I will never forget when my kids and I did a Dolphin Encounter in Hawaii, and one of the dolphins swam up to me and looked right at me. I waved to here and she looked at me, winked, and waved back with her flipper. I felt like Alien Encounters, right here on earth. We HAVE to learn how to communicate with these creatures!

Hello Mike L!!

You know a was a little bit angry when I wrote the comments, because I thought, how it must be to be in Tim´s position and I realy believe that Tim is a very honest guy and you know how much that is worth in life, well I do.

My comment really sounded a little bit, let´s say, strong and strict, kinda. After I read it next day I thought, whoo did I realy write that?

What I realy wanted to communicate was that, instead of immediatly jumping up like angry monkeys (including myself) we should try to learn just thinking positive about others even if they make mistakes.

I think this community rocks, since I´m using Blender and all the resources offered by you guys (I look up the Blender site almost every day) and I´m always happy to finding knew stuff.

One last thing for you Mike L.

I like to draw, and I am doing it as a Hobby for a couple of years know, if that is of any use to you then I´m offering you my help, for free from blenderhead to blenderhead.

Don´t expect to much, just a small participation. Can´t promise you anything but I´m open for everything

@ RedBirdiii
it happens with me too, and also with my friends.
I don`t have a deep info about why some videos give you that error message:
"We're sorry, this video is no longer available."
reload the page and it works,
and if you have time send to youtube about this.

Hi
Tim cant resist posting this, LOL
why not try to do this in blender? after all most of the tools we did not have, we have now.
And I mast say, some replay on the Tim`s post,
If Tim really posting Something off topic I don`t think some one have the BALLS to Go say:
(Tim no good take it off the site) no really, to me personally it is a cool inspiration,
And yes IF (IF) Tim or any body did post something of topic I will say.

Here we go… apology time.
Tim… I'm sorry I brought extra un-needed grief into this topic. For whatever reason I wasn't able to see my comment… might've been the firewall where I'm at, but I had seen it and suddenly I didn't. Yes, I do see it now… and feel like even more of an ass than I did after the replies started.

I'm more than a touch irritable lately, and I'm sorry it spilled over into this community. Hopefully you guys will let me blame this on a slipped disk that wasn't medicated (back injury).

Blendave… We were recruiting on
Blenderartists for a while and got a lot of "mm… I'll help" from folks who had no intention of helping. I'm going to be studying animation more in-depth from animation mentor.. maybe then revive the project.

Consequently Dave, you're also right about the Blender thing. What I love about this community is what I was more or less bashing.

Once again… I truly am sorry… now I have to go fix everything else I screwed up yesterday…

Let me just say that i think the dolphin video is fantastic. And I'd like to share this one with you. Which isn't a dolphin but even more amazing in my opinion. A certain amphibian….

ruhruh, Yeah, I really didn't think this one through too much, I was just so amazed and inspired that an animal could create and control it's own "animation" that I felt an immediate need to share it with the community.

We struggle every day to perfect our craft and here these animals do it naturally, and for fun too. I just thought it would be enlightening to some as it was for me. Not something that I'd print very often. :-)

I appreciate that you let us express our opinions, Tim, even if some users get kind of hostile to read an opinion different than theirs.

Personally, I thought the title of the post, "Dolphi-mation" was somewhat misleading. At first glance it makes it look like this is an animation. So maybe as someone else suggested, next time for off-topic posts could you put "Off Topic" in the title? Just a suggestion.

Thanks!
