OMG it's 4.10am and my animation is still rendering :( i still have to put all my mocies together and add music. Then at 8.20am get up and walk in to uni for a 4 hour lecture in which a very tired me will present my animation.

It's all been going wrong here. My 'copy' of premiere has funked up it won't let me use the mpeg 4 codec that i have to use. Now using virtual dub to put them together but this means no fading transitions :( . One of my renders failed twice which means i have to leave it out.

My presentation is a critical review of my project so far. (so far it's looking shoddy) They are going to rip me apart :( i mean yeah the smoke and the lighting rocks but cause of teh transitions i'm screwed. I was on a first for the project so far now this is going to bring me down to like a 2.1 then i just gotta hope the final version gets me another first.

My brain hurts. I have learnt that 3d animation is too unstable to leave to the night before. Theres a lesson there kidds.

If i get the time tomorrow i will post a link to my animation. It's only 30 seconds and it's for a bbc-i channel Spark. Which i happen to do student stuff for.

Well off to finish it all. Had a rant feel abit better head hurts though.

Very_metal do you know of any good tutorials for animating a character?

i want to get this moving around but i didn't really want to start moving it around until i checked with you about the best way to get it started, it is just the basic model and i havn't got a clue about rigging or anything like that.

the joys of getting a private placement meant forms were there to be mocked!

Hahaha, good point - why aren't you working in the porn industry if you love it so much? Unless you count downloading 15-second teasers as 'work'...

I think the only job you could get there is as a gay porn 'fluffer'.

if all you're doing is looking then you can't love it THAT much.

bug thing looks good mate!

as for fur, you can either use Maya, which has good hair/fur/cloth features, or you can buy max 7 and get the upgrade service to get 7.5, which has hair, etc included.
failing that, search for free/shareware plugins, there's some surprisingly good stuff out there.

If anyone knows how to make convincing fur, pray do tell.

Meh, you don't need a full on degree to learn stuff like this. Just a good tutorial book, the internet and some creativity.

That guy has genuine ti ts. Scary.
