Swooop,
I have used the face DUF file already on a DAZ import in 3DX. Works great. Is that the one you are referring to?

I am at the very beginning and can make a worm. :D Like I said before, this isn't going to happen real fast until I am able to focus on it 100% for a few days and lately I have been pretty busy doing non computer stuff. My money making business stuff is priority so I have to take care of orders first. :) They only happen when I want to do something else of course. I have been in Carrara and still looking around and figuring out stuff. I will all the keyboard commands were the same as iClone as far as zoom etc. I need to see if I can change that.

PSD,
I am not planning on getting Autodesk. I won't pirate it either as I also have developed software in the past and I spent the first part of (months) figuring out how I was going to protect it from pirates. ;) I will use what I have in the time that it takes. I won't be very good at anything 3D for a while. I am working around the various pieces of the puzzle so I have a good grasp before I make even my first video. Lots of different parts and lighting and cameras haven't even been learned yet. :w00t:

sorry for jumping in @theschemer, I just want to make sure that swoop is a better teacher to you than he has been to me! -sniffle- :crying:

a good idea requires a good presentation, that I completely agree. A bad presentation can ruin a great idea iinstantly.


but if you ain't got 4,000 dollars and a year of not making income to learn it, there are other tools, don't quit...make it happen. You might just re-invent the wheel in the process.
Nothing is impossible, there was and is life beyond autodesk.

if you have that time, and money - well hot damn.

Otherwise don't quit, Make it happen!!

no matter how much swoop says it's nothing good without autodesk.

if you have a vision, i don't care if you have to use toothpicks, make it happen!!

and DON'T pirate autodesk to make it happen, it only cheapens the win!!

PSD,
I am not looking for an office job, that is for sure. :P I just want to learn the "big picture" on how all aspects of 3D work together, and know how to make from scratch (if I can) or at least mod all the pieces. I can make simple props and mod some stuff and would like to be able to make clothes that fit a character and make a character from scratch, and rig it of course. And all the video editing and lighting and on and on. Importing characters for DAZ too. I just want the know how to do it all. Of course I will develop my own ways of getting it done and some ways will work better for me etc, but I have to see how its done first. Then go from there. Just here to learn. :cool: I am more of a hobbyist as I do many other things but this is very important to me to learn this stuff. :)

sorry to jump in, but that's the difference between how a techie thinks and how a creative / producer thinks.

a techie looks to get hired for doing c++

a creative producer looks to get a project done - even if they have to build the software to get it done, like disney and pixar. <----they are the innovators looking for new ways to do things.

all the greats that create "NEW" things - do it that way - bruce lee, another example ...the way to master martial arts is NOT to spend your entire life studying judo, that's NOT the essence of martial arts. - but if you want to be a judo instructor, it is.

swoop is the path of a techie, ...nothing wrong with that ...but don't confuse it for being creative and innovative.

did you come to 3D to learn to use computers to entertain, or did you come to 3D to get an office job.

swoop being a techie doesn't bug me, but insisting it's the only way does because on a creative front, it's considered conformity and stagnation, lack of progress. I want to see leaders come out of this forum, YOU are the guys that keep people like swoop employed. :cool:

Right again,
Multiple apps is ok if they are all about different things (photoshop, html etc) but learning multiples of the same subject can make a head explode. I know, I have tried it. :hehe:

edit: But on the other hand, until you find the app you like and you will use, you do start learning on multiple apps and a lot of things are the same on each like terminology (parts of it anyhow) are usually industry standards.
