Hi Steve,

Thank you Steve, I continue along my learning curve.

Cheers

Hi Brittnell,

I have used sub-division surface for very simple shapes but modelling a head is something else. I’ve downloaded the PDF and I’ll need to watch a few YouTube videos.

Cheers

Hi Brian,

Thank you, I’m having a ‘I’m feeling dumb moment’. On my original document I had several contours and I was closing the wrong spline. I need more sleep!

Cheers

Hi Brian,

Yes, I’d be delighted to. Here’s the link…

I’ve animated the inheritance effector across the tracer. I need to look rather harder at the shape of the contour and how it unfolds from the circle but if you can spot where I’m going wrong with the caps, then I can do that and build a final, stacked topography.

Many thanks

Stephen

Cheers Brian,

I tried that, sadly nothing doing. A pity, everything else is working just fine except this caps issue.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your reply and my apologies for the delay in responding. It’s the first time I’ve rigged something this complicated and I’ve spent some of the last couple of days learning about how to manipulate my rig, which is actually better than I’d realised. What I’ve ending up doing, although it’s not finished, is to fix the hands and feet by using the rig correctly, ie using the pelvis and chest controllers more effectively.

Cheers

Hi Steve,

That’s just brilliant. I was coming to the conclusion that I needed to remodel with spherical eyes inside elliptical sockets, which would work but wouldn’t look as ‘cartoony’. It’s my first go at modeling beyond the really basic and I’m just about to have another go having learned a lot about the limitations of my geometry having rigged it and given it, as it turns out, a rather camp walk. I need a macho strut.

The generosity of you guys continues to amaze me, many thanks.

Kind regards

Stephen

Hi Brian,

Brilliant, that works too. Thank you both for helping me out with this.

Kind regards

Hi Benjamin,

Got it! I followed the way you’d set up your file including removing the null, which was unnecessary and bingo, it worked. Many thanks for your efforts in helping me sort this out. I’m using R18 but it opened your file no bother.

Kind regards

Stephen

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for your reply. I’ve just tried as you suggest however I’m still getting the red ball running along it’s original path, ie that contained within the purple guide lines. Am I doing something wrong?

Kind regards

Stephen
