Hey everyone, A while ago, I mentioned that I was working on a pair of base meshes for my own projects, and that I also would be willing to share with the community at large. I have a full body finished now, but there is still a lot of tweakage to be done. I've been looking at this for a while now, so I was hoping to get some fresh perspective other than the random references I've cobbled together. Please visit the page and let me know what you think and what features you think would be useful in a basic mesh of this type (in terms of being able to stretch/shrink parts of the body, change levels of musculature, whatever). -Edit: Still graphics heavy, …

I tried running A:M in the background and did the first 60 even frames at 320x240. Render times went from 4 mins at start to 40 mins at end. It's quite a globulous liquid! It sort of resembles oil in water. (QT Sorenson3 123KB) water30.mov

All, Time to give a little back to the A:M community AND get some critiques on a robo I did a while back. Can't let John (Artbox) Henderson have all the robo fun. The model Uses lathing a bit too much but here it is: Military Security Robot Download and a 'few' shots: Sorry no wireframes. Render your own... I'll be away from the internet for a day or so but wanted to get this posted before I depart. Am interested in what you Animation Masters would do differently. Legal Disclaimer: Use as you see fit. Donation to the A:M community does not restrict my legal rights to use said…

Here's a model I've been working on for the past week, nearly finished. It's a member of the "Great Race", from The Shadow Out of Time by HP Lovecraft (my wife has ceremoniously named it "Lemon Head"). Click here for a short animation test (1.45 MB MPEG-1 with sound). The walk cycle (slither cycle?) needs a little work, and the head neads a little more detail, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. During the process of rigging this model, I have arrived at the conclusion that tentacles are a pain in the ass, but dynamic constraints kick ass.

Hey, I rendered out this image and it is doing all kinds of weird stuff. Notice the splines over everything. As far as I know I didn't tell it to render out the splines. I just wanted a final image with no splines showing. Any idea why it is rendering this way? Also, I rendered out an earlier one with a volumetric light focused on the guys upper body and the background out of focus. It rendered everything behind the volumeric light in sharp focus and wherever the beam ended it had the correct depth of field...any ideas why? I may post an image of that if my explanation is too confusing. Any feedback/ideas would be helpful. I am working on it ri…

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd post this so that y'all can see what I'm workin' on. I hope you like it. There's still a lot of work that needs to be done (i.e. the rest of the model!, textures, rigging etc). Anyhow, here you go.... Javier

Well, (no pun intended) this is another scene from my next Bella Bear story that I am currently making a pig's ear of texturing. I am pleased with the candlesticks (need some smoke) but I am in a bit of a dialemma. Should I used real-life photos (the walls) in conjuction with shaders and painted textures, or not use real-life imagery and generate it all by my own fair hand? In this scene the stairs and doorframe are the wrong colours - they need to match the wall, which need the tiling removed. But you're thoughts fellow Hashers please

I need a bit of help: I'm working on a head and I need to delete half to do a copy flip attach but each time I try the app drops to desktop. this happens in both the latest alpha and in v10.5. I need to delete these points to do a copy/flip/attach. Any ideas? I've been trying for 2 days. I've attached the .prj file. the points labeled "delete" are the ones I don't want. -Project file removed- (Will post pictures later)

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.

I am looking for peoples opinion on the overall look of this scene. It is a work in progress. I know the sky needs to have reflections turned off. The houses need decals, etc. I mean just by looking at this scene, what do you think?

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. Thanks!

Im new to this forum and new to AM and modeling. I did the first few tutorials in the book and kinda just started doing my own thing and learning myself the program. I posted a model of an axe i did with textures from a picture of an axe basically the same one.My 1st model Now, im still working on this model im about to show and its my VERY first organic model. His name is Boon Dock Billy. Enjoy. Oh. And please comment on it tell me what i should work on because in my oppinion i dunno if he can have bones put in his face and animate them without bad clipping. Any suggestions and criticism is welcome.

Here's my digger model - rotoscoped from some photos I took from a roading construction site. I'm hoping to animate it for a job I'm doing at the moment. I'm trying to do the tracks at the moment, and I'm trying to bone them so I can get the tracks to turn (as in the excellent tutorial for tank tracks on the AM Resource site).

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.

The comic is called Dark Days, it's a sequel to the immensely popular 30 days of night by Steve Niles. I hope he likes it enough to put it in the book as a pin-up or cover. We'll see! I really had to turn off the "make it photoreal" switch in my head since I was going to ink the piece, so it has more of a comic feel. Rendered in 10.5. All geometry, flocking system with 65 bats with a flying action hooked up. 10 hours at 2200 X 3300 on my dual P4 2.8 Xeon (only using one Proc of course). Rendered multipass, 49 passes. Then rendered pure b&w outline toon render. Took into Photoshop and inked with toon render as base. Textures are my…

My office is going to be relocating soon, and my boss asked if I could help draft some preliminary plans to give to the architects. I used A:M to lay it out, rendering out a slice of the walls in wireframe mode for the paper plans, then modeled like a monkey on crack over the weekend to put in some "set dressing": Click the thumbnails for larger versions. Sadly, I ran out of time and only got about a third of the way through making the props for the office area, so I won't be posting those until I've finished them. (At which point I'll render with soft shadows, as well...) Still, I was happy enough with them, and they did highlight some problems with…

Ages ago, I put up an animatic of a short piece featuring a cricket who resorts to modern electronics to improve his chances with the ladies. I've *finally* gotten around to actually animating one shot for this. Any comments or nitpicks at any level - modeling, lighting, animation, etc. - would be very welcome. http://www.digins.com/jack/cwip3.mpg (1MB) I created a reusable "handheld camera shake" action based on Sotiris Gougousis' excellent "Expressions in AM" tutorial; I'd be happy to post that if anyone's interested.

Here is a QuickTime link to my short "Marboxian." Some of you may have seen this at the Hash film show at SIGGRAPH; Ottawa; or one of a few other screenings. It's picked up a couple of minor awards, and audiences -- including, I'm told, a roomful of very sleepy children, once -- seem to like it. Link. Two warnings: First, the file is 114MB (12 minutes at good quality). Second, it's hosted through my cable modem, and I can't guarantee decent bandwidth. (Mike Muncy's been great to me, but I really can't afford the kind of bandwidth I'd need to host it off his servers. Or... much else right now. *sigh*) Keep democratizing- -M@

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

Hi all, Here's a render of the new hair from v11 alpha. The image has been softened with this free plugin that I love, DreamyPhoto. You can get it, for Mac and Windows, here: http://www.autofx.com/freeplugins/dreamyphoto.asp?id=7 I still have some things to fix, like the hair penetrating her ear. And since I removed her gloves, I need to add fingernails. Her fingers are also penetrating the gun. It took 4 hours and 47 minutes to render this because I have three wide raytrace lights with 9-11 rays cast, reflections turned on (the gun!), the particle hair and 5 pass multipass. I didn't have the patience for 16 passes. I rendered the image with an al…
