My goal for 2014 is to be able to load more then and render more then a Null character :thumbupboth:

Learn to rig some items I have created or purchased vs using the cloth room that are used for illustrating some stories for friends. Have a complex series of scenes coming up where it is 6 people sitting around a confereence table and draping cloth on 6 figures if the scene shifts slightly and all you see of the character is the abdomen up, it would speed things up if I move just arms, hands or change necks and heads if the cloth was conforming vs re-drapping everything again.You have to move the hair and or jewelry if the head or arms move and that takes a lot of time to get all the details right just for those.

That said I much perfer the cloth room and convert and lot of confroming to props and drape currently especially if you can see the hip or abdomen down.

Improve my indoor scene lighting techniques. Outdoor is a snap with BB's Skydome and some light sets I have created or modified that came with other packages.

Set up my new MacPro that is coming in February with a bunch of external storage arrays and reorganize my runtimes for the 9,876,654,187 time. :blink:
