Hey howard you got some mad skills mate.... If you make a freaky character for this set and if i have time (waiting to hear if i get a fulltime job in the next week or so.) we should make a little animation..=)

Awesome stuff mate...

Great stuff Howard. See, you don't suck at mechanical things. The way you work, I start to wonder if YOU are a machine user added image

Heheheh, If i have time we should come up wiht a little story nothing magor a few cuts would be good for both our reels.

Im praying so hard for this job mate.. full time, cg animator.. wife lost her job and money starting to get tight=(... I really need this to happen.

Only weird thing is, if i get it, I have to learn XSI, but thats good for me to have another program under my belt. ILM using XSI and so does PDI

witchy-"How did you get that lighting effect?"

It was just two lights- I think they were point lights? but may have been volume... and in the attributes you can change the colors.... I usually use the cheesey old movie style lighting. 3 lights, a white key light @1.2 or so a red and a blur light for rim lighting usually @.5 or so. in the viewport under lights you can check "use all lights" and adjust them in realtime... I dont know if this is a proper trchnique, I guess I should get Mikes lighting tute eh? user added image

Pure_Morning- animate?!?!? are you crazy!! thats your department user added image

I guess they would be easier than the zillion spiders you did, but still way too advanced for me user added image

fredriksson- just checked out your site.... great stuff!!! :thumbsup:

ok... did a bit more. I have a bad feeling that I am going to have to reassemble this during the texturing process user added image

Hey Howard.

At the moment this sorta looks a little like a minature, but I bet that'll change when you texture it. I'm with everyone here, it looks great at the moment.

Shock us with the end result... user added image

there used to be a how to on the alias site on how you can animate gears and stuff. It would do it all for you. It should be too hard. I think if you did them as rigid bodies it would be fine. yeah a rigid body with a nail constraint in the middle of it I think..... I'll have a play and see what I can come up with
