so i have a month off from school and work so im gonna need some time to kill.. just finished maya Nparticles video so i'd like to incorperate that in my scene and finely use realflow in a larger scene (i still dont like maya's water simulations but at least they are trying :) ) and hopefully i will get something looking pretty good and i'll see if i can't get started this afternoon :)

Sounds good fubar. I just finished that video as well...some great tutorials on there especially for liquids which will come in handy. Think for once Im gonna participate as well. Good luck!

[Anm8or]

alright! so glad I am not the only one participating. I have not seen the video (jealousy here!), but am trying to use particles as well. . .I love RealFlow and think it adds much to any scene. . .good luck and do you think you could make some bread pudding for the brunch?

[fubar1124@hotmail.com]

haha its a good video and as far as bread pudding goes probly not :P i'll leave that one up to you.i was gonna start the other day but my new maya 2009 render passes video came in :S so i just had to watch it :) so i'll be getting started soon. im starting to think im gonna do an animation and im hoping lots of people will participate this month!!!!!

[johnny]

Very nice modeling and rendering. Can't wait to see the brunch :)

[fubar1124@hotmail.com]

So I had a pretty bad issue with Maya that I had finely resolved :S turns out mental ray hates GIF images and for whatever reason would not render anything I finely figured out this out and I can finely get back to finishing this up I think some late nights are going to be happening if I wan't to get an animation happening...Lets just hope realflow decides to be nice to me :D

[fubar1124@hotmail.com]

here is an update since I got mental ray working :P

[DjVoyager]

Excellent! The ceiling is a bit low but otherwise the render looks good.

[johnny]

Woah, some real good renders there fubar...hope it goes to plan for the deadline :)

[fubar1124@hotmail.com]

Yeah me to haha i'm just waiting for my computer to finish rendering it :P slow and steady wins the race

[fubar1124@hotmail.com]

the way this is going its going im gonna be up late tonight to finish this haha im at 98 frames from yeasterday at about 9:00pm and its 430 now. With 300 frames I think I'm going to have to cut this animation short =[ I still have to put it in After effects and upload it :S

[DjVoyager]

Post at least a still image by tomorrow for the poll. I can add the link to your animation when its ready, though hopefully soon. Good luck.

[fubar1124@hotmail.com]

I'll have one for you tonight dj im only gonna render about 200 of the 300 frames I just took a look from 1- 100 and wow I amaze myself sometimes haha

[Anm8or]

cant wait to see what you have. . .hopefully you had a great experience with this, and judging from the amazement you learned a bit too!

[fubar1124@hotmail.com]

[DjVoyager]
