mike ricks 3d blog

This was the pose that didnt get saved So this 3rd pose is the now after the tutorial so this is on my own.

Was working on the animation bit and i had a complete pose on 45 but as soon as i moved the timeline it removed it and i got just stopped for the night.

Nothing too special just the tools and character rig.

So im more or less done. i was gonna do a final video but the dogtag detached and the skeleton detached from the skin and i just cant take it any more lol. but i think i have the general idea but i think ill look up how to rig in max.

So this night was a nightmare. I couldnt get anything in the Hypershade to work like in the videos. the buttons i push dont bring up whats in the video. when i load up the project files i cant even find the hypershade stuff so i cant even find follow up. So im skipping most of the anything that involves hyper shade because i just cant make it work. And now the tail doesnt even follow the blend stuff either I should have just done a max tutorial lol.

Plugging along the dog rig. the expressions wouldnt work on the first video so i just made it on the key thing like in the other tutorial.

Okay moving on and even his advance file didnt have the same joints moving as one so im not that worried about it. i think i get the principle of taking a bunch of weird groups and applying them to custom controls.
