I spent all yesterday animating "Bruton" (AKA the DAZ freak) you wont recognize him in "bounding box" mode in C4DXl but he animates very well these are all hand keyframed in poser no imported BVH was used

Very good job on the body movements.

Very nice job! I'd love to see it in non-box mode. (I know...I'll have to wait a year for it to render :-) ). Excellent!

Wolf, a bit of advice. I am not sure from the render, but you should break the spline when he is coming down from the jump and change it to linear. It looks like he is slowing down just before he hits the ground, which is not the way things will happen, you know, gravity and all that. Otherwise it is excellent.

Thanks numanoid glad to see someone else here who has actaully opened the graph editor :-)

Looks around sheepishly. Graph editor? What's that? LOL, only joking. I use Poser for animation all the time. Problem is I am getting really frustrated with the crashes. Yesterday Poser crashed six times in under an hour. I got so frustrated I have been trawling the net to investigate purchasing Maya. Sad, that I have to want to spend all that money when I already have a program that theoretically can do everything I want, if it just wouldn't crash all the time. I am going to hold off on Maya till I see what Daz Studio can do, and if that is not up to scratch I am going to have to buy Maya, spend 300 hours learning it and most probably buy the Reiss pluging to allow me to use all my Poser characters. Or maybe a miracle will happen and the SR4 actually stops the crashes if it ever comes out.

I thought I looked great! Very good animation. I especially like the lighting. How did you get such a look? The shadows that the Box-man casts on the box was very crisp. Any tips on what your set-up is? Thanks, love to see animation!

I renderd them in Cinema4DXl with one large area light overhead and three point lights with soft shadows. thanks ;-)
