OMG!!!! ITS SKIN EWWWWWWW!!!!!! 0_^

i can help some i've been experimenting with lighting techniqes to use for some future projects.

Remember to listen to music while you work.

this is on a personal level but...that is a big nose....but the whole thing (other than the nose) is awsem!!!! but i like the other head more, what age were you going for again?

longer mane(is that the right word), other than that great job!

beware of rendering 00:00:00 frames!!!!! some times they don't render!!!! it happend to me when i had A:M v11.1

i perfer you to www.getpaint.net and just open it with paint.net, you can also add effect to is while your at it, it keeps transperancy information too.

lol, me i find my self improving, then one day i take alook at other peoples work on the internet, then think about mine and then i say...."you know what...i coulda done better on that....hmmm i was to lazy on that one....omg...that one is so ugly!!! omg...i suck!!!Thats it i'm going to fix this right now!!!" then i improve more, then the cycle gose again. the same gose for my drawing skills, i impove all the time on something, and its always after seeing some one elses work. in fact i recently started shading my drawings, they look so much better now. so don't let other peoples work get you down just think to your self "i suck and i gotta fix this!!!", it works for me anyway. and also i agree with t-dogg(witch should soon meet my freind who will have A:M soon whos screen name is C-DAWG), i always listen to music when i work, but mostly music with out lyrics, i find lyrics distracting for me. so all said i listen to orchestral music. heres a site i sugest going to Bluelaguna cheak out the "Final Fantasy", "Chrono Cross", and "Shadow Of The Collosus" songs. all you need to do is get an account add the songs you like to you playlist and play then while your working.

the love of messing ith things and see your results i do that all the time an always find something cool.

I WANT V13 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.< why must i be so broke!!!!!! I'M STARTING A PETITION SO THAT ALL KIDS SHOULD GET MORE(or even get) ALLOWENCE!!!!!!!!!!!1

yeah when i first got A:M i couldn't render the first frame as a still untill i updated to v12

but be warned long ago i had to render 2 frames due to the fact that in v 11 frame 00:00:00 would not render an image.

you could set it on a path if that helps thats what i do.

actualy sometimes you don't have to do that, you could use the time line to and use this to have the particles go transparent at what ever frame(or point in time after emitting) you want! ....i hope that made sense baisicly at frame 00:00:00 it starts(you can also change its color during this time) then at frame 00:00:20 you set the transeparency to maybe 20% then at frame 00:00:30 you set it to 100%.

Much improvment he has shown...

hey newton phycis can be used for this, that way you only have to animate one of them and the rest move with the first one.

and the cool thing is they have other tutorals that can be usefull but arn't done wiht A:M. here one i though was interesting. http://www.computerarts.co.uk/tutorials/3d...wire_technique/

i found this while looking for tips on animation aumong other things. http://www.computerarts.co.uk/tutorials/3d..._complex_joints

ol i'm hoping your not one of those people who think penguins are gonna take over the world...were do people get that from anyway. nice model btw

hey i'll post my loon design soon, pre pare for SKATER LOON!!!!

what you could do is apply a bummap have the areas where the holes are supposed to be go inward, then apply the transparency map a little smaller than the bump map and apply that.

cool i'd like to get in on it!

looks just like him now all you need are bump maps for the wrinkles

first make somthing like a spere, and select all the control points. and untitled group will come up name it what ever you like. [attachmentid=19875] goto surface in the properties ad click the "not set" word right acros from reflectivity. [attachmentid=19876] then put it in the choreography, make shure you put multiples of them so you can tell its reflecting. then just render. [attachmentid=19878] here i'll post the project file [attachmentid=19879] btw, i had nothing better to do at the moment so i thought i'd just be descriptive reflect.zip

yoda is an inspiration to all little people. but i like the younger yoda he actualy has alittle white hair, he looks better with the white hair.
