Virtual Carver

[Kent]

Sorry Karl...had to post this.

Although...I'm venturing a guess that more people will critique the form rather than admire your work.

Pretty sweet Karl!

Lightwave?

[knoch]

can you make him do more?

[Chris Houghton]

That looks like a Donek he's riding. And Raichle Suzukas, and of course TD2's with the soft rings, I think.

The grooming in virtual land looks fantansic, I know a few resort that could learn a thing of two.

That kicks ass! Was it animated with keyframes, or are the physics being simulated?

[Scuff]

Speedzilla: Thanks! Yup, Lightwave it is!

Knoch: Make him do what? Any Suggestions?
I could launch him off the top of "Hemlock" or rip up "Oak" like *I* used to back at good old "Timber Ridge."
(I see you're in K-zoo.. My home town is Plainwell, MI ) :)

NateW: All keyframes. No physics involved whatsoever.
Only took a couple hours to model, animate, and upload what you see.

Sweet!

Haha launch him off the top of Hemlock, that would be a killer sight. I'm more of a Crystal Mountain weekend worrier though. So you could make him launch off the drop on Loki how i like to do it, that would work too. Either way thats freakin awesome, now you just gotta work on foolin people into thinkin its actual footage with realistic textures and whatnot.
