Then I would make a shoe cutter and actually boolean a footprint out of the path. Save to library as footstep1. then boolean out the next footprint and save as footprint 2 etc. Now you can load each path object in and render away.....maybe unorthodox but I use what suits and a boolean cut would give proper shadows...:D It could also be make to look like a footprint in deep snow, whre someone has gone upto their knees in it!

Would not work so well now but it is fast and effective...:D Post by jayr // Nov 8, 2007, 4:48am jayr Total Posts: 1074 Thanks for that splinters, i'll give it a go when i can. For now here's a quick render of one of the characters, still nees hair, a beard and hands: http://www.lothissen.co.uk/toonSaxon001.jpg Post by jayr // Nov 9, 2007, 8:23am jayr Total Posts: 1074 The beginings of the capital city, Cyngburg. It's based on a hill fort type town but blown a bit out of proportion. For comparason the smaller pic is a close up of the spec on the top hill: http://www.lothissen.co.uk/toonM006.jpg http://www.lothissen.co.uk/toonM007.jpg Post by rjeff // Nov 9, 2007, 12:59pm rjeff Total Posts: 1260 sounds like fun jayr..is this for a game or a story animation? Post by jayr // Nov 9, 2007, 1:21pm jayr Total Posts: 1074 Animation, although it's going to take a while to get anywhere near ready to start rendering.

This is a simple bump map applied to the hair with Filter ticked and an amplitude of 0.02: http://www.lothissen.co.uk/hair001.jpg and here's the bump map used: http://www.lothissen.co.uk/hair002.jpg
