Wonderful work! I really like the graphic camoflage design which I presume is authentic Razzle-Dazzle style.

Somebody get that alien a cheeseburger.

Hey Dagoos, you oughta submit that to Spike and Mike's Festival of Sick and Twisted Animation. I think it could make it in. I suppose if I said I like Santa Claus you'd tell me that was all a trick too.

That looks wonderful! Love the ears!

That was cute, I don't think I had caught that in either version before. I notice the audio track uses more MBs than the video. If you have QT pro, the AAC codec could probably cut that down.

Hey, that turned out real well, Dhar! Congratulations!

you mean for CP selection while modeling? The period key will do that I believe.

Charming beast. six legs?

23 years! congratulations!

The model looks good, but... This is just me, but I think acronyms have lost their power There are too many of them out there. I'd pursue something that uses the name in full. Unless he insists on an acronym. Then you're set.

yup, that's weird. Like something from a 1930's Buck Roger's serial.

I think that turned out pretty well! [attachmentid=21338] The parts circled in red may crease because there are more than two splines going thru a CP. You could probably eliminate a hook by deleting the red splines and reattaching the blue one as in teh pic..

those clips look great! Put some overlapping motion on the antennae.

V14 is just out in "alpha" now and I doubt they'll get to "release" before the end of the year. So i think that if you buy the 2007 CD at the end of this year it will run V13 (the current release) and whatever V14's come out during 2007.

Good looking planes! If we saw some specular reflection (from the light of the sun) on them that might make them seem a bit more real. They do move a bit too spritely, more like a kite rather than a heavy plane.

FWIW, that WIP movie isn't a conventional movie. It's really a series of separately rendered files concatenated (I like using that word) in QT Pro then resaved without being recompressed. So what you have is JPEG frame, movie, JPEG frame, movie... The result should be a completely legal QT file but maybe they don't have all the bugs worked out of that hip multimedia "container" thing.

That probably didn't help your cause. Whether you meant it or not it's saying that the on-screen talents are the ones you respect enough to compensate and not the off screen ones. Try making a movie with just on-screen talent!

cool looking crawly things.

I forget if V11.1 has the "good" cloth in it. I think that came later. But in any event, cloth usually needs to start far away from the surface it will drape on. Typically they will shrink the legs, let the cloth fall, thensize the legs back to normal and then start the real animation. somewhere there's a tut on that.

It's the "think" method. You just render a white screen and think about animating. Well, I tried downloading it again and it seems ok. Did it fail more than once for you?

a second chor action is needed to put your new keyframes in [attachmentid=21095]

I recall he made two versions of the pic in a paint program first. One regular for the background, another that used an alpha channel to cut out everything except him for the foreground. the 3D character goes in between.

I just noticed someting.. shouldn't spider legs all come out of the front body segment?

I believe blue is used to indicate keyframes in muscle-mode. any chance you accidentally got into muscle mode? render to targas (instead of QT or AVI) and you will only lose the frame in progress, the others will be saved. you can pick up where you left off by setting the frame range. looks cool! What's Mr. Incredible doing in ancient egypt?
