Hello Our group is looking for a 3D animator for our project Rhune. (Our thread) We need some simple animations : walk, run and idle. Preferably done in the next two weeks as we have a deadline soon. Already rigged and skinned and any issues can be solved quickly by our rigger. This is just a university project and will…

Hi all I have access to a mid-range HDTV which I think can go up to 720p. I was wondering if there is any non-DVD calibration tutorials or tools around? I can easily hook up the TV to a computer using the VGA input hence I am looking for a simple step by step website or PDF that guides through the button tweaking. The…
I have a character I unwrapped into 2 meshes: symmetrical and unique pieces. Now, I've rigged and skinned it for the most part and began playing around with poses (and hopefully later an idle animation). But it's a single mesh now and when I apply the textures, it's a no go with them unaligned and overlapping. How do I get…

I did, it's unclear. I even diffed the files in notepad++ with point groups on/off and the file generated identical, it's very cryptic. Some are obvious, this is what I've deduced. Groups: -On separate objects in the scene -Off everything combined into one object Point groups: -On no idea? -Off no idea? Materials: -On mat…
Henlo frends, Just a blockout idea, idk. Mad lad lab doc. First time in a while that I let myself loose in my mind and just portray whatever is in there and wants to come out in the form of a sculptor. Might continue with the doc's body better, who knows not me :D The first thing I had was the experimented head and then…
If you render a movie out of your application say an avi, you can select enough frames within the avi on After Effects to export out an animation gif, if you need the bg transparent I'd render out tiffs and import those into, after effects or another application and do things that way. Idles and turn around well then your…
