I know my situation is a little different than most, but I first got an Associates degree in Electronics, at the community college. That was paid for by inheritance money that I had received from my grandmother. I think around $10k total was spent. It was invested, and my aunt was in control of it, so I don't know the…
Thanks guys, yeah Slipsius got it. I know it doesn't bounce to a settled stop but that will be later. When you say mid bounce Slipsius do you mean in every bounce? There's a weird bit about 7 secs in but I'm not sure what happened since I just cycled 20 or so frames for 10 secs in Maya, so technically it should all be…
It's looking nice, man, but it would be good if you could keep this character in one single thread. People are gonna miss out on some info like what your inspiration came from and such. As for the modeling I think it's looking good. The material on the other hand is looking flat. You should look into the textures'…
I'm not a fan of odd shaped thumbnails. I prefer to get a better idea of what I'm about to click on. Main window smaller than images, forces scrollbar. Not a big deal here, but too easy a fix to leave in. Army Bag and Cannon stand out as weakest pieces, in the way that I remember those two because of that, and not your…
I've said it before, but I'll say it again Riddler working the police to hunt down Batman Scarface as the new head of the mob, to show how far they've fallen that they'll listen to an accountant with a puppet Bane as the head of the russian mob, he's addicted to Scarecrow's Venom, doesn't make him stronger but lets him…
They made the batman from Red Son? Oh crap I've got some hunting to do! Randy Bowen has done some nice stuff over the years, some pretty crappy stuff too but I bet that was just to pay the bills and keep the fans from chewing him a new one. The guys a machine when it comes to cranking these out. Which could be why he quit…
Considering I have to pay bills, eat, and maintain a home...there's still so many Gamecube games I haven't played and time I haven't found to play them. The prices now are a little too much for me. I'll most likely buy the Revolution after selling my Gamecube on ebay. Being able to play my GC games is a plus. Not to…
If you are required to make one to graduate, you might as well make it good enough to actually use in your job hunt. A lot of VFX houses want reels instead of galleries. For environments, I suggest doing fly through renders with breakdowns and a couple prop turntables if you can fit them in. I had to make one to graduate…
Yea maya doesn't have a canned ready to go rig like Max has Biped and CAT. You should hunt around there should be some ready made rigs that can be imported into maya floating around somewhere. Check CreativeCrash's character rig section, AnimationBuffet maybe even the 11secondClub's resources page, might have something…
thanks for the kind words East. i'm surprised i can inspire anybody on these boards yeh. i believe that all one needs is some great determination, and the amazing crits u can get on these boards, and they'll improve. i'm glad my own 'philosophy' is working on myself ! alright, just a little update. had a little less…
