I made a big mistake by not saving my file at regular intervals. i have inadvertantly lost my morpth targets for my face.The good news is i made my character a body whitch i am going to rig i will have to redo my morpth targets.oh well lesson learned

this is a simple emotion experiment .I wanted to show all the emotions i colud get with my face using morpth targets. I think i have most covered and even tried more complex emotions like glad and dissapointed.At the moment i am modelling a body for this character .I will then bone it and have a fully rigged character including the face ready for animation. I think I am accuring more skills and developing a deeper understanding of 3ds max more to come .

this is another experiment with trying to get my character to speak . in this little vid he says hay do you want some. i think it looks pretty good but needs to be tweaked .

and this is the short animation .of dave saying hello but in a realistic lab enviroment .i am not so happy about the quality of my video once imported into blogger all my vids seen to be much lower quality.All that aside i am pleased with my dnad concept.







this is a lab i desighned for my dnad blackhole animation i built it up in 3ds max from a simple sketch. I then spent time adding textures to get it looking more lablike.I then merged my original dave animation into the file. i am now almost ready to get this animation running .i just need to add a few finishing touches.

this is a character i made for a lipsync excersise for one of my tutors i polly moddeled the face from scratch based on a drawing.This was a really painstaking and lenghty process but id say it was worth it .because of the extra detail im my character i am going to create extra morpth targets to show emotion etc .
