| Looks very very nice I like the dark menus and stuff :D | 
| 
 | ||
| Excellent. Looks good so far. Doggie | 
| 
 | ||
| Great. It nice to see this as CharacterFX progress seems none existant :( Jason. | 
| 
 | ||
| Then again CFX doesn't require much more Feature IMHO. Yes, this looks very! promising. I wonder where do you guys get your B3D Animation Fileformat Descriptions from? Looks 1A-top-wesseltonish. | 
|

| Yeah, i agree. Looks fabulous :D There are alot of tools coming out for blitz right now, all made in blitz i believe. Build your meshes with quill. Animate them with this cool looking package, then use tattoo to skin 'em. |

| Lookin' good... but perhaps a little *too* dark. | 
|

| Ross - I reccommend to use this Order: Model UV-Map/Skin Animate You still can edit the Textures in the End, but most UV-Mappers cannot save Animated Files. However. | 
| 
 | ||
|  The colour schemes will be totally user configurable - here's a 'lighter' view.... | 
| 
 | ||
| I like the one view thing and the big points for the vertexs. All looks very obvious and clean :) @jfk, thanks for the tip :) | 
| 
 | ||
| looks great , well done so far. | 
| 
 | ||
| How are you rendering the edges like that btw?  Looks gr8. | 
| 
 | ||
| If you get the Walk Designer/Generator working then I'll buy a copy. It'll have to do running as well though ;) | 
| 
 | ||
| Looking excellent | 
| 
 | ||
|  Posing the Robot ! | 
| 
 | ||
| Gimme Gimme Gimme ;-) If you need a beta tester, count me in | 
| 
 | ||
| I wouldn't mind having a good look at it either ;-) |

| I'm hoping to get something to send out to anyone who'd like to help with testing  this weekend - I just need to finish off the basic FK animation tool - the IK is going to take a bit longer. I don't expect this to be a CharacterFX beater from the very start although I do have plans to keep adding features that will hopefully make it as useful in the future. I am concentrating on making it as easy as possible to use. I will release a 'Basic Tools' version for free this will include everything except for the IK tools and the Walk Generator. @Psionic - I'll be sending you a full version when its finished in return for the many contributions you have made to the Blitz community in way of Models and Tutorials - thanks mate ! |
