Thanks for the inside info. I'm trying to do a 3d cartoon character myself right now. He's sort of a barfly type of guy like Norm in "Cheers", but exaggerated for effect. I'm not sure whether to try and modify him from one of the 3d-people or use parts of your Ray-ceo from the "Bored Room". Anyways, I'm glad you added "yet" to the end of your comment on Softimage. I really liked their inverse kinematics and dynamics when I saw their demo at Siggraph.

i have talked to some people up here in ventura and they were quite anoied at 3dstudio. seems that they used to work for wavefront until the layoffs happened. they blamed 3dstudio for taking there jobs away<g>. they just can't compete with the prices they are charging for an animation when i can do almost the same thing in 3dstudio for aa fraction of the cost. sherwood

anoied? I'll bet they were! As I recently said, I just win a contract bidding against 2 animation houses. One had Symbolics and one Wavefront …. oh well

I'm looking forward to seeing your new character, Martin. Should be fairly bizarre, I'm SURE. – G
