im going to use him in an animation so im going to need him to talk, but I wont do all the morphs until the end -if there is any time left in this challenge......

yeah I gave him the chop, so he is now officially feetless and can go on disability grant, but i was quite sad to see them off- they were the nicest looking feet iv done so far, oh well thats Murphy's law

haha glad to see im not the only one- his hair looked like some kind of funky mushroom type growth which isnt very sly like- well not at this stage of his life anyway..... :-)

wasnt it you that during the last challenge came across a problem in rigging where your character contorted out of shape?? I came across a tutorial the other day that deals with that issue- I can give you the url, unless of course you figured it out....

For hair, try taking a look at the techniques used in the 'Full tilt' short at the menithings website: http://www.menithings.com/manual/Til...php?action=how

Hey Ave,

yeah it was me that had the problem with the skeleton, the riggin went well but when i opened up a saved scene, the model was all over the place. I thought sum1 planted a bomb in there over night, lol i opened up the scene and my characters bodyparts were completed mashed and all over the place. hehe

i did manage to sort the problem but I 4got how i fixed it now lol think it was fallenswordsman who helped me out.

anyway the lecturer dealt with it on one of the tutorials on Ikboost at http://ikboost.com/?cat=1

really really really good if you want to learn to rig and animate using ikboost-


hey mark thanks for the link- thats exactly what i was looking for- its going to help a lot!!

Certainly is looking good from the model's perspective (not in the "Hey I find this guy attractive" perspective!)

I think you've done extraordinarily well considering the amount of time you've had - best of luck with the final push

Looking good.

Like the texturing and old fashioned style glasses.

Are you texturing the shorts? Make them a bit browny and old looking I think would look good. A few stains or something.

A bit of both. Just some random stains that no one will ever know what they are or would ever want to know.

hahahahahaha u dudes are not well!!

I textured his shorts, that old brown cloth was a good idea, its looking sweet- altho no weird stains this time- he must have had his colostomy bag plugged in

well im almost finished, got a few more details to put in, gotta do the background still, and a few more textures...... then its over the top into no mans land!!! 2 days left!!!!!!!!!!
