It has already been pointed out that since the function inside of the integral doesn't have an x in it, when you integrate and evaluate at the chosen limits, you end up with a nonsensical (infinite) number. So, no need if anyone was going to call that out...

I don't like that the top was clipped down to the letter edge, but I guess the main image is supposed to fit some odd dimensions for a youtube banner, so...

Re: TaraAbeBill Terrible Trio 1_1

This is a pretty ambitious piece, LOTS going on! I'd say BEYOND LOTS going on and extremely ambitious. But, I think for some experimental work this does a really good job of showcasing the ideas and style options. I would say that isolating a specific style would be of great benefit because you alr...

NSFW? spare time reproductive anatomy diagram animation.

A friend saw this image and posted "I want them animated, walking around." http://www.datosfreak.org/site_media/upload/tamano_pene_clitoris.jpg So... UHEE8RZFt5Q So, yeah...there's that. Sorry. But it was the first time I rigged a still image for animation. Didn't spend any time breaking a...

Short new clip from the ZHS trailer.

Tables have turned. Just a short little shot of some ladies of ZHS in conflict.

Re: RigTest (dynamics + smartbones) and/or Dancing Cheerlead

@ruscular3d Yeah, I think I pretty much agree. I'm consistently frustrated after the fact that I don't tend to push exaggeration with my style, and the only excuse I can offer is that I know it's a weakness, but a lot of what I'm sharing is test work and hopefully I can push further with future fini...

Simple but effective, I think. I'm sure Sean has some re-evaluating to do.

Re: Horse-Raptor and stuff

Fantastic stuff all around. I liked this post based on the subject line alone. My concern was that the character felt top-heavy and without a longer tail with some kind of mass it would need to tilt more upright, but selgin's approach seems to negate that by expertly shifting weight during the motio...

Re: Check out lwaxana's Rig! :)

Very nice! Love the design, and it works really well with this rig. I particularly like seeing a full-spine approach, which I've never used but oft considered.

Also, I always like seeing someone else label a layer "Back Hair" since I do it despite that it just sounds wrong to me :)

Re: RigTest (dynamics + smartbones) and/or Dancing Cheerlead

...though they happen a bit too slowly, like it's zero gravity or something. Yeah, I agree. I think the settings for hair sway are a little easier to get looking right. Trying to simulate malleable larger mass reacting to gravity is trickier. Although, I think part of the issue is that the speed of...

RigTest (dynamics + smartbones) and/or Dancing Cheerleaders!

I've been working on trying to standardize the styles of rigging with my most main characters, or at least find some kind of consistency. One of the things I think has been working effectively is using bone dynamics in combination with smart bones. Tonight I was just playing around with characters t...

Re: Classroom Shot

Perhaps it just needs to be darker then. Maybe with some highlights around the edge to make it look thicker. Yeah, I agree. I'll play around with it a little more and see what I can come up with. I mean, technically it's a hole in the floor, so it's a little tricky. Also is that Dexter? :) the sign...

Re: Not an exciting clip, but ZHS is back in the works! :)

Yes! Thank you neeters! Wasn't sure where this stuff originated. A lot of the older "practical" rigging solution discussion has definitely fallen off after the advent of smartbones, but I will say that I think the technique and tools of mandcon and ponysmasher are still definitely worth ex...
