That one's great and it's how I learned about IK constraints and how useful they are for keeping feet on the floor.

Also, here's a gif of how smoke looks animated.



EDIT: added another one.

Wow, it's amazing.


WANT.

So there's not a stable release of 2.5 yet?

AAAAWWWWW

i know. im still w8n for it.

Any Crit/Suggestions for me?

yea, those torsos stink.

id prefer constructive crit, as it, why the "stink"

Thanks d('_')b

it's a great scene, nice creativity, but there's too many things passing through one another. (the legs on the shelves at the top, few of the tori's legs are going through the bench.

just simple things that can be fixed easily.

also, try adding a 2nd, and 3rd light to the scene, it'll make it look much more realistic. (if it ends up too bright you can always tone them down.)

stups:
the legs on the shelves have holes cit out for them, using booleans, so they are definately not going through the shelf, and with the tori behid the counter, i dont know whats up there, hes not actually going in, it just looks like it BIG TIME,
also, about the lights, i will be trying that on my next render

thanks :>
