Exporting Animation always results in something without bookmarks for me. I think this is due to detaching the rig. Is there any way I can keep the bookmarks when detaching the rig? In a sense it should just be stored in the FK rig, but when I detach the IK rig it just gives me motion without bookmarks (in the graph editor). I'd like this so that I can copy paste the animation in the graph editor, without bookmarks it just overrides / doesn't copy at all (with running/walk cycles for example).

Thanks in advance!

Is there somewhere we could evaluate your work? Maybe even a WIP of the current project to get an idea what the job will be like?

You should share your portofolio.. that way a musician may have a look at your work and can decide whether he wants to help out or not! What you're asking right now is the wrong way around. Good luck with your project nonetheless!

Memories often are very specific, most not so relevant details are quite blurry, e.g. the background or what is going on around. A nice depth of field could do the trick. Use a nice depth of field for it (hefty aperature and 256> dof samples). See what you like.

People also often make it black and white. Another thing you could consider is that memories are often first person, could make for some interesting camera work!

Good luck with you project :)

Exactly what was said above me. As a main animation tool however the graph editor has some serious advantages over the motion editor. Seriously, the option to move keypoints around and alter the curve to the finest details is something you can't really do in the motion editor.

Motion capture is motion capture. The one who preforms the motion is called an actor, if you are the one doing it you should be credited as actor. If you alter the motion capture sequences you are editing, if you are adding motion to it you are animating. I like motion capture for realistic projects, but I can enjoy an artist's animation style a lot too.

Besides, motion capture can really save you a lot of time and may have stunning results. But pure motion capture is definitely NOT animation, hence they call it different.

I don't get it how people lose their save files so often. CTRL+S all the way as long as it says BETA in the top bar :D Anyhow: nice work! I agree with the gravity issues, but that is just really hard to get right, do it if you have some extra time to spend. Same goes for the girl not looking at heavy, but it is a random video so it doesn't really impact that much.

And as always, save as often as you can! (hahaha)

A community story (CS) is, in this format, an SFM series based upon comments. Every comment equals one episode. When needed I fill the gaps, if I get a complete script then it just will be as I interpret it. A maybe more clear explanation is my previous CS on YT: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9iNk3hzhym9Fmswygh9L4IiPAP14-U-K

As usual I kick off with a video starting the story, to spark the imagination (or something :p).
So here is the video and have fun making up a dramatic, moving story for me to animate :D

Third time I typed this... ffs steam mann up!

Make some fun tunes and publish them :) Simple melodies, ambient/bg music, etc.!

Hi Jimer,

I was wondering: if you're doing some small liners, why not publish them as a package? Splicing is one way to get TF2 characters to talk, but if you're going to do some custom voice acting, why not collect it all into one package? Of course you're getting the credit where appropiate. Kinda helps the rest too. (TF2 content may not be used commercially, so nobody will make money of it in that manner)
