Here's a 30 sec. segment I tried doin for mytoons bumper contest. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Been having codec problems. I must have set it wrong, because I was in a rush found out at the last minute. It's shows a little pixelation on their system, but is crystal clear in avi. form before I uploaded it

. However comments and helpful hints welcome on the forum.

Hm ... if I see a dancer I expect larger movements? If the woman poses like this behind him I expect to see some grinding hip movements?
(Tip: most of us start a bone rig at the hip or backbone. This has some advantages but makes it very clumsy to do dances. I experimented a bit and did the bone rig like this: a root bone on ground level, two bones leading upwards (like an invisible leg), and then comes the hip bone. This way you can move the hip much more freely.)

Yeah slowtiger, I should have moved her booty too instead of her just standing there in the end, but I called myself trying to just have her cop a feel on his butt to his surprise. However I guess it's coming across dry at that part to you, huh? Plus trying to get that work flow goin' with ASP. Well gotta keep trying. Thanks for the rig tip though. Hey if you got an example let me see how you work it.

Ooops forgot to mention the Torso and Hipmovement for the Rasta is all done by movement of the points. No skeleton. The only parts utilising bones are the arms, legs from the knee down, and Head. I was pressed. So I gave it a shot.
