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!
