anyway, that's another story but it made me realise that one needs to keep up with the times if it involves work.
here's the latest with Franky.
Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Heh heh..
It is a good tute, isn't it. Both this and the cartoon dog were great value. The dog was the first thing I tried rigging, texturing and blend shapes with. It was also the model I used to get the hang of using a control system that would allow each eye to look in a seperate direction or at the same target, depending on the value of a custom attribute. Mmm 3dBuzZ has some good stuff too.
Glad to hear of your relief, putting such a pain in the a$$ issue like the extrude bug behind you. I know I stuggle enough when the pc is doing what it is supposed to.:p
Yup, inspite of global warming, the world is becoming a somewhat colder place to live, but in the immortal words of a young Aussie, "Such is life"...
Looking forward to seeing frankie finished mate, just wait for the sense of achievement you get when he's 'coloured in'. Not to mention the inspiration one gets for trying bigger and better things.
'till later,
Simon.

Simon, young ozzy.., you'd be refering to Ned Kelly no less lol. global warming?? yea, its becoming an oxymoron
R@nSiD (how do you say that??
) looks good, very toony. did you rig him too. Did you try a numder of textures or did yousettle on one texture, i mean did you try any of the toon shaders or anything. I really have no idea about that yet, its something that is puzzling me at the moment. How ill I texture him??thanks guys all much appreciated.

Pronounced Rancid (wierd huh - and yes it's spelling is wrong on purpose and theres a tail behind it).Originally posted by mirek03
R@nSiD (how do you say that??
He is 3/4 Rigged. Hes has the basic rig in and all the weights painted to the joints. I have 1 hand rigged to a NURBS Curve (used as controller for the attributes that are tagged to SDK (Set Driven Keys) for fingers and thumb (index, ring, middle finger & thumb rolls and a fist). If you can grab Mikes rigging tute and Kurts foot roll one, very handyand worth the tupence. AS for textures I can UV map ok, but I am no 2D artist, but got the effects or look I wanted with some of photoshops default brushes. Thank god for my Tablet.
I did flirt with the toon shader, but it didn't look right

i created a lot of geometry because I had no idea what I was doing when I was merging verts, but sort of figured it out as I went.
again I must thank Kurt for this extraordinary tut, I have others of course but there is something quiet magical about this one.
