You have an ex-girlfriend You had a girlfriend

There's a tutorial somewhere for that very thing. Check the A.R.M.

Make several copies and rig one each way. knowing how every thing works might make them easier to use in the future.

make a copy call it version 2 make your changes to it. You'll probly end up with several versions before you get one you happy with. Tip: split her down the middle Literally then you only have to work on one side then Copy/Flip/Attach

Nice looking model Epoch and yes you can apply cp weighting that easily there are tutorials on this site I'm not sure where right off hand do a search for cp weighting. Its actually pretty straight forward

I know just how you feel..........

THanks for the comments

Thanks to MIke fitz's tute on decal relationships I was able to figure out how to use a pose slider instead of a bone to drive the percetage relationship of the bump map.....Click here to see an example pretty cool stuff.......Thanks Mike

I like the complete spin of the head

Try that in 12........

Nice charactor Ken.....

Be careful posing him in some postions the brain stem looks kinda...well you get the idea.

MMMMMMMMMM.........

Mr. Martian Man?

Nice Butt Will, what's it attached to?

David if you wanna add more weight to the action have the landing after the heel strike a little faster and the push-off of the next foot a little slower right now they appear to be the same speed. Remember a weight droping is easy(gravity). Picking it back up isn't, The heavier the weight the slower it comes back up.

Absolutly start at #1 and work your way up. you can actually learn alot from watching every one else's post and critiques from the beginning...........

Pixar why don't you post that over in the students forum if you are learning as I am there are some good exercises there. Just follow the "boot camps" and alot of good people are keeping up with them to critique your work and help you

Try the students forum and do some of the exercises there

UHHH....I don't think he imported it! That was a little thing called SARCASM

try using "lock IK" for the head bone then the neck won't move with the head but it will still retain the heiarchy...... oops Zach beat me

Hey Sharky check the students forum "animation boot camp 4" can't argue that! can I

Thanks to all I'm almost done with Basicwoman so keep your eyes open I'll post her to. You can see a preview of her (sorta) in the showcase forum. Any suggestions on the rig? I know it can be better.....

That was the whole Idea behind making something simple 1st I learned alot about modeling 2nd I learned alot about rigging now animating!!!!
