Re: Phatty's Animation Thread
Cool, nice to see you back into it and kicking off with the basics! It looks like its helped quite a bit. NICE! I really like it. It's harder than it seems isn't it heh.

Re: Phatty's Animation Thread
Not too shabby, off to a good start =) Good to see you posting! A few things: .MOV: If you have a little slice of the web some place (dropbox!) post .mov files instead of viemo or youtube. It will allow you (and other people) to scrub frame by frame back and forth and really dig into the animation. .mov its awesome!… -

Re: Phatty's Animation Thread
That looks a lot better keep it up! You're learning two things at once, how to animate (12 principles of animation really 10.5) and the technical side 3dsmax/biped, thats a lot to soak up and you're doing good.
