Admin Rodney Posted February 26, 2009 Admin Share Posted February 26, 2009 I thought for my own purposes, it might be neat to deconstruct the Animated Christmas Greeting I did a few months ago and discuss what I learned and how I solved some of the problems and what I thought succeeded and what didn't. Would anybody (besides me) find that helpful or useful? Most definitely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitaker Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I really covered just about everything I wanted to cover with these tutorials. (I was really just wanting to pass on the few things about modeling in A:M that were gate-openers when I first started learning.) However, I thought for my own purposes, it might be neat to deconstruct the Animated Christmas Greeting I did a few months ago and discuss what I learned and how I solved some of the problems and what I thought succeeded and what didn't. Would anybody (besides me) find that helpful or useful? i would enjoy seeing how it was all done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyvern Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Would anybody (besides me) find that helpful or useful? Me too! I really liked that animation! I tried to do the same thing as I went along with my project. If I forget what I learned it's all there so even I can go back and refresh my memory. I also found that documenting your own work makes your brain see it in a different way. I often think of new things I wouldn't have without writing it down... "Holy cow? I did it like that? What was I thinking? It would have been easier to do it this way." -vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Cool! Thanks, everybody! That's kind of what I'm thinking, Vern. Getting a "hind sight" look in hopes of improving for the next work. I think I've gotten far enough away from it now. I'll start a new thread and begin at the beginning and work my way through.

heyvern Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I plan to document all my big AM projects from now on. Do a "blog" kind of thing. It's a fantastic way to have the history of it. It isn't that much extra work even if you don't render and upload something and just write down what you did or a new discovery. I've already gone back a few times to my OWN documentation because I wasn't sure how I did something. -vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Remembered this the other day and went searching for it. This was the first of the comic book page tutorials I did. This is about CP Weighting. I wanted to put it in with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks, Largento. Valuable information, well presented. Does this mean we'll see some more of these again in the future? I hope so, I have the whole collection so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 You are welcome, Myron ...and thanks! I don't know. Right now I'm pretty busy, but it's something I would like to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Great to see a new one of these, mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeSlice Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Great to see you doing these again Largento. It might be nice to include the topic somewhere on the page. This one appears to be about about control point weighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks, Gerry & Home! Don't want to misdirect anybody, this *isn't* a new one. This is actually the first one I ever did that was just on some random thread about weighting. I came across the original file and thought it would have more visibility here.

Admin Rodney Posted October 21, 2011 Admin Share Posted October 21, 2011 BUMP. (Because learning A:M and reading comic books at the same time is really cool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpendleton77 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I will surely be using these. I like the easy to follow comic book form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Glad to hear they're still valuable! These were fun to do and it was great to be able to pass along the little "lightbulb" concepts I'd learned that helped in my understanding how to use A:M.
