Perhaps you need to turn limits off on the joints :)
Yes she looks good :)
not a cozy looking sitting by the fire
Looks more lie a "watching the city burn" kind of fire! :ahhh:
Think what I have to do is make a bunch of small emitters and combine them, instead of a single big fireplace size one, going to try that anyhow :)
Probably look more realistic.. most fires are physically several "emitters", blending together.. should kill that "sheet of flame" thing. :)
Geoffrey De Havilland was a great innovator
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_de_Havilland
...as was the company that bore his name.
They were the first to roll out a fully operational pure jet airliner, the Comet 1, in 1949 which entered service in 1952. Early versions of the aircraft were plagued by sudden catastrophic failure of the fuselage which was tracked down to stresses caused by the rivets that anchored the square window frames. All existing comets were modified to include oval windows which employed no rivets. After the redesign and refit, the Comet became a very stable and reliable aircraft which served several of the world's airlines with the last passenger carrying one, a model 4C being retired in 1997 nearly a half century after the first prototype as rolled out at Wooford Aerodrome. The Comet design also saw military service, most notably as the Nimrod Maritime Patrol aircraft, the last of which were retired in 2011.
A month after the prototype Comet 1 was unveiled in 1949, AVRO Canada introduced their C-102 Jetliner prototype, however it never would see production or airline service (in spite of Howard Hughes' keen interest in acquiring a number of the aircraft for TWA after test piloting the prototype) as the Canadian government pulled the funding on the project. Unlike the Comet, the C-102 had round windows and would not have been susceptible to the same stresses that doomed several of it's British "counterparts". Would have been interesting if Mr Hughes' wishes had come true.
Of the major postwar aerospace players, the US was one of the last to enter the commercial jet age with the 707 which made it's first passenger carrying flight in late 1958 six years after the Comet 1 and two years after Russia's Tupolev 104. The two former Axis powers, Germany and Japan never produced a viable commercial jet airliner after the war (though East Germany did embark on the on a project at the old Junkers plant in Dresden called the Baade or "Dresden" 152 which like the AVRO C-102 never made it past the prototype stage). France was the last to enter the race in 1959 with it's sleek passenger pleasing Sud Aviation Caravalle.
Harry Hawker the Sopwith test pilot was another UK great from those days :)

Yes it has to look "realistic" so I'll need to push some more polygons around, simply adding noise just seems to make it look bigger *le sigh* :lol:
Sheez why does a GPU need to connect to the internet? Iz just function creep :lol:
Yep - only eats 2 whole cows a week, a real money saver. :blank:
No joy with the wings, nothing loads. If you need wings on her, uhh.. you're probably out of luck. :down:
It is a good looking texture. Um, are the wings just single-sided ploys, can you see them from another angle ?
Seems like it was pressing the Control key when clicking the pose?
Oh wow it looks good and yes I see the issue with the wings, surely that is some setting or other *wonders* and hey didn't know I could play avi's but this mac just went "converting" and it was running ten second later wow *impressed* :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Aircraft
...creator of several historic and unique fighters including the Hurricane, Sea Fury, and VTOL Kestrel (Harrier).
As Hawker Siddeley, they produced a number of different aircraft models designed by other firms including the Comet 4, the DH 121 (better known as the HS Trident), Blackburn Buccaneer, Avro Vulcan, and the HS-801 Nimrod (the Comet based maritime patrol craft).
The GOOD thing is that I don't need wings for my purposes, so there's no fighting etc. trying to get things to somehow work. I might dig more tomorrow night since I spend all my going-out money this weekend :red: and lots of beer in the fridge! :cheese:
58 minutes, on frame 29 of 300.. Pixar I am NOT. Next time I get money.. no partying, no strippers, it's time to get a bloody fast i7 lappy that'll take 16GB! :snake: :snake:
All this for a stupid Webcomic.. wtf.. :smirk: :smirk: And I STILL haven't figured out the best way to save off custom characters! *cry* more beer! *cry*

...that sounds right. I knew it was something simple like that.
...well off to home and dinner. Another interview tomorrow morning so have to turn in early tonight.
Have fun, will be back sometime tomorrow.
Take care! :cheese:
Take care! :cheese:
+1
Ok this laptop is super-slow and the animation wont be done for hours, so I'm off to grab a brew and watch TV. See you all tomorrow, be well! :cheese: :cheese:
nite nite :) Zzzzzz
+1
+2 hope that turns out well for you :)
Morph slider doodle. :)
Why? You probably have Dragon 2 in your product library. It's a dragon. Everything doesn't have to use the latest and greatest technology, it's still going to look like a dragon. It's not like they're not accurate models. To determine that would require a real dragon to compare it with. :smirk:
Dana
That must be a real pain for those trying to do animations.
Speaking of animations, where's Wendy?
Dana
Good luck!
Dana
That's a great caricature!
Dana
Oh. I see. I'm alone in here. Well, I think I'll be heading to bed soon.
Dana
:lol: :lol:

Nope, no Dragon 2. Oh well. :blank:
9 hours 36 minutes later, it's done. I need to get it up to YouTube somehow, that's tonight's fun. :-S
I hate insomnia. :down:
Found tail and wing membrane.. they don't conform at all. Will keep searching, the ZIP file has stuff scattered all over...
CONTROL-clicking the pose did indeed keep the X/Y/Z/Scale, great catch! Next animation between poses rendering! :cheese:
Ok, last nights dragon animation uploading to YouTube, which hopefully won't damage it too much. With any luck, by the time I get home the next one will have completed and I can move on to something else for a bit!
Need coffee, have none, local place closed until 6AM when I'll be catching the bus. :down: :long:
Great work! :coolsmile:
Best of luck.
