Tobora had some problems with the lower arms - now not more!!!
:shock:

The main body has some bleeding into the arm. Click the main body bone while in weight paint and you will see the green on the arms. Remove the green and all is good.

Play with Tobora yourself - make your own talking cartoon!

Well I look forward to viewing your cartoon, meanwhile if Fred doesn't mind I am going to apply his tutorial to another model. I will upload the Blender file when I am finished.

I believe Fred is real asset, he just needs to work on his communication skills.

Thanks a lot Wacky Blend and Evol Child!

You can make Shape keys for the mouth and eyes for a character with a mirror modifier but!!! you cannot apply the mirror modifier.

You have to take away Shape keys before applying a mirror modifier!!!. And then make new Shape keys for the mouth and eyes.

Thanks a lot Wacky Blend!

How have you done the lipsync?
:roll:

Hope on more stories!!!

I think they just looped the video. I see spots where the mouth moves rapidly and the eyes blink. I think it is about a 10 second video looped over and over.

So am I correct Wacky?

Tips!
Use two characters, some Sketchup model as a stage and music!!!

Yes. Evol Child hit the nail on the head. I recorded the file while I watch the robot loop in my media player and tried my best to get in sync with the mouth movements but I just didn't get it right all the time. But that was my first time using the new Blender.

I am a bit rusty from college and whatnot. But not bad for a come back.

How to make explosions in Blender?
The three towers - WTC 1 - WTC 2 and WTC 7 - is a Sketchup file - exported as a .kmz file - version 4 - renamed to a .zip file - unpacked to a .dae file - imported to Blender.

To explode a tower like WCT 7 you have to right click it to choose it and then go to Particles and type in some values. That is all!

Why not say something - tell a story! Let us search for love and truth 10 YEARS AFTER 911 2001!!!
And the result!
