Tom Roe - Lessons Learned

Through the grace of Jesus Christ I am forgiven of all of my sins and am therefore worthy to stand before my Father in Heaven. God's plan for my life is being revealed to me and this Web Log will document my journey on a week by week basis and provide insight to anyone who may be interested in what kind of person I am becoming. God only knows where this path will lead. I am a competent writer and I hope some people may be entertained and even enlightened through the work the Spirit does here.

Today I used Lightwave 3D 7.5 to complete a new character. I call it TEK-BOT. It's a robot character (duh) and it looks pretty cool. I'll post some artwork tomorrow, including an animated walk sequence. It took me longer than expected to rig this guy. Since he is articulated with many separate objects, I used rotational limits rather than bones to create the basic setup. That only took me 1.5 hours. The NULL/Inverse kinematics setup took four or five hours, because I'm not very good at it yet. After the third try, I got it! Well, close enough to animate anyway. I'll set up some more animations tomorrow. This is fun. It's been a long time since I had the chance to animate. I want to get good at this, it's such a feeling of power, muahahaahaahaha! Oh, forgive me a cruel chuckle, mm, power, yessss. It's ALIVE!!!
