didn't know exactly what kind of wood pile or wooden table you were looking for, but I thought that I would throw in my 2 cents. I was told to get active in these kinds of threads, it will help me learn more. Anyways, here is the image, nothing much, but it is a start for me.

First, it looks like it is comming along good. The vest looks good so far, I am not to familiar with half life, but is the suit supposed to be rigged on the sleeves, and square around the neck? If so, I think it is good, but I just thought I would ask.

Man I just watched the footage from inside the truck. Good as always. So did you ever figure out wich way, and how much the truck actually spun. Well, keep it up.

First, I would like to say that the car looks great. However I would have to agree with Reynolds on the points he touched on. In addition, when looking at the attachment from Reynolds, if you look at the fender, before the door, there is also another dent there, above the tim. Again, great work, and I like to see references of cars, because ever since I got this program I have been wanting to make my car. Hope to see the final project.

Like I said in the WIP, this is great. I like how you made more light on the guy reading, where we can actually see the book. Open or not, the image is great. I really like the book shelfs, though I am a little confused on the candles, even though they add to the environment, it doesn't see like it does much for relaxing in an outdoor environment. But again, great work.

Man, thats a great image. I really like seeing the guy sitting and reading. I would trip if I walked into a book store and it looked like that. I am sure something like that would make one hell of a business. Animation land or not, I would spend alot of time in there. Great work.

And you said you wouldn't jump out of a perfectly good airplane!
See why I always wanted to be suited up, those things could go at any minute. 
Nah just kidding, when I was deployed, first and second time, we always had problems because of the sand, and if it wasn't the sand, the tarmak was too hot for the planes to land and take off, blowing the tires out and such. Any who, wish you the best, and get those techs to work on that plane, cant have someone as involved as you in a bad plane.

Ed, I really like the ship. But for some reason it looks to me, like some one could pull it apart at the middle. Almost like a toy. But not to discourage you, the model is great. I really like how you modified it from the original, shows alot of imagination and creativity. Great work

Hearing storys of the C-130, make me think of Fort Bragg. I think that the funniest thing I have ever seen was when we were walking to the ramp to load the plane. Of course they already had the engines fired, and the hot stink air was blowing hard on us as always. But one guy, i can't remember his name, wasn't paying attention, and got his reserve handle caught on the back of another paratroopers shoot. It was like something off of Americas funniest videos, cause his reserve deployed, and the back blast of the props inflated it and drug him almost all the way back to the rigging shed. Of course our jump was delayed for a few minutes to make sure he was okay, but it was funny as hell. Well, cant wait to see some more animation of your plane.
There was also the case when our plane was about to take off, and a bird flew right into the engine, but that was on a C-17.

I don't know what was going on with Keekat, but he decided that he wanted to be a "Ham" in this picture, I told him to keep it simple, but he decided against me.

I made this one to short, I will make a new one to be 5 seconds or maybe shorter. But to enphasize the struggle. Anyways, here is the exercise.

Well, when you first do the constraint, make sure the it is the forearm that you constrain first.
-Right click on the forearm, and select new constraint, kinematic.
-after that, click the button by the maganete key "compensate" button.
-then you can use the picker to click the door nob bone. or, in the properties menu, click target, and select knob.
-After that, you have to constrain the hand. To do this, you have to right click on the hand, pick new constraint Orient Like, then click the same button at the top, "compensate button",
-then use either method to select the door knob.
You shouldn't have a problem after that. Were you using Kinematic constraint with the hand, and not constraining the forearm? If you were, that was your problem. I did the same thing. Hope that helps

Rodney, I may have spoken wrong for the AF as a whole, but the only knowledge I have of the planes if from Fort Bragg. When I got there, we were always on the C-130, and C-141, but before I could turn around we were all on C-17. I don't know how the rest of the AF does it, but at Bragg, C-17 just took over, it seemed like over night. Still we used C-17 when we had a mass combat jump, simulated combat. But when we deployed, they took most of the equipment on the 5's and 17's. Hell, I guess it doesn't really matter, all the planes are great, and it has been a while since I have even thought about the planes we used to jump from.
Mike, you know what I think would be the greatest animation, if you could make the your C-130 flying over a drop zone, and paratroopers jumping out. Anyways, enough of me bugging you guys, so take care, and keep up the good work. Have to go do more exercises. Peace out

From where I sit the C130 as a transport Aircraft still is the workhorse of the U.S. Air Force.
Rodney,
The C-103 is the real deal, and I know that you like it alot, but most of the work load is now going to the C-17, and starting to go to the C-5. The main reason is because the C-17 can hold either more PAX, or cargo. In addition, the C-17 still has room for PAX while it is loaded with 3 vehicles, and a couple of CONEX's. The C-5 can hold a C-17, with the wings off, in the cargo bay, still having room for PAX on the upper deck of the plane. All in all, the designers of these aircrafts are master minds, and the Air Force is very resource full with these aircrafts. Sorry for getting off the subject, but just wanted to comment on the aircrafts.

I have to agree that the car does look great. However, I have to agree with "Slipin Lizard" when he said to add some detail.
-In addition, looking at the picture on the left, the front bumper seems to disappear into the tire.
-The bottom of the grill, I noticed is a little twisted, kind of like it is made out of a cotton rope or something. Just something to think about.
-I also noticed a little red on the back of the car, where the spoiler is, don't know what that is, but a picture with more light on it would help alot to determine how smooth your model is.
-The other thing I notices is that the quarter panel, in the second picture, gets a little out of shape towards the bottom of the car.
-I also think that you should think about adding some tint to the window, and either change the color of the interior, or outline the seats with black, to give it more of a realistic feel.
All in all, the car looks great, and a lot better than what I could produce. My comments are only what I feel, I am not trying to dog you, only to help you.
Thanks

Looks good to me.
However the picture on the left lookes like the bag is out of focus, or at least the side of it. But looks better than I could do..
Good job

King Kong's play day!
He looked pretty happy holding the plane, almost like he was a nice kind and gently giant ape. That is cool though, you made kong your own in that one. Props.

well, i have to agree that is a wild grip. looks a little dull. being a knife lover, I think the thing should like it could cut through a diamond. but it looks great though.

I would never jump out of a plane, unless my like depended upon it,
Take good care,
Michael
Mike, sometimes when I was sitting in the planes, it felt like my life was in danger, I mean some of those pilots scared the crap out of me. Besides, most of the planes we were on always had some kind of trouble after we took off, so even if I was scared to jump, better to get out before it goes down. Anyways, I am ready to see the c-130 in action. Maybe you could use the current model you have and turn it into a c-130 gunship. Man those things are awsome.

It reminds me of Halo, but I guess all the game programmers know everything about every game. Anyways, it is looking good. Didn't look at the larger picture, but from the smaller picture it looks good. I don't know i if I would ware it into combat, think I would suffocate. It looks like it was built for a very slim person. But it is a great model.
