Excellent! Steve

Happy B day and thanks for all you do! Steve

Great job as always! Steve

silly me I was not building the pose first. I was trying to set up a relationship first. Anyway it worked like a charm. My throttle and brakes have the step effect I wanted. Thanks for the help Steve

Good job guys! Steve

Happy Birthday Will Steve

OK, I am just getting into the game with AO. I have been frustrated with it so far but see potential. Others can create a wonderful look of daylight with it. Here is a shot with basic settings. How do you get a better light for the front? I know someone told me to increase the ambiance of the object but that did not work. Steve

Is there a way to set up the pose slider to be segmented into 9 steps. I am making a locomotive throttle and there are 9 positions (idle plus 8 run). This applies to all the sliders in the new animation I am working on. Also as the slider hits run poisition 3 a three will need to be displayed on the throttle. Just need a little help to get things going Steve

Rodger Is that a Hudson class?

Holmes I did not want to hijack the fake AO thread, but wanted you to talk about the characters you showed in the shots. They are great! Is that a project you can talk about? Steve

thanks Matt Robert changed the format to uncompressed then used media encoder to complete it and upload to the web Steve Edit: Download first and play it in media player ElliottSpin.wmv

Happy Birthday Chris Steve

Thanks I have cleaned up the cheek by removing two unnecessary splines. I wanted to do a spin avi in 16 beta4 but as I create each frame I receive an error stating am could not connect to the avi stream? Any thoughts? Here is a shot of the revised character. Steve

Kat. Wonderful stuff! Steve

Here are the newest render with wireframe and the cuffs and edges of clothing Steve Thanks everyone! Edit: Why can't I get the the eye color to show?

Here is the new character Steve

What are the enviromental settings? Wonderful work Steve

Thanks Robert I will pose another walk this evening. I wanted an exaggerated walk by lifting the legs high, but i think a simplier walk is in order. I will re watch the tutorial this evening. Is there a way to place markers in the action? Steve

Here is a test. I know its large so Sorry about that. I having problem with the popping of the leg. Any help would be appreciated Steve walk.mov

I love the blog. Keeps me inspired!

Wonderful Nancy. The AO render does look great. If needed I have a 20 machine render farm that needs a project. I know time is a problem. Steve

Wonderful! Steve

Holmes Even though I lost a huge amount of items in the water damage the worst was the hard drive crash. I have put off buying anything for myself (computer wise) for three years. I have bought small items here and there but no major purchase for a while. I tried three times to rebuild the machine in which the the hard drive crashed but after every rebuild something else crashed. I have a money paying gig that needs to be completed in Jan and well it was time for a new machine. It is totally devoted to animations and graphics. Steve

That is way to cool! And way above me! Steve
