That works quite well. Great looking character and he looks well rigged too! He looks like he's hiding from Officer McKnuckles. If I were going to alter one thing about his jump it would be to make his stretched out pose happen on his last frame of contact with the ground intead of 2-3 frames later in the air. that would make his jump look most forceful.

Awww... cute ant!

Are the bones in your flower actually named "right____" and "left ____"? Mirroring bones requires that and that the spine bones be absolutely centered. A flower doesn't really have a right and left to mirror.

Can you make a screen cam movie of you doing it?

no, you shouldn't. Didn't we do this one already? Mirror mode is only for modeling, BTW.

A fine experiment. So where's the chain(s)? I have a tandem; it's common, but not mandatory, that the cranks are offset 90°

Can you say more about what you don't understand about the channels/bias settings?

Basically, if you want a foot to stay put from 00:00 to 02:00 you need keys on 00:00 and 02:00 and they need to be "zero-slope" keys. More keys in the middle won't change much about the foot, but if you get some because you've been force-keying the whole model it won't hurt anything. Probably not. But the same principles apply. if you want the door to stay put from 00:00 to 05:00 you need keys on 00:00 and 05:00 and they need to be "zero-slope" keys. That's why those came first. Those pretty much make you move the whole body for every key so the advanced concept of keying something to make it stay still isnt' needed yet. Gotta introduce them sometime. That's what this project does. ok, I think we've found the problem...

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.
