Web site problems and character rig product update.

I have tons of image and file links on the forum and I just wanted to let you all know I have had some... work related issues lately.

I... uh... well... I forgot to renew my lowrestv.com site and well... it is down for a while until the renewal goes through. It expired 3 days ago... yikes. Caught it just in time.

Talk about a heart attack... imagine my shock when some bizarre links page came up. I thought I had another year but apparently that was incorrect.

They say it should be up in a few hours or less.

---------------------

In other news I am feverishly finishing up my face/body rig characters product for sale. It is pretty much done but I had to work around some layering issues and changed the "style" from a "bold" outline to a more simplistic solid shape without the outlines. Still looks cool as heck I promise.

I also need to produce some more sample videos of lip synching and also the whole body rig and add some interesting sample actions for facial expressions. There will only be one character to start, with more to follow.

I am currently working on the instruction PDF which I plan to translate to Spanish as well. There seems to be a lot of Spanish speakers on the forum and I happen to have a cousin who TEACHES Spanish at a university and has agreed to help out (at least it won't read like a bablefish conversion ;) ).

As for any other language conversions... uh... Sorry, I only have relatives who know Spanish...

That kind of situation you mention was the reason to start the "About the value of this forum" thread. I hope you continue happily with lowrestv,com site up.

Regarding to your PDF instructions: :D :D :D ¡¡¡Bravooo!! :D :D :D ¡¡¡Tendremos una versión en español!!! :shock:. I want to say to you that you can count with my help with the spanish traduction review of your PDF instructions.

One question: did you finished the new copy/paste bone tool? :roll:

Not yet. I am sort of using a... half broken version for my own stuff. It is a really badly broken hybrid from the old one and the new. I use it very carefully for specific things.

I ran into trouble with using a text list for the bones in the copy window. I have not found a way around this yet. Text lists don't have enough "attributes" or "variables" to keep track of bones with the same name in two different lists.

The solution is there somewhere... I just have to learn more about complex lua tables and arrays.
