Cant seem to get the install rig plugin to download, V13, file not found? Thanks

Your a Winner in my book, cool animation(s)

I enjoy Mech modeling and finding out how other do it can open ones eyes, I said $40 but that would include a model to deconstruct , otherwise $30 (I know it wasn't an option) for just the video tutorial. cool idea

A chubby cave man........I do like Ur model and animation.....inspiring

Super Job, I see none of U fellas have lost your inspiring touch...... A:Mazing

This model came about when late in the month I decieded to try and enter the Hash mascot contest and the only thing that was occupying my mind at the time was Steve Erwins death ,and I had been googling stingrays, I hope no one thought it was in bad taste, I did worry about that. It semed to be a model I could somewhat attempt (spline layout is horrific) , I'm not much with non mech models and weak at mech modeling..........The boneing is terriable, I did what I could just enough to get it to a pose I could live with. I did learn alot about materials when doing the texturing and had a version that used decals done with 3D painter (what a great program!!!) but went with the material version with some decals (I use a modified "tip of nose bump from Schlitzy)......Sense it has been along time from when I last contributed a model, here it is, for what it's worth ,still actually a WIP, like all my models...LOL.............. (Its a zipped Embeded consolidated project and I tried to make sure all materials and decals are in there) Mike I guess I did offend many, was not my intension, out of here ! Stingray_V2_Gather.zip

Man! I almost fogot to send a Big THANK YOU after downloading your models, They are very handy and well thought out.............. Mike

Rusty, Super Cool.....Checked out the web site.....nice test animations also, this is such a great project.......thanks for the update,,, Mike

Looks real Matt...I think I've use the handicap stall once or twice....I wanna see a toilet, and make it look all stained up in the toilet bowl, better yet, have a turd floating or sitting on the bottom in deep yellow liquid , just go to a neighborhood service station restroom for inspirational ideas. Mike

Spinnin the tires there.....looks like it can't get away fast enough...smile... Mike

Nice on the spider......good thing I'm not an acrof..., acroph....well whatever that word is......still looks creepy in a good way.. Mike

Thanks, Dan...for some reason it does deem to stress me up, bringing back vague memories of the movie perhaps? Mike

Xtaz, Thanks for the wire, super cool !!!......another mech modeling hero of mine.... Mike

Golly gee willikers Girl how do you find these gems? Thanks a bunch... Mike

Isn't that book done in V13....a different model format? Mike

WOW, great looking car........can U post a wireframe? it helps us who like mech modeling possiably learn new splinin tricks. Mike

Jim, Thanks for reporting this, I'd been scratching my head on this one for some time, that's as far as I took it those, scratching that is... Mike

How in the He.. did I miss this thread.....absolutly love the character/model.... nice to watch this develope... Mike

I thought the eye movement may have had the effect on me that the creator intended? It made me tense up, and feel great anticipation for what might happen next....great choice in my view.... Mike

Good to have you aboard Lori..........hope ypu get a chance to show us your handy work once started... Mike

Thanks so much for taking the time anf posting the info I asked about, boy I sure hope this can becomes a full length feature ..I can tell you I''d defineatly take my family to see it, at full price too (we rarely do that) and not just because it was done in AM , but because of the whole package, story, animation and all, this is what I'd call the whole enchilada. Mike

Sense you rendered on one machine may I ask if you used AA or multi pass x?, sky light rigs?.........and what would you estimate was your time to render one frame ,on average? Thanks a bunch Once again amazing work... Mike

I'll be watching and thanks for doing this ,these are very enjoyable to follow and I always learn something durring the process... Mike

That was absolutly Mind Blowing!!!!!!......this is an excellent piece of animation and story telling. such detail !!! Mike
