hi guys, don't even know if this warrants being in here judging some of the other work, but here it is anyway. I had the idea to do a dryfly now that weve got great hair. i could do with a better metal material for the hook and i'm gonna add a barb to that. the thread is a spherical combiner that is difficult to see in this shot but close up it sort of simulates thread. I did try lots of torus's but there was to much geometry and it slowed things down a bundle. The hair is not groomed, but is tapered and has a two colour gradient. The tips are slightly transparent. This is really my first go with A:M, and i hope to improve my modelling skills as i go, but any idea'…

I've finally completed this model. I've been working on it for a long time. I originally made the head months (a LONG time) ago, and have been slowly working on the body. Well, I've finally finished the main body work. It is not officially complete yet, as I'm sure I'll be changing things and making it look different, but, at least it's a complete body. It still needs tweaking (like the hands, which look a bit bad) and texturing. But anyway, if anyone has any comments or suggestions, please feel free to post! Cheers!

Greetings, good community. What's up? Mine is a story you've all heard before -- making a model, looking for advice, secretly fishing for charitable encouragement. :P hehe These are bodyparts of a merman/creature from a dark fantasy story. Any critique would be good, but if someone could give me some pointers about modeling for animation, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yet Another Star Wars Indie, I know. But I found this piece instructive and inspirational. What's impressive is not the animated portions (not done in A:M) so much as the integration of animation with live action -- in particular, the editing and the shot blocking. The strategy and tools (DV cameras, etc.) portion is good reading, too.

Here's a room I'm making for a game with Alpha 8 Win 2000. I'm having abit of trouble getting it to look good. The current issues are: 1 Shadows within shadows. That can't happen in reality given that there is only one light source. 2 Anomaly in wallpaper which is a decal used on all the walls. There is no spline located there 3 The outline of the table(and shelf) is taking on the colour of the wall under the decal (I have the opacity at 50% to get varying shades on each of the walls) Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks. [img]http://kenheslip_1.tripod.com//sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/room.jpg[/img] PS After loading the project it takes an age to save the…

I've been organising my backups and I found these old very simple models. In 9.5 I had to toon render them(there was no time for texturing) but I added them into a 10.5 chor and added a skycast light, and I thought the result wasn't bad. Each of the characters was modelled and rigged in 4 hours. The geometry is very light as I had no tiime for adding intermediate bones or smartskinning(they were animated).

Hands Down

This is a very short clip of a possible short film. I say possible short film because I don't know if I'll ever actually make it, I was simply doing this to test out some stuff I had learned. Keep in mind this is the very first animation that I have rendered (I've made plenty of animations that were so bad I threw them away) and there are plenty of mistakes. To name one, the hand sinks into the ground at the beginning, but it's not too terribly noticable. The hand was modeled in Wings 3D. When I imported it into AM, it looked like there were holes all over the model. The go away once you render the animation, but it bothers me anyway, does anyone know why it does th…

All, One of the things I love about AM is the variety of things you can model and the styles in which you can render them. Here is a link to a page of WIPs I uploaded from the mess that is my harddrive. None of these were ever finished. I tend to just play with AM to learn 3D. I learn something new every day thanks to the forum/list. Graphic Doodling Hope this link works Comments always welcome. Rodney

I'm making an animation for school with this little guy, and I haven't animated anything before other than a walk cycle or two. I'm happy with how it turned out, at least for my first try. http://murc13.homestead.com/files/Comp3small.mov I'm not sure how long my bandwidth will last, so if you watch it, I'd really appreciate feedback, whether good or bad.

This is basically my first model. Or, at least the first one I'm trying to make from (drawn) a rotoscope. I think it's looking half-way decent at present, but I'm freaking out trying to get the rest looking right. I'm also having a great deal of problems trying to connect the frame of the window to what will be the roof of the cab. It's not in the picture (actually, it's not even made), so please try to use your imagination to pictuer what it should look like. Any assistance that can be offered, especially in the realm of smootheness, would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that the only way to get a Bulb light is to change the Rim Light [ in Objects folder] from spotlight to bulb. But I found that it changes all the Rim light types in a Project, and in all Choreographies. Is it possible to have Spot Rims and Bulb Rims at the same time?

When I was 8-11 years old, I used to purchase Sonic the Hedgehog comic books every month. I picked one of them up recently, and realized that even though 99% of the comic was extremely dorky, there was one character that stood out. In a certain issue, Sonic was Mechanized by the evil Doctor Robotnik, and this new Mecha-Sonic actually looked pretty badass. Has anyone else seen this guy? I decided to start building him, but I'm having troubles with his head - those strange big pokey things on the back are inconsistent in almost every frame, yet they seem to have some order to them. I can't quite figure them out. Here's what I got so far: It…

Well, that topic was quite ambiguous.. I hope you get it in the 3D matters... This is my first female model in AM. I modeled the body and now the head, which was much more difficult than men IMO. Not that she's ready for a beauty contest... but at least she's very smart What do you think?

Howdy, all. Got a man made out of the moon here. Blue moon, even. His textures aren't final (he's just mirrored around the X-axis at the moment) but you get the general idea. I need to get rid of the creases at the side, obviously. I'm also wondering if he's a little spline-heavy. His mouth will need to be very expressive. This is probably the best face I've done yet, which gives you an idea of my lack of facial prowess. But it's all a learning process, so don't hold back your critiques and suggestions! Thanks, Zach

Hi, Here's the latest on the Flyer. Trying to get the thing finished by the 17th which is the 100th year of flight anniversary. Engine, wings, and frame are essentially finished. Got to add generator, chain drive, propellers, controls, wires, launch rail, sky and, oh, yeah, a pilot (Orville). Would be cool to have Wilber running along side, but that may be to much to cram in during the next week. Comments welcome. John

I would like some comments on this model. I am looking for any suggestions in general, but specifically on how to improve her hair. This is a helmet hair approach using opacity mapping. I'm not convinced that this appraoch is going to work. I might try to do v11 hair. pro or con anyone? Also, I used skycast for this clip. Any idea why her lips and face lose their specular highlights? You can run through the quicktime frame by frame and see different parts of her body in pretty good detail. I can always post more if there are specific questions... [url="http://www.3d-anim8or.com/movieplay.asp?moviename=matalie-flyaround"]Play[/url]

I know that questions like this pop up often, but... Is there a kind soul out there that would be willing to put together a medium-quality Yugo Koral (Tempo) car model? (photos) It would have to be medium-to-high quality on the inside, medium-to-low quality on the inside. The interior in the back seat would only need to be low-quality. I would take care of the texturing myself (with the aid of well-labeled groups, and many of them). Quality-wise, it has to hold up to a live background (shot on DV) in which it is mainly seen from the front in close-up, with some medium and long shots of the rest. I am using it in a short film I am working on for schoo…

Here is my shuttlepod from Enterprise. I still have to texture it, but my AM2002 isn't applying decals at the moment. You apply them, but you can't see them on the model, nor will it render. I think it's playing up with my current release of OSX, so I'm waiting to get an upgrade for AM. But I think the model is coming along well. Next I'll make up the Enterprise NX-01 to go with it.

Hot on the heels of showing everyone the first half of my first Bella Bear flick 'Spaceship' I decided to reveal the first half of the other two stories I have done even if they are only in storyboard format. So if your interested pop along to the Bella Bear Website and checkout 'Cakeshop' and 'Peg's Mansion'. One day I might even get around to animating these stories, probably by the time I reach 90-odd! But then again I might just win the lottery and can hire people to help me. Please, please, please... The Bella Bear Website
