Looks beautiful. ^_^

ffmpeg can make simple .swfs pretty easily. The "-q:v 3" is setting video quality of 3 on a scale of 1-31, where 1 is highest quality.

ffmpeg -i video_in.mp4 -q:v 3 video_out.swf

thanks :)

That looks very life like, excellent!

thank you :)

thank you :)

Is this just using normal bones for rigging? I've always found shapes like this difficult to rig without the joints messing up or the outer part of the upper leg looking awful, but this is looking pretty nice. I guess it doesn't help that the rigging tools in 3DS Max might as well be "select your vertices and type in the weighting" (and I can't figure out how to adjust the skeleton position without completely remaking all the skin weights) so it takes way too much effort to re-tool the rigging.

Yeah, its pretty much just bones. I did do a bit of trickery on the calf. I added a second bone to do a bit of stretching and squashing.

And yeah, nowadays I don't bother with envelopes anymore, I value all vertices manually.
I'm pretty sure I'll have to do a bit of modification on the thigh rigging, I will probably add a few more bones to the upper leg if it doesn't look good when he twists them.

Yeah, I've never been able to use envelopes without absolute madness ensuing. I'd really just like to be able to, maybe, paint weights on with a 3D brush or something like that.

I tried the paint weights feature once, I have not enjoyed the experience. :)

Esta llenado muy bien el rediseño del personaje, podría ayudarte diciendo algunos detalles que he observado y tengo apuntado para que mejores al personaje lo mas parecido al original.

No, its enough that my obsession has driven me this far. I don't need someone else comming in and pushing it further. Or I'll never finish.
