I was mainly looking at net render. I will upload corrected render in a few minutes

It has been too long since I played with after effects. Converted the pngs to mov and here is the first run of rendering with netrender 16 Steve

Rendering my first walk cycle of 8 seconds with net render in vga resolution. It has hair and sss. Rendering on a quad core I7 960 3.2 with 12 gigs of Ram. So far each frame is rendering at 46 seconds. Working like a charm. Steve

John Good point! here is the start of the clothes. Borrowed boots from previous project and put some khaki shorts on. This character is a rework from my third character created in AM. I had a huge number of splines. Cleaned it up substantially!! Steve

I like this one John

Thought I would have several background / generic characters walking down the street

Ok last post until I get other things completed. I took down transperancy and added one klieg light. No more smudges. Steve

Thanks Myron Here is a shot with cupid showing he is sick. But notice using fastao with 5 point patches and transperancy is causing an issue Will look at the settings. AO

Thanks everyone. They are finally coming alive! I used FastAO on the render and I noticed some issues with transperency. Is this a problem that anyone else has noted? Steve

It has been awhile since I posted anything. Mainly I have been on the road and away from the computer. Here is a shot of the group of characters that I have received the body rig, thanks to Mark. Steve

Jeff This is great stuff! Steve

Nicely done! Steve

I restarted am and the skin tones moved back to red. I had to go out of town for work for a few days. Maybe to slow at updating this section. Steve

Really looks great, Jeff! Steve You will have to show how you decaled the suit

Happy Birthday!

just started to play with the hair, but even with 100 density and sss and Fast AO was 2:24 a frame at 720p. Not to bad Steve

I know Jeff, it was like an alien, now it looks more human. Anyway got to run and take care of some computer networks. Won't have a chance to get to the hair until prpobably tomorrow. Steve

Well said David. It documents from the start to the finish. Steve

Hi Chris Working on the hair right now. It is going to be a full head of hair using Hair rather than a cap. Corrected the sock area, reworked the chin and added the ears. On to the mouth and the clean up. hair should be ready tomorrow. Steve

Thanks John and Jeff. Will look at both of those issues. Steve

Thanks everyone! Mark I agree and had not caught this. I will make changes to the chest. Steve Edit Changed chest and open the cheek area as well

Got some shorts on him and this weekend will have a chance to finish him out. Steve

Thought I would add a child in the mix of everything Steve

Very nice detail

Hi Jeff, good to see you back. Looks like a good foundation! Steve
