[raptormeathrk]

[Dragpk7]

@raptormeathrk its called 3ds max and go to autodesk.com to buy it or get a free trial.

[Subzero7899x]

you worry a lot no offense

[drifta321]

@Subzero7899x why say that? i dont think he cares tbh...

[Xenowar15]

I love this tutorial

[ucantw1n10]

On other thing I would like to know, is how to animate the faces of the models.

[dammilo]

get him some new vegas, please!!!

[Homeworkbad]

I would totally try to do this, but as of yet I only have Blender 3D for my modeling and animating. If i were to get 3ds Max, I would. Oh well.

[Zebigboss]

Thanks you really!

Your tutorials are the best I saw on the internet about how to animate. They really helped me a lot!

As I send you in a pm, if you need some help I'll be really happy to help you in coding or modeling(if you don't know already xD)

[wownabril]

This is indeed a very awesome tutorial but, is there a trial version of this program so we can get our hands on the animating?

[thejazzman9475]

@wownabril yeah you can get a 30 day trial just by downloading the client off their site I think, you have to give them some details is about it I believe.

[wownabril]

@thejazzman9475 Ill better get to it, and thanks for tours they are indeed awesome.

[Gonamez]

Do you think you can do a short video of the basic important steps and tips in character animation. Like that when the character moves his leg he kind of slides it. Also that you make a keyframe every 3 frame. Two things that I have learned from your tuts :)

[thejazzman9475]

@Gonamez Yeah I might do an 'animation techniques' vid

[CommanderPT]

I'm getting the hang of animation now. It's great fun. I got an animation on my profile page that I want to show you but youtube won't let me link it here.

Will you ever make a tutorial on how to compile the animation for source? And possibly replacing a taunt or something simmilar. I asked you in a PM about this but I figured that you have a rather cramped PM box at the moment.

[thejazzman9475]

@CommanderPT Yeah I'll definitely do that soon :) and Ill take a look at your channel now

[CommanderPT]

@thejazzman9475 Thank you sire.

[eladbari]

@thejazzman9475 So..no blocking..no pre-planning? you just animate by intuition?

dont u get a clutter of keyframes? not knowing what to erase when u bump into a problem? [graph editor usage..etc..]

[SoEffingRandom1]

y aren't you famous?

[Robfire10]

@SoEffingRandom1 Because he isn't selfish and stuck up enough ;D

[Evaldas256]

Awesome.

[XNinjaCrumpetX]

Wow...You should REALLY become a animator for VAVLVe

[Robfire10]

@XNinjaCrumpetX I agree in a way, but Jazzman's animation style is "different" from VALVe's realistic animation. Jazzman's animations are very very smooth and amazing, and they also have a tad of exaggeration in the movement of the characters. I really enjoy that "exaggeration" in the moves, and it matches TF2's cartoony yet realistic feel. However, from what I've seen from Jazzman, I do think he can also produce realistic animations that would fit VALVe's style. Nice Suggestion!

[tehMuffinMan100]

@XNinjaCrumpetX

He works for Lion Head Studios

[ogzwqe]

@XNinjaCrumpetX he is already employed at a AAA company xD

[lBeepinl]

very nice, i know you dont use maya, but would you have any suggestions for a compiler for it? (smd importer/exporter)

[thejazzman9475]

@lBeepinl try putting this into google (I cant link in here for some reason) valve developer wiki + maya

[666crackhure666]

@thejazzman9475 try replacing the "dots" in the url with something eg. (dot)
