The rig looks like fun. BTW, is this an online school?

I don’t pretend to be an expert on how good Blender was before the overhaul, but even the latest version is missing many things that have been standard in Max for years. For example Blender really needs a character animation module that let’s you just drop in skeletons and apply motions to them. Not just human skeletons either. Something like “Biped” in Max. There are other examples, but to be taken seriously, we all need to view the new Blender as starting over from scratch. Blender is now where Max was years ago.

This is meant as constructive criticism. I’m a Blender convert. I’ve used Max for years, but I’m spending hours every day doing tutorials for Blender now.

There is one thing I should have mentioned in my previous post. If I do my graphics on Blender and sit down with a client who is spending a million dollars on a 30 second commercial, and he says “what program are you using? I haven’t seen it before.” And I reply “Blender.” If he knows it’s a free program, than I’m gonna have to launch into an explanation into why I’m not using some expensive software suite. Free, is not necessarily a good thing in the minds of execs in the “Biz.” They view expensive as good, and a sign that you are delivering the best work possible.
