Hey Mirko!

clean off that dusty old CRT. Those 4k textures will look nice and pretty.

Sweeeet. Glad you got it figured out. Tech support at Thinkbox is super helpful too. Even with just a demo license, they try to help out as much as the can. within reason obviously. In my experience, managing a render farm is more of an artform than a science. Achieving fast, efficient renders won't...

Hi, I'm somewhat familiar with deadline. But I'm not quite understanding the problem your having. How are you submitting your renders? From within deadline, or through SI with the submission script? I'm fairly certain you need to map the network drive. So that the shared machine a drive is seen as a...

I think its function is slightly vague, or maybe I'm just not understanding correctly. Specifics on how it would be utilized would help dictate a method IMO
.

Either way, sometimes you just have to keep things simple... here's my take ;)

np, reading the script hurts my eyes, but It works I suppose - however non-elegant it is ;)

this is the code I used to create the synoptic script in that video. It's very basic, something I wrote really fast, I'm sure it could be spruced up a bit, but it works great for my needs. # Gets the name of all the Selected Controllers and adds the "SynopticSelect" function to it oXSI = A...

np, sometimes the math is so obvious and in front of you that you miss it completely. The new joint length, divided by the original joint length gives you the multiplier (scale)

Best!

replace the point and orient constraint with a pose constraint, and remove the scale constraint on the measure nulls. so the chain is being effected by the scale again on the "pelvis" cntrl. Then in ICE tree, instead of having to divide the joint length by the Global_SRT's scale. simply di...

no problem, just remember to not set position keys on the bones themselves. that can get ugly quick. And as always, envelope the mesh to nulls that are constrained to the bones. Doing so will alleviate the need (for the most part) of needing individual FK controllers to control individual FK bones. ...

Hey Guys. I just posted a quick vid showing how to setup an FK IK switch using the built in blending features. long ago are the days of creating three separate joint chains. tutorial: FK IK Switch the Idea is to animate using the IK controllers while also keying bone rotations. then, blend to FK and...

did somebody say Mutiny? I think we're in need of some dedicated project managers. People who have experience babying a project along from start to finish, and somebody who isn't going to disappear after a few months leaving everyone leaderless. I'm an animator with prod. experience from modeling to...

yes, a project status update would be nice. Has the story/characters/concept been developed yet? or is that still in the air?

I really like that idea Opentarget! I picture a couch-locked, alcoholic, washed-up "Count Choccula" type vampire, struggling to find self-worth.

Count me in, I'm an animator, but can rig and render as well.
