Just an aside... You do want to get all your control bones keyed, but you don't want to get every bone in the character keyed, because many are invisible bones that the rig just uses for its own bone-manageing purposes. you won't want them keyed and taking up space in your timeline.

you can group select many keys and then squish the bounding box to make them take more time or less time. You may have to do this separately on each object. And... save a copy of your project before you try this the first time because you won't get it exactly right the first time you try it.

Well, I wasn't going to say anything because i figured we can't expect perfection from 20 minutes anyway; but then you started working on it some more... ok, no more comments from me. Sorry!

Those look beautiful!

The last constraint takes precedence over the first one. Do the "aim at" after the path constraint.

looks great. How did you do the mayonaisse?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... nope, not convinced yet. show me some reference footage of you doing that. In tights.

To clearly analyze this we'd have to get a look from one stable camera position (from the side). But he seems to be leaving the ground with bent legs, which is just about impossible if he's going to hurl his body into the air. there also seems to be quite a bit of "redo" in his body movement at the first cut

calculating? that could mean lots of things. rendering? locating? I suppose if an off-camera patch cast a shadow on-camera it would need to be considered in some way.

cute image, i especially like the chimney!

Would a decal serve to color the feathers? A decal wouldn't translate.

good looking fish! the gills might need re-thinking.

Copy and paste won't work? What will having multiple models in the same model file get for you?

Hey that looks good!

i notice the movie is only rendered at 15 fps. that's going to make any fast motion look jerky. 24 or 30fps would get more inbetweens in there.

Sheridan college, wow! Welcome to A:M. Keep all those 2D things they taught you in mind and you'll do well with it.

from looking at the movie I'd guess it's a "Stride Length" problem. The stride length is set too small so she's going thru each cycle too fast.

I notice that happening after the first use of the magnet tool. The sphere will show up for the first selection but not always for others after that. try turning magnet mode off then on again. worth a try.

Welcome to A:M! I think blobbies are a good choice. I'd make them much faster and briefer for a sudden "splat"

It's a zip file with stuff in it... use "extract" in winzip to save the stuff to somewhere on your hard drive. Wizip has "help" if you're not sure how to do it. Make sure you remember where you extracted to... because that's where you're going to go in A:M to load these things. You want to load a model? rightclick on "objects" in the Project Workspace >Import>Model

I axed him and axed him to embed those models...

Hey, the crowd is very quiet during dives! It's like a tennis match, except with water. And no rackets or John McEnroe. A gasp from the crowd[attachmentid=14713] And then a distant "That's gotta hurt!" LoonGasp.mov

Zach is the king of the Animation:Master one-man short! What? No crowd noise?

Doe this have anything to do with the settings onthe "sound" tab in the Options panel? No sound playing at all? You did drag the sound into the Chor, not just import it?
