Not only do Piggies have long memories, they are impatient. Johnl3d picked on the wrong porker: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=183392 So while John's on vacation (he should be back monday), I decided to welcome him back in absentia & release my evilness into the wild.

Here's a preliminary animation of a Fuel System Schematic for Fuel Injected race cars. It took a little over a day to create the models and render the animation. Text was composited in Vegas 5 and rendered to a Real Media file for space considerations. To have done this in another modeling package would have taken far longer in my opinion. I still have to work on the lighting and camera angles, but the ability to make and change things so quickly in A:M is a real bonus. http://hre.com/jhvdigital/videoclips/hashforums1.rm

Recent YouTube wanderings led me to some videos about 2001, the making of the Star Gate sequence, and so on, which got me thinking… 2001 is among my all-time favorite movies. It is film qua film, not merely a novel thrown up on the screen. I saw 2001 at the Cinerama Theater in LA in 1968, with my college comrade and long-time friend, the late Robert Blalack, who received the VFX Oscar for Star Wars (1977). To say that we were mind-blown would be the understatement of understatements. These days, movie editing programs and software packages usually have some form of the slit-scan effect in their bags of tricks. But why use them when I might be able to re-crea…

I never did that much modeling characters. I want to start a little bigger(little big? excuse my french) project, so maybe better and safer to own my characters. I have tried to stay with a fairly low mesh density so far, hope it works for animating. Do most people still apply decals on the face using flatten? I used it a few years ago, worked well, but this time I can't find the way to apply the decal in the action window where I flatten the face. I will rig them soon with 2008 rig to test the models.

This isn't quite what Rusty is looking for in his other thread but I'll show it none-the-less... a fly-over of the Aurora curtain effect. Basically two gradient combiners are used to fade out the top and bottom and in the middle is a turbulence combiner, stretched vertically and animated in the chor to move through the mesh of the curtain to give it the undulating look.

Hello everyone! Just completed enough of my very first model in A:M (actually very first anything beyond the cube in David Roger's book). Thought I would follow the Japanese schoolchild's axiom "Boys Be Ambitious!" and shoot for the stars. Or in my case, the space animation contest. This is the attacker's space ship for a space scene. I wanted an organic/technical feel that appeared dangerous and so I ended up with a rocket propelled crab of sorts. I am pretty happy with it as it stands. Needs more tweaking and color but I think you will get the drift. The white triangles at the back are where the engines go. This is the very first 3D thing beyond ball a…

Hi splinesmen, Haven't posted in a while... But I'm working hard. Here is a test of a character walking and sitting on a cube. The dynamic movements I seem to be having a problem with I may post a question about if I can't figure it out. anyway... depress5.mov The quicktime movie is 1.29 MB. I know I went too far by doing a final render, but I needed to test the low rez textures... to see how they measure up. I rendered him without his hair to look at the rendertimes of the textures. I saved max rez textures at 4000x and med rez textures at 2000x and low rez textures are about 1000x. Tell me what you think... even if you don't have a crit.

I'm starting a new project in my (rare) spare time. I'm planning to build a Meganeura, an ancient dragonfly that was extinct a long time ago. These insects had a wingspan of 70 - 75 cm (~ 2.4 ft). I'm not not building one in A:M, I'm building one for real, RC controlled and supposed to fly. Well, actually it doesn't have to be able to fly in our current atmosphere, this is an experiment to see if a dragonfly of this size could fly with the atmosphere pressure as it is now. The reason for this is that some scientists have reason to believe the atmosphere pressure was much higher in those times, estimated about twice the current pressure. I think it would be almost impossib…

Full scenes aren't something that i can do often, due to school and things like that any time i try to start something i normally end up ending it. this time i plan to finish it, so I'm starting out pretty simple. I'm using animation:master and made the models pretty quick starting out with the arm chair and making the other chairs from that model, the table i had already modeled a while back. then i found some textures on the net for the floor and walls which i used as bump maps. it should be obvious that this is a test render just using one klieg(spot) light. the painting on the wall(if your wondering) is a Vincent Van Gogh painting(can you guess what it is?). i might c…

I decided to start a thread on some of my experimenting with outdoor lighting and rendering. So here is the scene I am going to be using: I designed/modeled it to have complex shadows, relfections, and have IOR somewhere (the water (1.33)) Here is a late afternoon lighting. I have updated that lighting setup slightly after the last render, I added 2 bulbs underwater (as suggested in this thread to give some shadow detail, and I also added a Lane T on the bottom of the pool. Ive been enjoying rendering to OpenEXR and using its high dynamic range (32 bit too) and buffers to get additonal tweakability. Next up is the midday daytime look! …

TWO is progressing well - so well in fact that we're moving into modeling for Act II, (there's still plenty of animation to be done in Act I but the modelers need to stay way ahead of the animators). Alain Desrochers, TWO Set Manager, will be looking for modelers for "Mrs. Yoop's Castle" (which Alain designed). This is the best set in the movie, with lots of gothic and macabre details, and plenty of opportunity to be creative without having to be a perfect modeler. So, all of you car modelers please raise your hand by responding to this thread. You don't have to commit to a lot - just bite off a piece here and there: plenty of statues, ornamentation, hallways, and…

I want to see if I can model his mouth in there while staying true to the illustrated version... Anyhows, if you get a minute check it out.... for you sticklers on detail...

Working away on the current project. I rendered the sequence out as a series of TGA files to be composited over a cloud background. Then used a chor to composite them within AM. With this result, S6_Clouds.mov There are two moments when there are distinct movements which should not be there, frame 65 ( 02:15 ) being the first. Checked the new composite file and this was the result. There is a shadow behind the figure, I went back to the original, Which looked like this, Using the same files as for the AM composite, I then did it again in FCP and got no glitches, this is frame 65, Should add that, the original were rendere…

I made a test with image based lighting to see if it helps in integrating Hash models with background photographs. I am happy with the color mixing, but I think the shadows could be better. I added some color distortion in the middle of the image to give it the reflection artifact you tend to see on sun lit pictures. I tried the z-buffer shadow option, but the results were kind of weird. For example, it did not show a projected shadow from the barrel in the scene. I would appreciate it if someone could take a minute to look it over and let me know if you think it looks realistic or needs further work.

Hello all- Trying to something VERY simple and thought I would ask the List... Just trying to create a cylinder shape that has a transparency map applied so that the cylinder object gradually fades out. ( please see attachment) At first I thought I would create a Material as an "Environment map" and chose the "cylinder" drop down menu; but I don't think you can define the bitmap that you chose to be a transparency map when applied. Then I thought of simply stamping the transparency map from all four directions (front,back,left,right) directly on the cylinder... but I'm guessing there must be a simpler way to apply a transparency map to a cylinder. …
