The symbols like the spirals etc are for the animator, when you move those, the 3d neytiri model will move.
This way the animator doesnt have to animate all the joints but just those items. Its a nice way to make animating easier, faster and alot more fun. Ill show later on  Havent made an enviroment yet, better finish this first  No i wont be making anything for the avatar pc game, they came so close to making it awesome, only to rush it into a mediocre game, a shame really. Lovely world but character development? and why did the Navi look so weird. oh well I still enjoyed it, but only the fan side of me. Dont think any work/mod is being done on it also? Will be doing a short animation tho, just no idea what yet, haha so the wrong way of starting a project, oh well. Last edited by fierox; 04-18-2011 at 12:10 AM.

I guess the game just didn't have enough of a playerbase to really inspire much. It's a shame, the game was so rushed, and it could have been great
 The Na'vi models and textures were just bad (and for some reason, the player was worse than the NPCs), yet Pandora itself was amazing, especially in the night part. Don't even get people started on the language

The environment was definitely brilliant but the Na'vi looked cartoonish. I know that ubisoft could do better if they were given the time.

Well another part done, yay!
The skeleton and animation controls are done! Learned some cool new things, been through lots of tutorials, pdfs and old notes of my own and everything works! Was a real study this, pfew! Finally also documented every step into a little manual for my own so this will go lots faster next time The red icons all over her are all the controls needed to animate her, they just need to be dragged, rotated etc and she will move accordingly, should make things so much easier and faster. The right shows all the joints in her skeleton.  Next step is weighting her skin (tell what part of the skin goes with what joint) and create all the facial emotions, like laugh, blink, sad, etc.

Thx for keeping interest while progress is slow.
Im mostly busy with weighting how her skin is attached and influenced by her joints. Well, so much has changed since the last time i did this im actually mostly learning and trying And it has been lovely weather here, had to get some sun aswell, sorry Below a quick render of a known and quite extreme pose, its a good test of how the skin holds out. Skin looks oke in normal poses, this shows im not quite done yet Its just a work in progress tho, not done with this part yet. Also just noticed her head looks rather big and her legs small in the render. Pretty sure that has todo with the lens part of how the camera works. I use the standard settings and things get a little fish-eye-ish now and then.  Maya has its own muscle system on board. With this joints and muscles actually drive the skin. Experimented with that in past but now its a very extensive built in feature. Doing some tests with that atm, looks awesome and will bring things just a bit further! Anyway its mosly study but thats also why i started this. On the positive side, should i start with Jake later things would go so much faster. Also did some facial blends already, cause its fun to do (facial features/poses) and a nice break from the skin trouble above. Not finished by far but ill give u one to get an idea Below is 75% sad face (mouth area), it works by controlling sliders to mix different faces/emotes. Kinda like a mixing board and when done properly alot of fun  hope to have more progress soon! Last edited by fierox; 04-30-2011 at 01:45 AM. Reason: clarifying
