Hi studio and all...
well I really dont know what to say...
Hope this one isnt too lengthy..and with nothing at all in it..=(
All I have tried in all years..is to be nice and also helpful as much as I
can and at times when I can...=(
You still after all this time, cant even care to learn my real name...
you keep on saying Steph....eventhough I left many options up, since I put
my full name and my online nick, in all my posts.and eventhough I pointed
out how important that is to me. ! =(
Then you bash out on, even after I have explained that I really have wanted
to make a REAL Tutorial on all this Char Anim stuff that I have learned and
found out over the years, (also on many other stuff), since a long time...
but havent yet, since my life really is a horrible mess...and I dont hardly
have energy at all... =( and I dont know when it will brighten up.. if
ever.. =(
It doesnt make things better that when trying to just take some few steps to
get started to share some..., to get it all thrown in the face...
btw.. did you even bother to load in the prj files, one of them had some
docs in the actual prj file in RS.. ?
If you did.. did you think it was not good enough..? all of it? or what
parts ?
Did you study any of the prjs, and look abit on them to try to see what the
keys to them could be? and after that ask some more specific questions about
it..to better understand it..
Why didnt you enter the threads, both mine and Matthias, and just asked
something?, instead of stepping in on my post with the anims...
Is it better for you that nothing is shared, just cause not everything has a
step by step guide ?
Must all things that is shared or talked about on the list be in such a way
that everyone at all time gets everything ?
Or should we all just take it as a good thing that something is actually
shared?, and just snap up the things and pieces that we can use and skip the
rest (or ask the poster, in a friendly way, if he/she could help out some
more on some parts of it, that we dont understand or need more info about..)
There are many times topics on the list are things I dont care at all about,
or that I dont understand (some VSL stuff comes to mind..), but either I
just skip it,or some I look at and test, and some I ask some more questions
to the poster..and some I leave for another day, when hopefully I get more
experience so I actually do understand what those posts where all about and
then I can use the info in it..!
Cant just things that is being shared, no matter what it is.. a cool image,
some workflows in an anim..some prj files.. or whatever.. be seen at times
as just inspiration..and just get others an idea that this and that actually
IS possible in RS, which then leads you to try to figure it out...
I am always looking on other sw tuts or online articles or whatever I am
intrested in, and then my mind thinks abit how this actaully can be done..in
a RS specific way...or in my own way..
So at time one really needs to try to figure somethings out..(that is one of
my own inspirations.. to find my OWN solutions on things I want to be able
to do in RS, thats why I have made tons of workarounds for stuff over the
years.. I especially loved those days when the list was very active and ppl
always asked alot of questions.. or had threads going on with cool ideas..
which made my inspiration flow..=)
I think what you are doing can really make the sharing of stuff, to
decrease.. =(
For ppl to feel encouraged to share ANY thing, then a good and friendly
atmosphere is needed, so the whole range from very simple to ultra advanced,
as well as not documented to Fully documented stuff, could be shared...
Every extreme seems hard to handle..
Since.. some users can think, this prj of mine or this idea or tip, or
workflow of mine is toooooo simple, or just nothing new, so I better not
share it..
Others can on the other extreme...hmm.. maybe this is just too much, too
advanced.. too little documented.. too showy...Its better that I dont share
this..
Any of this should be able to be shared..and anything that is shared, no
matter how simple or advanced it is.. has always things in them that are
golden..to someone..!
Hopefully I will continue to share..but this really has got me thinking..
=(..
Take Care

OK , I'll bite on this bait :
Thanks for the project files . Obviously Steph liked it .
I know I only stated my extremely simple point once and
that could never be enough ... so here goes again .
The reason I asked if you guys would maybe throw
us a little bone about what actual techniques you
are using was so that perhaps we could follow along
on these threads and learn a little bit as we go .
You post project file and anims . Steph posts
anims . You guys talk back and forth , so I
thought maybe you might take a little time to
keep the rest of us informed about what you are
(as I said previously) actually and exactly
doing that is working for you .
_ Are you using scripts ?
_ Is it easily done ?
_ Do you have any similiar RS manual examples ?
_ Are the RS manual examples defunct now ?
_ Are you breaking new ground ?
_ Is it a combination of concepts from other S/W's ?
Steph replied to my suggestion that you talk a little
about what you are doing with a very lengthy email that
talked and talked and said nothing technical-not much help.
If you guys are just interested in showing what you
have accomplished and having a little fun then by all
means tickle each other until the sun comes up .
I just thought I'd let you know that it is not very
easy to follow along on EXACTLY what it is you are
experimenting with .
Anyway , by all means - Confuse away !!!
