Re: Animators Unite
 

It's good that people would like to help. It's good for everyone to start posting. Since many are new, we might be helpfull in answering your questions. Since some of you are experienced, you will be helpfull in answering questions. :) I'd also hope to have art competitions and duels in the future, after FIRST (or before it ends), to keep our practice up.

I forgot to mention to spread the word. The G-3D community works by people power, with out the people, it'll just fade agian... This is my senior year. I might not be able to bring it back again...

Re: Animators Unite
 

I don't know if anyone asked this before or not, but how do you put words/text into a 3ds max animation? I don't see any function given by the program to do so. :confused:

Re: Animators Unite
 

Never mind. I found the bloody thing. Why do they feel the need to hide such useful items?!? Anyways, whatever. Does anyone of any other functions that you need to sell an arm and leg to find? If so, let me know. :mad:

Re: Animators Unite
 

Just most of the good ones...

Re: Animators Unite
 

I'm just wondering what caused such cynisicism against this program. Personally I'm heading down the same path because I'm getting really frustrated with it, but that's my excuse. :confused:

Re: Animators Unite
 

Who wouldn't be frustrated with a program that crashes with every driver ecsept software.

It does have some nice tools.

Re: Animators Unite
 

woops, I found it.

Can the mods please put the thread "G-3D" in place of this post if its not too much trouble?

Re: Animators Unite
 

Umm, I have an idea for reviving this thing.

What we need is a challenge: From summer to fall, participants must work on creating photorealistic human(s), fully animatable!

What do you'll think?

Re: Animators Unite
 

That's pretty hard. Trust me, we've built two fully animated humans the past 2 years, and it takes up about 50% of the precious time you have during the season. This would be really difficult for rookie teams, too. Maybe something less specific?

Re: Animators Unite
 

I've heard talk of other summer programs that wanted to go on in order to provide practice for new artists. If you are interested in participating, please contact me (not on this thread) so I can get a number of participants.

The fully animated human sounds like quite a task- do you know a good teacher who is willing to take their time out of the summer to teach?

I think summer class(es) will be a great idea, if it's planned correctly.

If there are other willing teachers, please contact me also, I might be able to work something out...

On other matters- is there anyone who knows how phpbb works?

I'd really like to get our old forum back:
- On the fixing of the new member sign up, there was a programming error.
- I've backed up the information on to my computer and reinstalled phpbb but it will not treat the backup file correctly.

Thanks,
