Eric, you cheeky monkey!

Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag. Eric has found the client's area on my website, it's:

http://www.palmhousedesign.co.uk/RBFRS/

for anyone who wants to browse it. I did the pencil sketches first and got full approval for them before I started modelling.

In answer to your earlier question, Eric, if you want to start character modelling, then just do it! Sit down with a pencil, sketch out some ideas, and when you're happy, produce a front view and a side view of your character.

You can then use box modelling in Max to create the character mesh. There are tons of tutorials on the web for doing it. Start with something simple like maybe an M & M character (which is all Bleep! is, really) and go from there. I guess it helps if you can draw, but perserverence is worth almost as much...

I'd never done facial morphs or body rigs before I took on this job, I just learnt as I went, all from the Max tutorials. It's pretty slow and painstaking, but worth it when you have a character that you can give any facial expression and pose/animate in any position!

There are members of this forum whose character work is light years ahead of mine and I'm sure they'll disagree with much of the above, but that's what I did, and it's working out okay so far...

Lol...Oops....What I meant was...Can't wait to see that Policewoman....lol...Sorry bout that...Of course I would have never endulged such info to the general public....hehe....I actually wanted to see your website, but it said you are no longer trading or something.....Then I figured I would type in the other letters....and voila....Great stuff...Love to see the creation process and how it all came about.

Yeah, my freelance business is about to be re-branded. I was doing far too much website design *YAWN* so I've put up a holding page saying I'm no longer trading in case some of my ex-clients happen along and see I'm still working.

I'm only accepting fun jobs from now on, no more html for me. When I want mundane tasks, I go to work

By the way, the Staywise site is up now:
