Feeling better, but not well enough to get over my 3D induced headaches. feh.

Been feeling better these past few days. Still sleeping an awful lot, and crashing hard at about 8pm, wish is really unusual for me. But I am getting up and actually getting work done now, so that's a huge improvement.

So since I was feeling better, I opened up a 3D project I've been working on for ages. Trying to get Hash A:M to output a .BVH file so that I can input it into Daz (or any other program). Let's just say it has not been smooth going. Sure, every-time I build a test to see if something would work it goes off like clockwork. But as soon as I try doing something larger, it falls apart like a house of cards. Today, it was the discovery that it was not baking key-frames to any bone that was controlled by an IK rig. Well HELL! There goes my entire setup.

I am so frustrated by all this! I cannot seem to find a program or programs that will play happily with each other AND me so that I can, you know, actually FINISH something. It's hard to be an animator in 3D when you literately spend all your time modeling and rigging. I *know* it can be done. I see other people do some really superb stuff all the time. Why can't *I* get over this stupid, technological road-block, while still keeping a roof over my head*.

GAH!

Enough of my whining - I'm going to go to lunch and try again on this later. Grrrr.

*and if anyone even suggests Blender, I will shoot them and kick their bodies in a ditch!

The only blender I would recommend would be used for making margaritas.

I recall my spouse has some Things to Say about Daz's user interface...

*pats and hopes you keep recovering; if you sleep that much, you probably Need it!*

I'm sure he does! Lol! Daz's main plus is object/resource management. Their animation interface/tool resides somewhere between laughable and toy-like. Hence why I was trying to get HASH A:M to work with it since their animation tools are all loads of awesome (but it week in many other areas).
