Im in... not sure what Ill come up with yet

Im gonna do a death sequence... I have a couple of premade low poly models already... just might change the head or something.

Its gonna be kind of the character (kung-fu master/samurai) finishes off the big boss (snaps his kneck and dices him)...something like that

I modelled a character real quickly. I usually setup my own custom rig, but I wanted to try the new maya 7 full body IK tool... and I have to say... its really cool! ...if you've ever used motionbuilder, you'll love it.

Im pretty sure they dont use it either, was just a test

I havent made any game models before so sorry for the dumb question ....is cloth ever used?

nope. or not cloth simulations, its all blendshapes and stuff. really quite complicated too!

Cmon, do your animation, I want to see it :p

hey, thank for the responses. Im pretty sure a cloth sim has been used in certain games before, you can still set the poly cont of the cloth pretty low and get some decent effects. Anyways, I just modified the model a bit to make it look like it has clothing...save on rendering time

really! I didn't know there was coth in video games.
huh...
