I'm guessing it is not CAT for cat (feline)... isn't it?
btw, did the gif help you any bit on your creations?

SaphireNishi In reply to Joetheone [2013-04-03 21:55:41 +0000 UTC]

hehe, no.. CAT stands for Character Animation Toolkit.. its one of the 3 ways we can rig a character inside 3ds max..

i havent done walk cycles for a while cause im focusing on the rigging now.. but once i get the rigging done ill be back at walk cycles too and then ill definitely start using that gif too.. i just dont like animating in poser that much.. the program is to weird and it doesnt have all the option 3ds max has.. so it a lot more fun to animate inside 3ds max.. so i have make my character rigs in 3ds max so i can start animating them fully in 3ds max too.. just like i did her with the jumping bunny/cat..

thewhiteboardist In reply to SaphireNishi [2013-04-02 14:29:19 +0000 UTC]

It just looks like there are tendons on the inside parts of its feet/ankles when it jumps. Just a small detail. You don't see them when its standing still. I was guessing as to why.

SaphireNishi In reply to thewhiteboardist [2013-04-02 15:07:54 +0000 UTC]

oh, well thats because of bad modeling from my side.. there is weird edge flow going on at the feet, and that results in this weird effect on the feet.. i never really knew why edge flow was so important.. but now i know

Dariaux In reply to ??? [2013-04-02 13:01:24 +0000 UTC]

were the stretched "muscles" in his feet intentional, or a "clipping" issue?

Good to see your still at it ^^

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SaphireNishi In reply to Dariaux [2013-04-02 13:37:48 +0000 UTC]

no it not intentional.. i think its from bad modeling actually but im not sure.. the edge flow is kind weird on that place which give this weird effect.. i think i kinda messed up on the foot.. but then again i learn a lot with this one again

Dariaux In reply to SaphireNishi [2013-04-03 09:34:44 +0000 UTC]

well, it looked like a decent attempt at "muscle tension" honestly

didnt look that bad ^^

SaphireNishi In reply to Dariaux [2013-04-03 09:37:04 +0000 UTC]

hehe.. well im still trying to figure out how the whole rigging thing works.. so intentional muscle tension is still far away..
