Hehe great little film, quirky and classic all at once :)
Ah, been meaning to see that -- looked fun ^_^. There was also another weird European "SF" film recently, something about a Troll under a bridge? *vague recollection of a very gritty grey-scaleish promo clip somewhere* ~_~
Beached whales - and whole dolphin pods - are kinda routine here, there are special rescue crews that try to refloat them but it doesn't work most of the time.

If you have Fox channels Cowboys and Aliens is on Showtime this afternoon :)
*hugs* cross-platforming is always pernickety
I saw a preview of a movie that was about a Zombie who wants to be good. Forgot its name.
Peh. I was poking around with an older (and much lower in polygon count) model and tried some rigging... God how I hate rigging. I'm so terrible at it, and when i weight one thing I break something else.
Which brings to mind the Sky Wyrm from Swidhelm. I contacted him about if there's anyway I can get a non Poser-Cloth version of the wings, but don't expect to get any sort of response other than "Trolololol Poser only lulz, U watsed uz money" more or less. I can't rig a dragon, especially a higher resoltuion one (More polygons = Harder to Rig)
*Sighs*
I am not going far in this movie. I keep getting interrupted.
Was that Ed in Shaun of the Dead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_of_the_Dead
No I saw it in theaters when I went to a movie in late November or early December. It was previewing a movie coming out in 2013.
Ed was a funny character who ends up a zombie living in a shed and playing video games :lol:
I just added that to my queue for Netflix.
Except for the "zombie" part, that would have been a good description of me during one period of my life. :)

Sheds have a cult following here, there are even community sheds for people who don't have one themselves. Is it wrong to think that's weird? :lol: http://www.mensshed.org/home/.aspx

OK, read about men's sheds and still have no clue. Are there no normal places for men to meet and "share their feelings"? Pubs, local cafes. men's clubs?
Are there no women's sheds? :roll:
Moar Mental Ray (iray) fun...
Also will need to learn how to rig soon... I want to make use of the dinos I have o3o
...a very big relief to know that you and your belongings were spared.
For me, this just reinforces the reason why I do not want to go back to a shared living situation with someone I know nothing about.
In the past had property, food, and money, stolen, been woken up at all hours of the night/morning by loud partying, as well as had expensive cookware irreparably damaged and a great old classic 1960s Hi-Fi system (that was far better than any of the cheap breadboard crap they make today) blown out.
If I end up in a "cardboard bungalow" because rents have become so obscene where I live, at least it will be MY "cardboard bungalow".
...seems to be a lot of that going around lately.
...this is more my speed...

Complaint: Magneto is taking over the world.. now I'm getting errors from www.evilinnocence.com >_<</div>
...you're kidding...they're using this piece of rubbish software too?
decisions decsions, in the market for new software for 3d
so far downloading the trails for
Cinema 4d
Lightwave 11
Modo 601
C4D from first use seems to be very easy to pick up and use, BUT to get all the bells and whistles you need to shell out hefty ammounts of cash.
lightwave and modo seem more complete, light wave being more expensive, and there is the fact Modo is on sale till the end of the month.
sigh.. decisions decisions, need to play with all of them to see which I want to go with, C4D is probably not going to make the cut since the other two off all their features in the one package.
Is rigging especially clunky in C4D then?
That's a great deal to take in all at once :)
...this is more my speed...
Dont drive but do appreciate chrome goodness :)

true but I'm not exactly new to 3d modeling, I've used truespace for years till the company got shut down. I've been using cararra, hexagon, wings3d, bryce and blender on and off ever since, but I want a more complete package,
the C4d trial is opened ended you just can't save anything till you active the trial, plus it is easy for me to use and I went through a couple tutorials fairly quickly, the sticking point is while C4d Prime is affordable, C4d Studio is not and thats where the good bells and whistles are.
light wave trial is almost done downloading, and when its done, I'll start the modo trail download, and head to bed, I'll do the installs in the morning.
Modo 601 is on sale for under $800 right now, and the sale ends the 31st, so I'm doing to dive into it asap.
Clueless as well, some stuff is just weird :)

Grab the Lightwave trial content if you can, LW is deceptively simple to use and the scenes that come with the trial content should be a breeze for you to work through :)
Cinema has better modeling tools than both Carrara and Hexagon, but falls short when compared to Modo and Lightwave.
I'd look at VertexPusher's Cinema tutorials - his series on MoGraph was AMAZING.
C4D's stability is one other bonus.
@ps1borg: No not at all - I just don't have the practice ^_^
Cinema's the second time I've rigged anything, the first being Carrara whose tools would randomly stop working, or affect stuff it shouldn't, and were very much clunky.
I can't personally agree that LW is easier than it looks, unless of course you want to compare that to Maya or 3DSMax in which case yes Lightwave is easier than it seems.
Is best to weight-map everything before you apply bones, as a rule of thumb, and tweak the weights as you apply bones. My 2c. I guess the modeller/layout split in LW makes it look more complicated than necessary but I appreciate keeping the two interfaces separate. Depends what you are used to I guess, compared to Max and Maya there are far fewer clicks involved say to make particles or apply a motion track so yes that's the world I move in :)

As far as I can tell, the weight-mapping comes in two forms - Vertex Painting (To have deformers affect only a certain place, or to have Hair grow only in a certain area, etc), and Weight Painting. The weight painting is only for Joints (No bones in C4D. They did away with those in R12) and can only be applied once the joint skeleton is bound to the mesh. There IS a way to get the auto-weights to be useable, but I don't understand the settings so I leave it at default. This makes some joints useless (The tip of the tail, the tongue, or the "Kill Claw" on raptors), but often makes the thighs on bipedal animals work decently, while lizard tails are almost always functional right off the bat.
Digital Tutors has some great videos on rigging in C4D, I just haven't finished watching them yet.
Surprisingly enough, they don't have a single Lightwave video. (But they've been requested in the forums.)
