This is a workspace screenshot I took of Maya 2010 (trial) running on my PC. It has the fully muscle-rigged model of Unktehila (as created by Brelo) taken from its original [3DS Max] version, and spent weeks of volunteer work(!) to create what you see here in [Maya].

This is no small feat. Not only did the model need its skeleton re-created, a chore in itself, but it needed a new relationship of skeletal movements to deformations in the skin to be defined. In other words, the forearm and biceps bulge you see here are strictly a function of moving the arm appropriately. I had only move the joint. Maya computed the rest. Instantaneously, without rendering time.

Unktehila is alive thanks to this rigging, done by  shark-blade. I only need commission Maya (and 3DS Max if needs be) animators to produce more fun flix with him.

So, I am asking for Animators - Maya or 3DS Max, lemme know if you have openings... can you produce another 10mb flash animation like brelo did? (NSFW link!) My first project would be to do a posing routine similar, fresh but different, waist up or (better) clothed so as to be work safe.

But I'd be quite happy to have roles cheap or free in animation projects you have, PM me when the talk has to involve money, getting the model to you, etc.
