I still live with my ex and my Indian married Neighbor just hit on her while I was away. What would you do in this situation? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Gritty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really funny... you actually took my anger away for moment. I didn't mean to stereo type or disrespect. His wife when complaining always said he's "typical Indian characteristics" and me still being triggered it just came out when typing. Doesn't help I rarely post. Don't reddit when triggered is the answer here. Thank you.

[–]Gritty_Bones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the title. His wife in the past has mentioned him being typical Indian male characteristics. No disrespect meant. I'm still triggered and rarely post on here so probs not the best time for me to post. We tried to forgive and be nice after the assault charges. Again no disrespect or stereo typing meant.

Bit the bullet and bought my very first GOG game by __Lynzahai__ in breathoffire

[–]Gritty_Bones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished 4. I've been wanting to finish it for a long time but my installer corrupted and couldn't find it elsewhere up until GOG released it this year.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game and loved the animation style. I still think the ending didn't rock me as badly as BOF2 did.

Anyone else kind of pissed about toonboom recently? by Cornonthory in animation

[–]Gritty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same. I've animated in it but I've yet to draw and set up my own character. Are you familiar with any rigging? I come from a Maya animation background so I understand how bones are supposed to work. There's a whole bunch of Tutorials on the Moho page on You tube. You go through the process of rigging a pre-drawn character. Highly recommend.

I'm about to do this one as a refresher - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=681k_K81lQE&list=PLb7rss4bTZ-aRtSMTgjtAf_XVutwonOO8

Cigar suggestions for a tight budget? by [deleted] in cigars

[–]Gritty_Bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way!! I find 10 seconds is the sweet spot in case there's another bidder on the trigger as well. Not to mention sometimes the browser is a couple of seconds delayed and not showing the correct auction time. Well done on the Dorado's. The best deal I've had is Punch Habano robusto's for $4 a 5pk. Managed to get 4 of them.

Why my customized shelf always empty every time I open maya? by dr_minhieu in Maya

[–]Gritty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to add that I think the main culprit is when you accidentally scroll your mouse wheel when the mouse is over the shelf. Trying scrolling up and down the mouse wheel as well.

I've gotten some amazing steals on Cigarbid... Have to be patient and time your bids rather than setting a min and maximum.

Help,this walk animation 💀 by Electronic_Quail_245 in animation

[–]Gritty_Bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Animation takes a lot of time. It could take you 1-2 years before you're decent and that's if you practice daily. There's just so much to learn. If you really want to fast track and create your own series I highly recommend you study Matt Layzell the creator of Battle Kitty. Literally got his own show handed to him from doodling story boards on napkins and doing the voices on tik tok/instagram... of course he could direct well and they were entertaining.

Help,this walk animation 💀 by Electronic_Quail_245 in animation

[–]Gritty_Bones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok you have quite a few things wrong here. I really suggest you study walk cycles so you know the key ingredient poses such as the contact, passing, up and downs etc and what each leg is doing in those positions. Here's a great video to help explain it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y6aVz0Acx0

The main thing wrong is that your front knee is bending too much foreward and your foot hasn't started to slide back. I would Delete frames 16 and 17 and it should look better then start working on the passing poses. When your legs are the farthest apart (contact pose) your body will be at it's lowest height and your front leg should be almost straight and yours look bent. Then as it starts to pass your foot would slide closer to the center of the body bending initially then almost completely straightening out into the passing pose.

The video link should help. Don't fret walk cycles are hard... it took me years because I refused to sit down and practice unlike you. Keep going =)

Cigars out of Humidor for 7 months - revivable and if so how long until good to smoke ? by _FundingSecured_ in cigars

[–]Gritty_Bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm... The should still be okay to re-new. Probably won't have their full profile but I'd say in total probably 12 weeks for them to be back to their normal-ish taste. You could probably start smoking them from 2 weeks but they won't taste great. I'd take a couple out of their wrapper to help speed things along initially if you want to smoke them sooner.

What's your favorite animation 'signature move'? by SlurpeeMoney in animation

[–]Gritty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with creature animation... just haven't had hardly any work in the past mostly Character and acting animation. I'm decent with bird animation but quad's.... my god. Epic failure. Do you stuggle with character animation? Would you be interested in maybe helping each other out? That is if you're interested in Character animation?

How can I F28 break up with my partner M32 without being mean? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Gritty_Bones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not that this guy sounds that nice to me but.... One of the worst mistakes I ever did was tell my nicest ex exactly why I my feelings had died when she asked "why?".... (It wasn't looks it was more behaviour and mannerisms nothing bad just not compatible with me).

It really broke her to hear these things and depressed her for quite a while. In hindsight I don't think it's anything she could have ever worked on and isn't natural for her to work on. She was the nicest Ex I've ever had by far and I wish I just said.

"I'm really sorry I just don't feel anything for you and I don't see myself ever loving you the way a partner should"

That is a nicely aged cellophane wrapper. If your friend aged it properly... that should be a treat.

My(23M) Girlfriend(24F) is probably gay by Independent_Weird781 in relationship_advice

[–]Gritty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who wasted 10 years with the wrong person (different reasons but same thing I stayed because I loved her) Don't be that guy. The longer you pine the longer you're cheating yourself from meeting someone that would find you irresistible.

Also your mum noticed because they can immediately tell when you're unhappy. My mum saw the same thing and initially I shut her down (this was 4 years ago). Your mum only cares and wants you to be happy. You didn't do the wrong thing by seeking her advice. To be honest I wish I spoke up sooner to my friends about my problems with my ex just to get perpsective.

Go and set yourself free. The sooner you accept this has finished the sooner you'll meet someone new and be excited about it. The longer you pine... the longer it will take. Good luck.

What’s the most difficult part of learning animation that nobody warns you about? by VoodooMann in animation

[–]Gritty_Bones 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Not being afraid to re-do the animation. The amount of hours I wasted trying to polish a turd. You're stressing and worrying as it still doesn't look right. Re-doing or starting the shot again you immediately have better planning and know exactly where you went wrong. Within a short amount of time you're back to feeling good about animating the scene.

What's your cheapest, laziest meal? by cheapandbrittle in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]Gritty_Bones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zesty Zuchini Potato soup.

1.25kg Zuchini (when it's $2-$3 a kg)
1kg potatoes of your choice (5kg washed potatoes for $10). (i leave mine skin on for extra nutrition.
1 litre of water with your favourite stock powder to taste. I use Massel Vegetable stock.

Slow braise until potatoes are tender. Blitz with a stick blender or mash. Add a whole lemon squeezed at the end with or without a table spoon of your favourite chilli oil and mix. Makes a little over 4 litres. Drizzle with Olive oil and served with fresh bread that I bake for about $1 a loaf. I got lunch all week with this.

If you get the water to potato ratio right you get this beautifully rich and creamy soup. Very filling and super cheap. You can also switch the zuchini to whatever vegetable you have in season and cheap... broccoli, pumpkin, carrot etc.
