cool updates team can`t wait for more keep going everyone:thumbsup:

SD- uploaded both characters. Let me know if anything is missing I did some tweaking on the fem tech head not to much though.

Ok, have uploaded all my current work to the FTP are (dropship crew subdir).
ā€˜Stage3ā€™ is the beginnings of trying to think about using constraints to handle the hand/arm movement but I canā€™t seem to find a way to constrain position on only 1 axis.
It needs the motion files from ā€˜WithTrolleY_Stage2.rarā€™ ā€œfbmā€ subdir to load properly.
Also uploaded a mov file of the resulting stage2 fbx, called ā€˜TrolleyPull_v1.movā€™

I am really looking to have the movement of the hips in the main direction to control the dragging of the trolley, maybe with a dampner as SD suggested to give the impression of weight. Then use some rotations of the trolley handle to give some ā€œlifeā€ to the action of the arms, as well as having the hands constrained to the extended handle bar, where I can apply some slight rotations/movement along the handle to give some ā€œhuman-nessā€ to the action. I dunno if anyone else can figure out what constraints I should be using here in what sort of heirarchy.

Meantime, over the weekend, if I get chance, Iā€™m gonna sit down and read some docs and see if I can find out anything that may help me.

Failing this, Iā€™m very much inclined to leave the action until I get back into LW then have LW expressions / channel modifiers sort the whole thing out for me. That much, Iā€™m pretty sure I can figure out. :stuck_out_tongue:

If I have any progress at lunch, Iā€™ll re-post, failing that, catch you next week! :smiley:

Hi Team, good to see you all steaming ahead . As of last night, Iā€™m dead in the water with a comatose laptop! :banghead: . Iā€™ve sent it off to see if the data on my hard disk can be recovered. I probably wonā€™t have another computer for a week though, really annoying with project deadlines looming:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: . Anyway the laptop did serve me well. But this kind of stuff is just annoying!!

#4766

WOW, youā€™re taking it pretty well. Do hope things go fast and you get all your files back. :buttrock:

Hi Team, it seems things are not as bad for my laptop as I thought. My harddisk survived:) and it seems only the display adaptor is dead. Iā€™ve converted my hard disk into an external drive, now just a small matter of a new computer :hmm: ā€¦

#4771

Good news bad news, huh :hmm:
Hope you do find a replacmentā€¦we need yah back in action. :wip: :slight_smile:

For those of you struggling with IKB, following a chat with ā€œDodgyā€ today and SD tonight, thought folks could benefit from going here: http://www.ikboost.com/

Some nice tutorials on IKBoost and done in a friendly manner, also provides rigs to go with them.

Thereason IKB has come to the fore is, Dodgy has done some kick-a** work with it for something coming up. :smiley:

#4773

donShole: Been down that road a few year back it stinks I feel for you. I now keep pc, mac and laptop to avoid this.

colkai: Interesting Ikb will be following to see what comes.

Hay team been out for a while paying for new software: MW, was looking into upgrade of MB but at 2k no way. Looking into MA for motion. Has anyone used zB with Lightwave? Oh well might get it before autodesk buys them.

#4774

Hi Team:),
Just wondering what youā€™re all up to. Iā€™m just beginning to recover from my laptop setback and juggling time between work and preparing for exams.

#4775

Weā€™re all waiting for you! :smiley:

#4776

Hehehe, you got me with that one:D .

#4777

Wow, this project is really interesting. I would like to model some stuff for you guys but I donā€™t know what you need.

#4778

Thanks DarknosAurae.
Weā€™re kind on a bit of a slow turn for a bit, stuff is happening, but nothing fantastic to show at the moment. That will change in the next while with a sweet dodgy surprise coming up :buttrock:

Iā€™ll have a look to see what we could use modelled. Please PM or email with your skill level (2 of your best work LINKS) And your tools. :thumbsup:

#4779

Donshole- can I get an ETA on ā€œreturn of the MB Jediā€? :smiley: :slight_smile:

#4780

Donshole- Got your message on the team forum. Will await the return :thumbsup:

In the meantime>
