A Still For my First Actual Animation Which will be Released Hopefully Soon

Well, even thought this character has a derp-like face at the moment, this is a still image for my animation which will be my first actually published. It will hopefully be a huge hit, and this image also marks the first full HD 1080 picture I have taken, and I hope that I can render this animation in full HD too.

Skeleton Rig for Maya!?

Well, once again I owe a HUGE thanks to the wonderful and amazing, Shrogg!
Seriously, everyone just go to his channel and subscribe to him, here is the link: Shrogg's YouTube Channel
This time he has done the extraordinary and released his Minecraft skeleton rig, which I have now downloaded and plan on using right away.
Here is a still of what I did when playing around with the rig a few hours after it was released!:

Well, its all fixed! Someone by the name of Stephen told me to use jMC2Obj, so I tried it again (I had poor results the first time) and found out that I COULD actually use the program (and learned how to correctly).

So now I am back working hard again to start producing Minecraft animation shorts!

Here is a random image from one of these shorts that shows something out of jMC2Obj!

Hello all!
So, I am in a bit of a problem. I have no way of exporting my Minecraft worlds into Autodesk Maya becomes the program I used to use, mc2obj, is no longer giving download links. So I am hoping that maybe any of you viewers know of any way to export your Minecraft world, but have it look good enough? Thanks!

If you have seen this blog and seen the rigs I use, and wondered where they originated from, they are from shrogg or also known as shrogg2!

Here are the links to the different threads with these rigs!

I hope you enjoy using these rigs as much as I have!

If you want an updated version of the normal rig, the one without the facial component, watch the two rigs in maya video posted earlier in this blog to get the link for an updated version!

There are also some other videos that help with problems that you might have with the rig on my channel, so watch those first if you need help!

Please give shrogg2 credit (with a link to his channel if you use it) and if you use the updated one, still give the link to his channel but also include mine, since I have helped improve it.

Thought I would update this blog finally... Here is an upcoming short called "The Thing in the Mist". Couldn't have done this without the help of Shrogg2, the creator of this rig. Find the rig at this link: Minecraft Character rig for MAYA - Minecraft Forum - Page 2 - Page 2
