where is the iiko model ?

I'm to the point where I just want to make an animation of blowing the iiko up with a gernade.

I feel ya man. After weeks of avoiding the iiko rig from 3ds Max and days of trying to animate it in Maya, now I find the Maya rig...

Also, I'm trying to open the new Maya rig in Maya, and I (think) I extracted the files correctly, and I'm getting an error and a blank Maya screen.
Sooo... I was relieved when I saw there was a Maya rig, aaaand now I'm notsohappy again.

I'm with you on that one.

Every now and then it helps to blow small things up in side animaitons

Maybe that could be in the credits.

Actually, the credits should be a still, non-animated slide.

I found that I can scale the Iiko by selecting his bones (RascalRArm1, RascalSpine, etc) individually and scaling them that way.

If you chose a set number and always scale each bone to that number, then in the end it will all be proportional. Haha I know it's time consuming, but I can't seem to find any other way to scale them

Does it say that anywhere?
This is from the award documents

a. The initial slate must include:
- Team number
- Team Name
- School
- Title
- Duration (not including slate and black)
- Credits may follow that still frame, but will not be included as part of the timing,
judging or scoring

It just says that it should follow the second of black that ends the animaiton

I'm fairly certain the credits can be anything you want them to be and are not part of the judging process...

Hi Folks:

It's been sometime since I've been on this site. I'm on my third FIRST Robotics team in eleven years, exciting times!

Apologize in advance for adding a second topic within this thread...

I've just realized something regarding 3ds max 2011 64 bit, we can not export .mov files, Apple and Autodesk have not resolved the codec problems.

Essentially we have to render out single frame shots into and a movie editing application of choice (Premiere or any other editing software).

If anyone is interested I'll post something in a day or so regarding a solution; other than the immediate solution of just installing 3ds max 2011 32 bit version onto classroom stations...

As an aside, why is the Animation contest due so early?

Bye for now,

2. Click the 'Motion' Tab.
3. Expand the 'Layer Manager' rollout.
4. Click and hold the 'Add Layer' button (next to the 'X' button).
5. Point to the first option and release, a new 'Animation Layer' is added.
6. Click the 'Setup/Animation Mode Toggle' button.
7. Start creating keyframes for the spline helpers (like 'CTRL_Head').

Thank you :OOOO

I never saw anything like that. I don't believe that that is true.

I am having trouble with the iiko rig. Whenever I import him his rigging is in bones and not a cat rig. If you guys know how to fix it let me know because the bone rig doesn't work correctly.
thanks

Are you using the Maya rig? I seem to recall briefly looking at the two different files for comparison, and the Maya rig is set up as a biped as opposed to CAT. Which makes sense as Maya can't make use of CAT rigs.
