  1. I guess its work-method and implementation per specific 3D-program-developer.

     

    It seems unlogic it being prevented by patent-law, however there are countries that claim the moon and sell people pieces of moon, those people have yet to find out their being ridicilous, both buyers and sellers and those that approve.

  2. I had similar problems, if I remember it right:

     

    I believe a description is, using too many maps and map-types on the same part of the model.

    It could also have been a particular map like displacement set too high and mapped on a fine a detailed and sharp-edge of the model.

     

    Hope this helps...

    [EDIT] I also remembered alot of multipasses didn't 'make it go away' :)

  3. Niels... my general conclusion is that if I could animate like that I'd quit my day job!!!

     

    I can :)

     

    If I could nitpick it would be that I don't fully follow the story.

    In the larger context it might make more sense.

     

    I said it after a message he sent and asked me.

    ps.

    I also saw the pieces he placed on youtube(yourtube?).com

  4. The hips are usually wider than the shoulder-measurement.

    The bottom is part of the leg-flow, a girl has wider and fuller bum-cheeks than a male.

    The bottom of a female is also higher than a male one, not because of the longer legs but the total bottom in height.

    [EDIT] I prefer clips from musicstations over anatomy-books, those books usally don't show let's say a 'Beyonce Knowles', 'Josh Stone' or 'Marisa Tomei'-alike.

  5. I like to keep the habit of a certain filenaming concept:

    The first save of a model is Modelv1_1.mdl

    For backup saving during creationtime I use the _1-part,

    when the model changes while or after modeling I set the v1-part.

    Is the model done, I save it to Model.mdl, this make the Model.mdl the same as the last ModelvX_X.mdl

    When I start rigging, I first save the model as Model_B_v1_1.mdl, were B stand for bones.

    Is the rig done, I save it again as Model.mdl, again the last Model_B is the same as the current Model_B_vX_X.mdl file.

    The same principle with texturing, _T.

     

    In some cases depending on the stage, r1 is added to the filename, were r stands for revision.

     

    Niels.

     

     

    ps.

    Leo73 has a good dir-structure, I would add a dir called, finished models or work models.

     

    [EDIT] I also have a dir called originals in the Model-dir, there I put high-resolution originals, e.g. paint-, photoshop- or gimpfiles.

  6. The placement of ControlPoints should make the connected spline have a regular flow, when there's a crossroad at a middle CP between 2 splines do mind keeping the flow, with organic modelling, a spline followthrough should take every crossroad straight ahead, e.g. NOT like 2 cars that both turn left on a crossroad.

     

    Places where the density of CPs on a spline is close and next to eachother, beware that they still need to line-up like an on-going flow, like unconnected points in space that are placed in an arc-like-shape which will make them look already as if they were connected.

  7. one pose-slider A for left wing, up, neutral and down.

    one pose-slider B for right wing, up, neutral and down.

    one pose-slider C 'clench' wing using A and B.

     

    A,B and C can be animated seperatly.

     

    I personally think animating with NULLs 'steering' the wings would be a better more free-er approach.

  8. I agree, if it takes too long for me to make time for decent facial-expressions, I will use smartskin to make him smile and express 'welcome/tadaa/enjoy' :)

     

    The webpage backup I still have to make/generate... for starters it will be my online-contact-find-page(I don't even have telephone...) and a place where I can add stuff.

     

    I am testing a program now to (eventually) bake a flashstyle-site.

    ps.

    The 'sentence' CONTACT-MUSIC-ANIMATION-OTHER didn't felt right (psychology).
