    streching a model

    I presume you don't just mean scaling the whole character larger.

    One way is to go into Bones mode where you can use the scale manipulator to scale bones. If you hold the CTRL key, the bone's CPS (and its child bones and their CPs) will scale with it.

    Since all the children scale too, it is often useful to un-child portions that you don't want to scale and re-parent them afterward. For example, you might un-child the neck and head if you only wanted the spine to be longer. The proportions of child segments can become very strange if their bone is not exactly parallel to the bone being scaled.

    This process can work well if you have a version of your character that is unrigged, with just geometry bones in it, that you can rig after you are done stretching.

    Because of the complex parenting in rigs, this is VERY unlikely to be simple or satisfactory if you try this on a rigged character.

    This would be a great problem to bring to Live Answer Time.

    This was uber useful! Thanks again, Robcat!

    Reworking models

    One of the things I love doing in AM is taking a model I've used for a while and changing it around as the script calls. In this pic, Super Mega Fox gets a bit hulked out, for an upcoming scene. The hard part is redoing so many smart skins. Bulking her up required many more splines and naturally, the old smart skins wouldn't work with that, so I'll be working on this for a bit. Even more, this is only phase one of the muscle enlargement. Phase three should be hilarious, since I was thinking along the lines of Tex Avery, when it comes to overdoing things. :-)

    Animation Cels

    The only thing I found similar to that is a drawing on Ebay - WONDERFUL VAN CAMP's PORK & BEANS ORIGINAL ANIMATION PRODUCTION CEL DRAWING | eBay  Cels are worth more than the drawing but then, an asking price is not always what it's worth. Still, if I were going to auction it, I'd start at the 60 dollar range. I also searched for your Pink Panther cel. I found a half hour long combo featuring the dogs in the series. Couldn't find that particular one!

    Chuck, Have you found which cartoon yours is from?

    I dimly remember the dog in mine but I haven't done a PP survey to find a title.

    Yes, this was from the 1966 episode titled Duel Personality. Your cel look very familiar. I'll have a go at tracking down which episode it's from and let you know if I find out anything.

    Yeah, that's an original Friz Freleng alright. I see them selling at a very wide price range at the moment, the high end being around 900 dollars. Here's the Chuck Jones, Tom And Jerry cel I sold a few weeks ago Image 1 - Tom & Jerry Chuck Jones Duel Personality With COA 1966 Original Production Cel
