Looks good Steve. It is coming along nicely! Steve

Mark your rig is awesome!! David can't wait to see the changes. Looking forward to rigging Cupid's Sick characters. I hope I don't drive you guys nuts over the next few months. Steve

I love the aerial shot. It really shows the work of your project. Remind me again of what type of redraw time on a project like this. What I mean can you move around in the chor effectively once you have combined all the action objects? Once again incredible work Steve

Gene, good job nice lighting Steve

Jason Wow! I took a look at your website and you are master of alot of things as well. Nice looking website by the way. I think some of the stuff you have created I would be interested in a tutorial or two. Nice job!! Steve

Thanks Robert. I have the Heaven Can Wait. Ilike the looks of the second one. Steve ssshelton@tulsacoxmail.com

Steve Email me again as I did not get your email Steve

Thanks Steve!! The eyes are driving me nuts as well. I just threw color so I could see the eyes. Will correct that as none of the settings are complete. I have deleted the wings and started over. Looked at some mythology books and internet research and decided instead of angel wings I will make cupids smaller still with feathers but more round. Should finish tonight and send an update at that time with corrected eyes as well. Steve

I added cupids laurel headband. I used a photo of a gold leaf and then used a bump to give it depth but how do you guys get the decals to give a sparkle? Steve Edit Added another shot of the leaf and imported it as image type as spec?

Very nice. Lots of fun here!! Steve

Thanks Steve! Here is a front shot as I have doctored the wings a little. I will finish the hair and the top feathers on the wings later today. Steve

Here is a little pose. I pulled the lenghth of the wings and turned them toward the back more. Steve

Figured out the sequence and just wanted to post a quick update on cupid. Got a lot of work to do. Steve

You can turn in out with high quality!! Steve

I grabbed the crow and was wondering how the large feathers are plaecd on the model. Are they cookie cut decal? How are they applied? Steve

Thanks Gene. good tutorial! I got the basic shape and muscle completed. It is more of the creation of the feathers and how they are applied in AM. I was looking at crow from SO and understand the small feathers on the wing but is is the larger feathers and the way in which the image of a feather was used. Steve

Help! I am having trouble grasping feathers for cupids wings. I have the basic structure of the wings and now want to start laying in the where the feathers need to go but not sure where to start Steve

Thanks Steve this will be a big help to me. Steve

Excellent Jeff!

Good job Gene! What will he be doing? Steve

Great job! Steve

I tried it both ways but I like the sss alone and apply cleanup. Steve

Steve I was using the skin shader and had changed the blood without any problems. Steve

Steve Plans are to do a short of about 5-7 minutes. It will have three sets, - office, park, and street scene. It will be based on cupid's efforts to get two people together and mixed in with a bumbling super hero. So far I started in late March and want to have all the models done by the end of summer. (not going to make that date) I have voice talent already and have music as well. I just got my nephew a copy of AM in hopes he can help (going to School of Visual Arts). I was using the skin shader but pulled it out to see SSS by itself. Steve

Less than 2 minutes. If I remember it 1:45 to render her at this level Steve Edit: This one took 2:15
