But I have revised it much more than that version above. But I am working on my final animation for the class right now. As for dynamics, we just got into working with sprites, which by the way are excellent for smoke and other effects.J.

How are you animating?<BR/><BR/>I have prospective client wanting me to train them in dynamics simulation / particles animation for planetarium format films. I thought of you and you dynamics class.

It is quite impressive being there in person. Anyway I will be uploading a whole bunch of Oscar videos in the near future.J.

I plan on doing another weight lift that will be reel material. But I have found something to keep me busy this summer. Check out the site 11secondclub.comJ.

Toward the end of the lift, something seems off. Think about how the weights will try to push the skeleton down. Once he has the weights up to his shoulders, the weights seem to loose their weight. Overall decent work though. I just think some keen observation of the action will really make the animation sing!fluxist8070https://www.blogger.com/profile/09962281438636906336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759580349694778843.post-35698030482249823322009-02-19T18:58:00.000-08:002009-02-19T18:58:00.000-08:00The next animation will be my final animation for ...The next animation will be my final animation for the class which will will be posted in about a month or so, unless anyone is interested in seeing how an animation progresses from start to finish.J.
