Hello All,

Here's something I did a couple months back. I did it on my iPhone using Autodesk Sketchbook mobile. Got the inspiration in South Jersey when we were having alot of rain.

...

Wow! Thanks for the positives, guys.

Of course, this was one where I posted and after an hour of looking at it...looking at it...looking at it...... 'Man, I can do better than that...'

Thanks for the reply, RH. The trick, I found on Carm 3d's YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/carm3d#p/u/58/QP3g0a_r1V4

You make 'x' amount of morphs of an eyelid closing. Make a Master...

Hello All,

I am doing my first character with Non-Linear morphs (Thanks Carm3d). The NL Morphs are solid. When I try to link the Master channel controller to a joystick in my facial controls, the...

IMO, Dell is junk. I have worked as an IT fixit guy for 'bout 11 years and when you get a 'new' Dell - the parts can be up to 3 years old. Also the Cro-mags they send out for onsite support?!? I had...

Hey Ponyboy, Have you got anyone to do this yet? Please let me know if either case...

Sent you a PM.

kjones: Sorry about getting back to you so late. Just getting back and noticed ur post. One thing that will make LW lag is showing Motion Paths. You can turn it off in the display settings on the...

Hahahaha! OK, I'm going to stop hijacking this thread ^_^...

Yep! We just might ^_^. Just remember me when you hit the Mega Millions, eh?

Yeah, but you have to find someone to pay that much money for it ^_^.

Nice signature, BTW - Where did you get it???

Hello All,

Hey RH,
So that's what it is? I posted on a whim and came in a day early? I made mine over a year ago from Tuts online. I'm sure your rig is probably gonna be way better than mine, seeing one of...

Hello all,

Here is a character that I made and rigged about a year ago.I have noticed the severe lack of free rigged models on the web, so I am freely distributing this for learning, personal...

Thanks William! I am beginning work on a demo reel and this is just what I need for my models. BTW, could you give me a hint (or 2) on the 'wipe' from this plugin's representation of the model mesh...

Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate it.

Dirk: I do belong to the open beta program, but I don't think I've been approved or whatnot, since I can't get to the forums (not like I've been really...

Thanks Dirk,

Yes, the upper bones I have setup as rotating @ the root (more pelvis-like). And the double Upper arm is to rotate the hand/arm more realistically (from Jonny Gorden, book2). And I...

Hello all,

I'm probably missing something (again). Here's the story:

-Added IKB to my rig and setup restraints on the rotation channels. (everything cool - nice deforms)
-I had the IK...

Hey Surrealist,

If you didn't know about the vids that Proton put together for joints (along with many others for previous rigging strategies), here's a link...
...

Here ya go. Good Luck on figuring yours out. I figure if you keep the chain in 1 plane, the tool will work w/o too much scattering of the joints. If this works, I plan to redo the arms as well...
...

Just a little PS and a screenshot.

Note: the Joints DID MOVE a little, but I'm happy with the result and it's workable ")

Found a work around... This is kinda the tail wagging the dog, but it worked.

- I remodeled the legs so that the new joint chain would run in a straight line on the Y axis (I'm using weight maps...
