  1. The Anzovin videos are simply -- A must! The bundles they offer are reasonably priced and are packed with tons of information; its like taking a master class in your home.

     

    These CD's are well thought out, and offer many tips and tricks (and in some cases really elegant solutions) for many newbies (like me) to follow along.

     

    I would not hesitate for a minute in recommending them.

  2. 4. I added some extra shadowing as Monk hits the wall. This helps anchor him in space a little better.

     

    5. I blended a small bit of a discarded SimCloth simulation into the main cloak choreography. This causes the cloak to billow upwards at the moment of impact, which helps keep Ebon's leg visible longer, and also helps "sell" the kick's power.

     

     

    These two tweaks add a HUGE difference. The SimCloth blending reveals the kick for, I guess 2 frames (?), but now that we can see it clearly... Woah!

     

    The extra shadowing for Monk is a nice touch.

     

    If the first section -- Monk grabbing her hand -- is sped up without using a close-up of his wrist lock, the scene might go by too quickly. Maybe a few frames, though I'm not sure.

  3. Nice to see the simcloth cape cell shaded (say that 5 times fast). When you were doing the cloth simulations on Friday, it looked like it was "almost" there, but now, with the cel shading, I really feel her kick.

     

    The eye movement, camera work all sell the 'force' of the kick -- she has the reflexes of a meta-human.

     

    I can tell you had a busy weekend...Happy New Year.

    :D

  4. Hey folks,

     

    I had a great time -- very productive and inspirational. It was a pleasure to meet you all. Mike, thank you for being a gracious host; your answers, advice, and info not only encourage, but, creatively energize me. For everyone that contributed to this meeting -- thank you. This was everything I'd hoped for. Joe, as aways your work speaks for itself. Simply brilliant. For all that couldn't make it, I hope you'll think about it; the support and critique are what makes this software, forum, and community the success that it is. :D
