Well, this just about equates to the bestest damn thing for me, ever
So here goes my wip animation reel, il try to keep it so that each page isnt too much of a bandwidth whore.

1st up are my brilliant failings in Maya so far

This was my 1st foray into Maya after wrestling with Max for not long enough

On another note going to try smaller qts as they seem to lag like hell, and I know for a fact it aint my shiny new vista's fault (total page memory;<1meg)

Flynny

Brilliant so I know it works, Cheers Adam!

Im just gonna let this crap speak for its self now, even if every1 is fairly mute il still keep at it, if only for a personal referenace thingy thats online.

Heres something I've wanted to be able to do for a long time and ive figured it out in Maya now. A sort of progression of the animation, just like how you can show a wip to the final but animated

Blocking- spent a whole day because I didnt know how to model in Maya, or constraints, or to save often ;p

Heres the next days progress, getting to grips with Maya's curve editor and dopesheet, liking them alot but I'm pining for an XSI overhaul on the dopesheet atleast ;p

A few hours later, getting really really happy with the lower half now, Going to pummel the upper half until it bleeds!

Japhir

looks great! isn't there a way to make the movies loop? because it's kindof annoying to have to click the play button every second . keep it up!

Flynny

Yeah Japhir I've already commented on that looks like Adam will be removing quicktime altogether I think.

Anyways todays update getting happier with it, just need to kick the shit out the shotty an bring it back a little and I think itl almost be ready for the reel! (heh)

On another note ive buggered up on the hierechy between moom and the gun so I cant have 2 mooms and 2 guns, lol. Ah well, its all a learning curve

Flynny

Ok update Calling it pretty much done now, gained all I could out of it I think, been a happy experiance!
