Possible Avimator Guides Lurking Around?

I'm searching for possible Avimator guides spesifically meant for beginner animators in Second Life. I am not a beginner in the sense but I would love to educate myself on some hidden basics that mere poking around the program don't reveal. I thought this forum would have people who know the best about such guides if they exist. Thanks in advance for your help.

Peace

The only guide im aware of is the 1 at wiki


http://wiki.qavimator.org/index.php/Beginner%27s_Guide#NOTE

The only other tip I would have is dont try to make your animations so great a soon as you start making animations. It takes time

Thanks for the fast response JoeyScott and thanks for the link, I'm going to read this one thoroughlly (spelling?).

Cheers.

There's also the original PDF version of the Beginner's Guide at the avimator site: http://www.avimator.com

Hey Vince!

Any chance you have time to look at the IK code in qavimator? I found it failing in the last version of avimator on SVN and in qavimator it simply crashes with an assert in the quaternian calculation. I don't grasp most of the logic inside IK, so I'm not able to fix it (at least not right now). It would be cool if you could pinpoint the bug and send me a patch or fix

Thanks again for startig this awesome project!
Zi!

Hey Zi! Great job on all the new features you've implemented in QAvimator. It's come a long way.

Regarding the IK bug... was that bug always there or did it come up recently? If you can tell me how to reproduce it, I can take a look. Is it just in the SVN version of QAvimator or in Avimator as well?

Thanks, Vince! Great to see you!

Avimator always acted a little jumpy for me on the IK stuff, but it only started crashing with one of the last svn versions (around revision 17 or so). The crash happens on QAvimator as well, as I have not yet been able to pinpoint the change in SVN that broke it.

Reproducing is easy, just double click a limb for IK, then move it. It crashes instantly with an assertion.

Thanks for your answer! It would be terrific to see this bug go away But I don't quite get the math involved there, so all my hopes are on you right now *giggles*
