Hey just popping in to say don't get scared and go back to basics, you will ofc make more mistakes with complex animation, but you should absolutely push yourself with difficult human animation. (Not saying it isn't useful to go and do basic tests sometimes but generally always make animation you find difficult and…
Can't help you with anything Maya related, sorry, man. I was trained in 3DSMax myself. However, I will say that if you're still having this much trouble figuring out how to work with curves and other areas of animating in Maya, you should spend more time doing simple anims while you better understand the program, IMO. When…
Er, sorry...I find that very offensive. What do you think I've been doing JimeeB? That's not very polite. I'm fairly sure I've mentioned that I have read the entire Animators Survival Kit twice. You'd think over months that aspiring animator would read the animation principals right? I, of course, have over 25 bookmarks,…

There is in the spear-holding hand. I tried to make it minimal so it would look less "Animated" thanks : ) Lock the legs so that more time is spent on them? Do you mean the legs at contact or the passing position?
Thanks, Mezz! : ) Great to recieve a reply like that. Very heartening. Indeed, Rich Williamns work is just awesome. Good luck to you too : D Edit : I've found a great use for Windows 7 Sticky Notes!
