Cool rig....and here I am still stuck with my trusty 5 year old CRT. Oh well, it still works I suppose even if it generates huge amounts of heat and is built like a brick. :headbang:

This wasn't about getting that third page was it

[davie563]

lol, for the last 4 yrs i had been using a 17'' CRT, i loved it, but i couldnt pass up the deal on this 1.

Hi, i just bought Norton Internet Security, and when it is enabled in the system tray i cant open lightwave 8, it just freezes, but when i de-activate it it loads perfect and with no probs :headbang:

I think i might have selected or been in a bit of a rush when i opened it the 1st time after the instilation of norton and i feel i have put a block on it, how do i get into the setting and make modeller and layout free to open.

Cheers :beer:

I knew you'd have to post a pic of your set up as soon as I saw that Fraser had.

:bow:

[davie563]

Yo, Fraser, the whole Nortons thing is what was wrong with my lightwave, remember!?

Open Nortons and under Status & Settings click Personal Firewall then click on Configure. Then click on the Programs tab. Then scroll down and change the Internet access to Permit All. Remember to do it to all the Lightwave programs though (Lightwave, Modeler and Hub).

I assume that it's got something to do with the fact that there's separate programs running together.

That should sort out yer problem!

Don't forget the strategicaly placed 3D magazine with the keys and the CD on top to make it look like it's been there for a while and things have been hapening since.

[davie563]

i gave up and deleted it from my comp, i got it free with my monitor. but im back with windows firewall and AVG virus checker

Everything is workin perfect now

[KrisYoung1980]

You're one to talk about strategic positioning of stuff Fraser, with the three note pads perfectly aligned, the keyboard at precisely 90 degrees to everything else and the piece de resistance, the Fraser Davie Animations being clearly visible on the monitor!
:p

[davie563]

lol, yeah, but im a naturally neat person, i always have my stuff like that, i didnt go out of my way to show of my stuff and get my phone, monitor, mags, phone ect... LOL i bet chris dosent have his laptop open like that all the time, well i hope not

[davie563]

Here is a we Update :p

IM workin on it the now and just got the room 2gether, The guyis a we Real Madrid fan....u can prob see that urself

Now ! ANIMATION !!!

Muhahahahaha

[davie563]

Hi, im having problems with my rig, the arm is acting wierd. As i rotate the green handle, the blue 1 acts normally and follows it, but the red stays locked, this makes rotating the arm straight back and forward imposible. Here is is pic to hopefully better explain it :headbang:

:beer:

[KrisYoung1980]

The Heading control shouldnt move with the pitch, what you're experiencing is that fantastic thing we all love known as gimbal lock, this happens when a channel reaches +/- 90 degrees. Since you dont want to use IK to control the arms, my only suggestion is to be careful about the order in with you rotate the channels IK Booster has something called Quaternion Booster that can help with this but i don't know the specifics of it, perhaps someone more qualified will be able to step in...

[davie563]

Here is a we screen grab of the Walk-Cycle im making for my presentation

I should be gettin on with the actual animation itself, but will give me a we test as to how he moves and stuff before i start the actual thing.
