I am trying really hard on the Model of the month competition, so I might be able to get 5 more points...

Does that mean it's possible to win points for VIP tutorials?
I still plan on purchasing points as soon as I get paid user added image

That's great Kevin! user added image

had a quick question about this upcomming tutorial...

Can you briefly describe the difference between this rigging tutorial, and the character rigging tutorial that just came out?

Seems like there can be some cool things done with SDK on this robotic dog, like pistons and gizmos moving and whatnot.

Can't wait for it to come out user added image

George

P.S. How does one become Member of the Month?

God Bless you and 3D

sure GCastro

well the main point is that 1 is organic and one not... as you say pistons, flaps, gizmo hydraulics can be used on the dog as where the character needs to be set and weghted so it moves naturally.

both tutorial will server there own purpose for whatever you needed..

There will be many set driven keys on the dog ... And its probably fair to say mike will also do this on the hands of the character but I have yet to discuss this with him.

but it will be fantastic for sure as mike and craig have some great skills... both will be top tutorials.. I watched mikes rig part 1 and he is just so natural about the way he goes about it... I learn something everytime I watch him. Plus it was extra nice of him to give his character to go along with as many would not have so many thanks to him!

and craig: well craig was the guy who inspired me to get into maya and open this site! so it goes without saying that he is my mentor.

lol I went a little off the topic here but I sure am lucky to know 2 of the nicest people you could ever meet!

dam i love you guys :love:

I didn't think that you based it on post counts. Don't get me wrong, I know it takes allot to be Motm, or at least to do what it takes to be MOTM, so Congrats to everybody who has made MOTM. You really deserve it. I think that The Mods here are very good at Judging the MOTM and Contest Winners. There are certain places (I am not going to give names) that choose an obviously lesser piece, because they are more well know or because of Favoritism. But, I haven't seen anything like that here, witch is why Simply Maya is the Forum that I visit and post the most on by far. Great site guys, best one for beginners like Us I have seen anywhere. P.s. why such a wierd #14? I mean, why not like 10 or 15? lol. Just wondering why you chose 14.
Thanks,
Brian

I don't know, Maybe I will Im you. But, its all based on opinion, I don't want to talk about anybody or their site. But, here are some example of prices. I have heard that CGChannel offers hosting, BUt I couldn't find a link on their site. SO, here are some others in no particular order. Hope this is helpful. The price really depends on how much space, amount of bandwith ect... Thanks,
Brian
