Animation Challenge #1

[Chris Nowak]

Alright, here it is.

For the people who just see this now and didn't see the previous thread, your challenge is to create this picture in 3ds max. However, there is no competition here.

To people making this:
I would guess the best way to go about this is for everyone to create a new thread for their model. If you know you can't post updates all the time, you should post in this thread. However, if you can devote some time to this you should create a new thread and post pics of your progress as you create this thing. If you can, it would be best to use your own web space to link to the pictures, but I guess if you can't just attach them to the post.

This will only work if you post exactly how you do things or offer to go into detail if necessary. Definitely there should be no "destructive criticism" like "dude u r stupid, I could do that in 10 seconds". Constructive Criticism only plz. Anyone can do this, even if they have no experience, and it should be upon the rest of us to help less experience ppl along.

Alright, if anyone thinks this picture is too hard/too easy/just right, plz reply and tell me your thoughts. I dont have a very ood grasp of your skills, although I tried to make it easy.

In the picture, there is a hand grasping the weapon. You don't have to model this(obviously difficult) although I place no restrictions on what you can or can't create. If you want to make a weapon similar to this, by all means, go ahead.

ps. if you know where this comes from, you're a real nerd (like me)
