For my fifth tutorial I've been thinking I want to toy around with the curve editor to see how it effects animations.
I found a simple tutorial here that I'm interested in trying out for myself for my own tutorial.
I've been liking the idea of sticking to animation for my Max tutorials and this is a great way to really oomph-up your animation. It seems like a great tool to learn and I can't wait to get started!

Fourth Tutorial
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Change in plans
As mentioned earlier I was thinking about modeling a character for my tutorials with the intent of rigging it for my 5th tutorial.
However, after watching more and more tutorials and trying it out myself, I came to realize modeling a character and rigging a character in 2 ten minute tutorials was unrealistic.
SO! I decided to dive further into fun animations you can do in 3Ds Max- this time I discovered a way to animate glowy effects on font (which would be useful for creating a logo or a movie opener... anything!)
This tutorial was fun but complicated, there were a lot of different windows and numbers to remember.
Worst part about it, is after I finished filming my tutorial, it was apparent that my video of the font effects didn't even show up for some reason! That was discouraging and weird that it would not show up- perhaps camstudio couldn't support it?
Either way I uploaded my obnoxious video created from the tutorial so it could be viewed!
ENJOY!

For my next tutorial...
For the fourth tutorial with Autodesk 3Ds Max I want to model a character that I can rig for my fifth tutorial.
I anticipate this being a difficult task, but I'll do my best!
I found some great tutorials for rigging- one which is a 7 part tutorial.
You can find Part One HERE!
I just hope that it will not actually require over an hour to create my own rigging tutorial.
Hopefully with the simple model I intend to create for my fourth tutorial, the rigging for my fifth will be easy.
Fingers crossed!
