Completely agreed. I have never tried Lightwave, however, so maybe my assessment of the situation isn't completely valid.


Now as for the whole disputed amount of experience Metallic has, From what I've gathered he's telling the truth- that he saw maya in september and finally got it in february. Surely you all must know that a 3d application is no small investment. It took me months of reasoning with my parents to let me buy it with my own money that I had been saving- I was still, obviously, interested in 3d before I bought the software to go to these lengths to get the program. SO merely based upon the fact that he joined the forum in september is no valid means of calling him a liar.

And though trust in these communities is important, even if he was lying/exaggerating he wasn't using illegal software or using someone else's work as his own, or any of the other issues that I'm sure most of you have seen on other forums.

This just isn't that important. SO lets get back to the model. :)

I'm really looking forward to your animation of the bot, metallic. This thing is really looking awesome. Though I must agree that those toes have very strange linkage- though still awesome looking. keep it up, man. I hope you get some time to finish soon.

Amen!

Phew, we can get back to the point of this thread (which I've been thoroughly enjoying) - great work!!! :D

thanks lisa, im gonna actually change the scene i had with the chrome balls a bit, im gonna have a truck, where its actually speeding, and then cwr will run in and stop it, not sure, still thinkin about it

Yes, I think that would be better, because it is a crime robot, so it would be good to show it stopping some crime!! (plus I'd like to see that!)

this is a small rende i did from before, if u guys like it, let me know if u wanna see the animation when its rendered and all

i cant open this rar file....its also only 59,9kb big...???

hmm, u have winrar? ill re post it when i get home, im on a mac pc at skool, doin a powerpoint project right now, so u'll have to wait a bit

I downloaded the oc.avi video but wasn't able to watch it. Got some error: ClassFactory cannot supply requested class (Error=80040111) :(
Don't uderstand cause it's just a Cinepak codec vid. Anybody got this too?

for your final animation u might try Divx or Xvid . They are much better compressors than the ones bundled in Windows.

oh, u should have seen this link to watch it
