CG Society hosted an Online Event covering the upcoming XSI 7 release by Softimage earlier today and the Quicktime video is available for download. Check it out if you are an XSI user or just curious about the latest from Softimage. Further info and videos are being released at the Softimage website regularly, including…
It is indeed an improvement @Donkey_Kong. Here is how I would approach this next: 1. Pick 1 shot that you will use to prove out the whole process 2. Add a placeholder character as reference for scale. You can use metahuman to get something close. 3. Use it to better understand if you got the proportions right. For that you…
Thanks again everyone! I guess you're an alright bunch of whinos after all ;) bilbana: Thanks. The cool thing about quicktime is that you can step through movies frame-by-frame, which is good for scrutinizing things like this. Series you say? Did I mention I happily accept cold hard cash?
Oh man, I saw you reel a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with them age of empire animations. Really sweet ass critters in there, I couldn't stop watching all the animal animations you got posted up. You should think about converting all your quickTimes to gifs! Inspiring stuff!
Well, I'm not sure exactly what my schedule will be like over the next few month, but take a look at my portfolio site and tell me what you think. Oh, and make sure you have the latest Quicktime. My 3DS Max doesn't seem to like the Divx codec right now. http://www.cerzia.net

Also, for colorbanding there is a little trick. sometimes it works, depends on your screen really, though. Add some fine grain to your footage, it breaks the…
I haven't used it yet, but looking at the documentation one workflow looks like you sketch out your animation on a bitmap layer(s). Then go back and trace it all on vector layer(s), and finally export the vector layers as an animation. Though you could forgo that and export a bitmap based PNG sequence or Quicktime movie…
[ QUOTE ] Took about 10 tries, but was finaly able to get the link for the video and close out the page before it crashed Opera. Wonder why it hates my browser so much...? :-/ [/ QUOTE ] quicktime crashed countless times for me too. boo. That lt. Graves guy looks like something out of metal gear cool stuff.
I like videolan. I've used it for a long time now because it plays the .mov files that Quicktime Player can't play, and the .wmv files that Windows Media Player can't play. It also plays files that's aren't complete, and of course DVD's. And switching to fullscreen and back is easy. I better update soon, and before that…
