^ Yep that's pretty much the 4 poses I use. Notice that A and E are the same just opposite. Pose an extreme, pose an extreme and crawl through the scene that way. Well let me back up first I would block it all in. To do that I animate just the COM maybe with some poses (set to step curves) to get a sense of speed, timing…
Brad, I like your work and you obviously know your stuff as far as doing quality stuff and actually producing for a game, so take this as you will, but I have some problems with what you wrote. -- which I STILL find hard to believe First, this insinuation that I either lied or cheated is fairly annoying. And if you want to…
I think it's easy to forget how much of a game simply figuring out an interface can be for the novice gamer, add a bit of personality and you have a game like the sims. Think back to Sim City for though, it hasn't survived the test of time because behind the pretty visuals, the interesting interface, deep down there really…
That's a lot better than I was expecting =) If you don't mind I have a few points that I think might help: Reference I think you could stand to do a lot more research and reference gathering. - The ladder seems more like an after thought than something that would actually be used. You should "industrialize it"…

Snape says something like 'take it' so harry puts the 'thought' in a little container. Snape…

Well, I think Mr. Warner probably addressed all questions, concerns, and any doubts regarding the school itself. Just to chime in....I'm a graduate of the Dave School from the 2003 graduating class, and if memory serves me correct maybe the 3rd or 4th graduating class in had...so at that time...the school was new and since…
Hey guys, Lately I’ve been traveling around a lot and my PC is becoming really inconvenient to handle along. I’m a 3D animator só I’m wondering is there any laptop suitable for an animation process in Maya? Sure there are tons of laptops selling but I need something with a pretty large monitor (because I often use splitted…
I dislike unwrapping very much (especially hard surface stuff). It drains my energy while boring me. Waking up with the thought of having to do 8h of unwrapping would be very fatal for my motivation. My solution: never let that happen and break down the process so that the amount of unwrapping to do never piles up too…
