We're Going to the CTN Animation Expo!

The CTN Animation Expo is coming up soon!
Nov. 20-22
At the Burbank Convention Center

We have buses to take us down to the Expo! The cost of a bus seat, ROUND TRIP, is currently between $45-50.We will know the exact price when we get a final number on the people who want to bus down, but the price will not go above $50.

That's a pretty sweet deal for a road trip to LA with all your animation friends on a bus!

We are trying to see if we can get around 20 more people for the buses. If we do, the price per bus seat will be closer to $45.

Whoever wants to go by bus, please comment below and let us know you're interested in a bus seat!

Part three of the Norman Modification Workshop

Norman Mod Workshop Tutorial
Part 3

Tips and Ticks originally taught to the AAU Animation Club by Joshua Slice in a live demonstration on campus, 10-03-2009, is now in a SUPER EASY written tutorial by Vaughan Weigert. Enjoy!

Modding The Mouth...

THE MOUTH:
Start with fixing that giant overbite on the Original Norman... Make Curves visible again and place the Teeth back in the head so they don't collide with the head mesh.

1. Grab the Jaw Controllers and move them up or back as the case may be.
2. And SCALE the jaw Controllers to fit your head.

3. Select the "boca-burger" mouth shape surrounding the jaw and hit the "f8" key to view the mesh in COMPONENT MODE.
4. Now, select all verts of the object in component mode and move it back, and scale it, to fit into the head.

THE TONGUE:

1. Grab all vertices of the mesh in Component Mode and move it up (TY).

You may want to open the jaw and check to see that it looks right.
