Who is Ed Haris?
Sorry, I'm new. Can you explain.

[raffael3d]

Ed Harriss is a well known XSI Expert with over a decade of experience in the industry.
his site www.edharriss.com has the largest listing of xsi tutorials.
He is also the author of "How to get a job in computer animation"

why, he's only the king of wazhoo, the sultan of pizaaoooww, the rockster extradordinaire; one of the coolest, slickest, hip hoppin'-happening cg miesters-fiends of the modern age!


He's a pretty swell fellow too, I met him last year when he came to town to lecture, and am looking forward to it this year too.

and who is marcusss?

Why, Only the spectacularest, superfried-iatious king of the feline avatars; the twist of lemon in the ice'd tea of ANYONE'S thread; bringing justice and questioning the standards of conventional logic patterns we have come to know as the forums.




I've had waaayyy too much caffiene lately.


This is fun, anyone else?

[blankslatejoe]

this also probably doesn't belong in the softimage forums anymore...

[EdHarriss]

Thanks for the praise. :)
I've been out of the office for the past couple of days, and missed this thread.

Yes, I'll be coming to VCU to give some lectures. One on XSI and One on How to get a job in computer animation. Hope to see you there!

butar, I'm one of the Mods for this forum.

[EdHarriss]

And this video (http://research-triangle.siggraph.org/media/Ed_jumps.wmv) proves it. :)

but why ? is theare some special reason or ?

p.s. not sure for the word reason that is right to say, but english is not my native, so sorry if wrong


:::edit:::
fixed some missing letters ;)

[blankslatejoe]

"reason" fits there, pimento. You're english is not half as bad as some people who call it their first language.

And yeah, this looks a lot like Mr. Ed Harriss -->:bounce: :bounce:

[EdHarriss]

No reason. We were just having too much fun. I believe that video is from SIGGRAPH 2002, maybe 2001. We always have too much fun at SIGGRAPH.

yo Ed, that looked like conf in New Orleans?

I'll be there for all the Ed Harriss lecture fun at VCU. Huzzah for us, the VCU SigGraph chapter.

Mr. Harriss - that video is hilarious, Joe had been bugging me to check this thread out for a week, raving about it.

Also, I hate to be somebody to break up the fun feel of this thread, but I have been pulling my hair out over an XSI problem, that seems so minute, that it would be silly of me to start a thread for it, so I thought maybe perhaps Jedi Master Harriss would know.

I'm trying to freeze the rotation on an implicit square, that I've adjusted 90 degrees on the X-axis. When I freeze the rotation, it zeroes it out, but it does so by resetting the Implicit square to its original rotation. I know I'm selecting freeze rotation, not reset rotation, and I can't for the life of me find out what setting I've accidentally set to make it reset itself when I freeze it.

This is a terribly stupid problem, and its definitely my fault somehow, but anyhow, if any of you happen to know off the top of your head what I'm doing, I'd be much abliged if I could get clued in.

Thanks-

Andy

[blankslatejoe]

sounds like it's worth a post of it's own to me. I'm not a xsi guy, but, if the problem is as rudimentary as you think, you probably would get a reply from someone, not neccesarily Ed Harriss, pretty quickly.

Goodluck Andy, your figure's coming along nice! (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=133856)

[EdHarriss]

For those of you that are interested, HERE (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=137287) is some more info on the free lectures/seminars that I'll be teaching at VCU.

It should be loads of fun. See you guys there!


Micah - It could be New Orleans, but I think that it is San Antoino.


MajinPunisher - Implicits are like nulls. You can't zero them out. Sorry.

[MajinPunisher]

Ahhh, thanks Ed Harriss.

My only remaining confusion then is this:

I'm following along with one of the video tutorials I found through your site. Specifically, the second part of "Rigging from Scratch".

At one point, this fella says to freeze rotation on an implicit square. Is he doing something other than what he says? Or am I misinterpreting/understanding something incorrectly.

Also, many many thanks for taking the time to look at the problem.

Update on my problem:

I'm an idiot.

In the video, he says "Curve Square", and because I'm just a fool, I heard "Implicit Square".

Sorry if I wasted anybody's time with my stupidity.

Thanks Ed Harriss.

[EdHarriss]

No problem. :)
