Mark she looks really good. What did you use on the skin? Steve

Excellent Mark! Steve

What would happen if Cupid had to take a sick day from work? Who would do his duties? Where would You find a replacement? These are the questions I will try to answer over the course of this project. I started in March of 2009 on a project for fun. I wanted to create a couple of characters in a city scene more or less walking the sidewalks. As I laid down the ideas of what I wanted, the direction changed and I came up with the idea of Cupid's Sick Day. In 09 I modeled a number of characters and a few props and was on my way. As some of you have followed the thread you know that 2010 was not a good year here at the Shelton's. I looked back over 2010 and not much was accomplished, one or two models and that is it. So with the start of 2011 and a new knee three times over, I decided that this year will see some actual sets and animation started. Here are some things i am working on Sets Set One - Cupid's Bedroom Set Two - Staffing Agency for Mythical Creatures And Super Heroes Set Three - City Park Set Four - Sidewalk Scene / City Block / Corner Coffee Shop Here are some characters ready for rigging or rigged. Characters Main - Super Hero - PM, Cindy, Stone, Cupid Secondary - Rock, Tony, Ted, Phil

Good Point didn't even think of that. Just wanted him to have a huge bed and over the top. Steve

Here is Cupid's Bed Steve

Thanks Nancy and Robert. Nancy I used a cookie cutter on that wing Robert got some clothes on Cupid as well Steve

Part of it was my fault in the placement. But some of the renders the dark sim materials were corrupted and AM would crash or sit and spin. Steve

Starting Cupid's Bedroom Steve

In V16rc1, I am having problems with Dark Sims material. Do I remember something about V16 and Darksims? Steve

Thanks Gene and Nino. I will have feathers again. just want to start the rigging process Steve

Paul Thanks for letting us know the situation. And as Rodney has stated our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have been a source of inspiration for me and many others. I always look forward to updates from you. Keep splining! Steve

Paul?

Here is Cupid with his body. working on Clothing.

Found a feather. Lots of work ahead of me but first finished the legs and rig him

I will feather these wings as well. That being said, I am having trouble getting the material to look like feathers. Is there a tutorial floating out there on how to make feathers. I pulled up the tech reference and found one but it did not turn out. Steve

Thanks guys. Reworked wings before I put feathers on the wings. Steve

Have a great day! Thanks for all you do here! You too, Lazio, Happy Birthday Steve
