    Just posting this for a laugh really. I don't even think its worthy of getting uploaded. The folk at CGTalk would kill me if they saw this :D Anyhow, I couldn't get his clothes to sway with his body so he's buck naked, so minors are warned. Also, he has no facial expression so he actually looks like he just smoked something... Anyway, just for fun and without further delay:

    YODA animation test

    nice carl, the animation was great. I think it would be great with his robe on! note: this animation is rated R for nudity

    Cool. The actual animation is good, I like the way his other hand/entire body moves to counteract and balance the movement of the hand. That's working well,

    but as for naked Yoda.. Eeeeewww :p

    It looks like motion capture in Biped to me. Am I right?

    T-toe, yeah, thats something I forgot to mention whilst writing the post. The animation is a default from the MAX MoCap library, so I can't take any credit for the actual animation. I did the biped setup which, if you ask me is not a simple task either. But anyhow, I'm not all that good at animating characters anyway, so bare with me :)

    It looks pretty funny, but I like it. Will you animate his mouth eventually also?

    Yoda man! Posting yourself nude on the internet is not cool You have truely sold out, shame on you, shame shame shame. ;)

    But do you know how much money in banner ads you could make by making the 'naked dancing yoda' webpage?

    just a though... and I hereby trademark all items relating to the 'neked dancing yoda' webpage and anyone that uses the idea must pay royalties of $10 a month.

    " ... It's a flaw more and more common among Jedi. Too sure of themselves they are. Even the older, more experienced ones." ;)

    Great job! I've looked into biped setup in A:M and just gave up on it for now. You've done very nicely with yours.

    One suggestion might be to shorten the arms a bit. He looks a little ET-ish right now.

    Have fun!

    Hm...I find his lack of clothes disturbing...
    It's a great job. I hope you can fully animated him later, with clothes on...

    If you are running 3d Studio Max 4 then I can recommend a good cloth simulator to put some clothes on him.

    It is just called SimCloth.

    Actually, if you look the skin on his face it's different to his body. To me it looks like he's wearing a tight green lycra body suit. Like he's a gymnast or something.

    Yeah, thats the way he came textured, as most of his body will not be seen under his clothes. I believe the artists who designed the mesh could've made some textures for the hands and feet too however.
    Ranka_Jade, I do have simcloth but when I used a .bip file he appears in a random place, as I said, I just posted this for a laugh and didn't intend to make it look good. I'm getting the cloth to work anyway as we speak, but it'll need some time. I might not even be able to post it but we'll see...

    The footage is quite disturbing (especially the face)
    (Vin backs against wall with cries of "mommy!")
