damn been a long time man - I just checked this forum today to see how things were going as well. Working a ton here too! Family and all that.

does anyone from Avalon still play?  Or did they all go on to pursue a career in gay porn?

I hid all the soda at work at told my boss it was gone after i accidentally fell asleep.


(context: i work 3rd shift alone)

Yes, I'm a huge loser and spend most of my time playing online games.

The post and your effort sounded impressive until I realized the same thing you posted as the last sentence.  Hang in there buddy, someday something new will come into your life that you can obsess over

If the bipeds can be exported as an anm8 format... Maybe.  But itd be client side.  And very unlikely.

in case you have no idea what the title means here is a quick run down:

I exported the male wood elf model/texture using 3dRipperDX and then I took it into 3d studio max where I cleaned the model and rigged it using the standard Biped rig. Then I exported the rig to Motionbuilder where I hooked up my kinect to do real time motion capture and then had to map to the woodelf.

I was using my wireless mouse and television to do the capturing since my wife / kid had left for the evening (FREEDOM!). I've attached some pictures as a proof of concept.

What do I plan on doing with this? I don't know. I can easily capture motion onto the rig and animate EQ chars doing things... heck maybe even in a rendered environment like the the 3d fan art thread? Really I have no idea.

final fantasy tactics was by far the best one.

having just joined the ranks of parenthood I would give a big middle finger to my job if the trade off meant I would gain information leading to the whereabouts of my kid.

I wish all the best to your family - nobody should have to go through what you are.

Crab,  you are the EZ beer guru.  Whats on your current drink list?  Need some reccomendations.  Been on a beer budget so its been high life and four loko for a few months.
