    yes but you cant export it in a way that i can use it

    if you export it to a format that i can use the texture probably wont export with it so it be pointless

    must....be ......perfect!!!
    must.....not.....give.......up!

    ok now that i got that out of my system i thought id give you a short and small update
    during my endless frame by frame playback of the grievous scenes i finaly know how to setup our beloved generals arm sockets
    tho they are atached to the body in the way they are suposed to now i just dont see how this is a practical way to animate him

    know with the 2 arms he's kind of hard to work with but in order to rotate the arm around it axis you first need to move the upper joint to wich the arm is atached up and the lower joint down
    i just dont see how i'm effectivly going to rig this without the 2 arms coliding with eachother

    anyone up for a rotorscoping challenge

    i took the liberty to render a grievous animation and thought some of you guys mi8ght find it fun to rotorscope it

    the model has had a few upgrades most of wich are hard to spot
    first of all i made the frame that hold the gutsack
    secondly i added new arm joints at the main body
    also the neck has been competly rebuilt (tho the cables are missing in this version)
    i removed the cables cause they werent rigged yet

    anyways tell me what you think and feel free to rotorscope it if you please

    it'd be easier to rotoscope if it was motion blurred, but either way, its lookin good
