hello people, Peter, you certainly taught me something i didn't know about the versatility of use of tools in xsi- now since this time it will be the first time for me i build a rig outside of help from biped guide, i indeed shall want to test in length your ways of making concrete my sequence- to figure my way out - i was also evaluating using particles with a containing rigged skin for the smallest characters and exploring playing with deformingshapes/particles plug-ins - thus there's so many things i will need to learn, in the meantime that i am to find out a way that can also help enhance discover ( an original, on personal level) -esthetic- method to apply to my storyboard first 60 shots (the fragmentation only corresponds to two of these 60 long shots.) and the philosophy is still evolving somewhat fast in me, the fact that at the moment i have some time to be on my own to make every decision is an opportunity that i want to exploite to the fullest possible. i guess after that, for the next parts (ie.after these early 60 shots) in this feature movie, there will be new technological possibilities to explore.. and encounters with animators, new ways to learn.
thank you for your time and for welcoming me! saitham 2016-09-27 11:20 GMT+02:00 Morten Bartholdy <[email protected]>: > Peter pretty much covered your options as I see it, so I will merely say > welcome to the list.
