Yayyyy!!!! Mike! - You have made my day!
I have been wanting to join in a challenge since the last one I attempted - wow must have been 7-8mths ago, but I have found since then all have been 'out of my depth' and I was extremely dissapointed when I read that this months would be 'Animation' -
Don't get me wrong 'Animation' is ultimately what I want to do, but i'm so poor at modelling and some 'basics' of Maya that I wouldn't stand a chance of learning it all - never mind making a 'short animation' in time.
However since you have posted a couple of models, I can at least 'learn' more about animation, and have a go at making something half decent.

Err Basically - Thanks Mike

Count me in, Noob (of course)

Regards Scraggy

(I will add my entry to the forum when I have had chance to play around and see if I think it's possible for me to finish)

wav problems

Hi,

Has anybody else had problems just importing the WAV files into Maya?

I get this message when I drag the .wav file to the timeline.

timeControl -e -ds true -s `sound -file "F:/Work/Maya/SM_Challenges/2004/July/kitchen_monster/sound/monstercrazy.wav" ` timeControl1 ;
// Error: cannot find file //

Please help?

hmm, apparantly Maya doesn't like the audio files. Sorry, didn't realize that. I'll try to see about fixing them.

Here are working sound files. My apologies for the others.

I may consider extending this challenge to 2 months because of this. I'll let you know.
