Rusteberg, they're blood awesome, my hats off to you, great job!!

[Richard]

Uh.. wow those look fantastic rusteberg! no really they do. I'm not just saying that to be kind, they look and feel like real t-shirts. Great work!

Exactly my thoughts and not being nice, the fabric and opacity is perfect. Though who ever washed them needs to apply some wondersoap around the collar next time!

Top job rusty!

Carpet, reworked for V2:

I'm slowly learning character animation, rigging and all that fun stuff now. Here's my first test using the already finished character rig called Blake. To be my first time at this i'm quite satisfied with it ..although it could use some more work hehe
Anyhow i rendered this animation with Maxwell 2.0, it's 201 frames long and rendertime per frame was about 30 seconds per frame so it was pretty fast although the shaders are very simple.

Here's the playblast version from Maya

Brian, what a carpet! wow!

Max, the animation looks cute Are those controllers ready sets?

[Maximus3D]

Tom: Thanks! yea those controllers are part of the rig so you can easily animate facial expressions and jointmovements by dragging them around and keyframing them. Even a idiot like me can animate with simple rigs like that

Max, cool! More! More!

Tom, thanks!

[rusteberg]

bubba, Billy Mays would be proud http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mays

max, you skipped the fun part! now try creating the rig from scratch, adjust all the mesh envelopes, link all the constraints/solvers and assign them to a custom slider control interface with relative limits...

[iker]

Max, you're starting to like Maya don't you?

rusteberg...woooow! those t-shirts are awesome!

[Maximus3D]

Bubba: Thanks, i'll do my best but i have a loooong road ahead of me learning this stuff :/ both looking forward to it and not..

rusteberg: Hehe i know! that was the plan all along, to skip it so i could study the rig and learn something from it i have done simpler arm and leg rigs with muscles and skinning myself, but that's relatively easy when it's just one ik/fk chain and mesh. I know i got a hell infront of me but i'm atleast gonna try to learn it even if it takes time and hard work.

iker: I'm afraid to admit that yea there are many things in Maya that i like, the more i play around with them the more i like them. Although it's not as smooth and fast to work with as Modo or Cinema4D is, Maya has a lot going for it and i could definately see myself in the future working with it in combination with other apps ofcourse. We will see what comes of this.. if anything, not even i know that yet.
