehow the USA has stumbled through yet another year. For those of you not in the US but thirsting to be part of our aging, insolvent fire hazard, be sure to know the answers to these key questions: -Who is buried in Grant's Tomb? -Where was the Boston Tea Party? -When was the War of 1812? -Why did Washington cross the Delaware? Nail those and you'll be ahead of most Americans.

Probably not, but I just thought I'd through that in there.

that does make it work! However, that discrepancy from the 0 axis is within the mirror mode tolerance (0.05 on mine) and v15 is able to deal with it while v16 is not. It looks as if anything with a hook is a problem.

In my sample PRJ I put in the AMReport it's as zeroed as zeroed can be and it still doesn't CFA properly. Works in v15, doesn't work in v16

Now an AMReport... http://www.hash.com/reports/bug_view_advan...php?bug_id=5960

This is not a problem with mirror mode not working. This is a problem with CFA not working. On the left is the model CFA'd in v15 and on the right in v16. Obviously something is way out of whack there. I'll AM report that.

Welcome back! Looking forward to your updates.

Can you post an example model that won't mirror after you CFA?
