Hi Brian, I know that this is not the best way to answer your QT. How many experience do you have with CG-animation? (And 3D at all?)
Well, in my opinion (and some other peoples, too) CG can be done. (Bones with IK, FK,.. are build in). Facial animation can be done (Morph, Point-Translation,...) The cloth QT and softbody-dynamics: That's more a QT which is related to Carlo Lanzottis Plugins. Maybe he'll release his plugins soon. (Italia has won against Australia at the Soccer-WM,...) Hair? I think that's not possible :-( Matthias ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 2:21 PM Subject: Hello all. > Potential buyer here.
