While taking a quick break from TWO animating, I stumbled upon this technique. It may have been done before, but I think it looks pretty cool. I'd like to get it abit more "impressionist" looking, but can't figure it out in the render settings. See what you think! The mov file is based on this image: castle.mov

Hey there - long time no type Finally received some decent time to do my own work again and fired up A:M This is loosley based off of a character I painted some time ago. Although it is stylized I'd still like to have some feedback on my spline flow especially for the head. I think I may have too many splines? I'd like to smooth it out more and of course she will have some here and there tweaks before I add her hair and attire. Comments most welcome Thanks

I have a client who insists that I use his obj model for a project and basically what the best approach is, is to model over the obj file using splines. I imported the OBJ file into AM as a prop using Arthur's plugin. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to bring a hash model into an imported obj window or bring the obj file into a hash modeling window? Thanks for any information. Tom

I am new to the animation world and have been toying with the program and have the hang of the basics. I am working for a nonprofit organization on a project and we have a need for some models. I feel I can do the basic animation necessary for the project but cannot create the models needed. Basically, what we need is a model of a fishing rod and reel, an archery bow, and a gun. What we would like is to make these models into cartoon-like animated characters. What I am inquiring about is if there is someone who would be willing to create these character models for us. I can provide the pictures of the objects we want to use. If you would be interested, please …

Hey Everybody ... I have been working on a short animation called "Little Ditty". It's about three mice that play in a jazz band. I'm still tweaking a few things and will hopefully have the completed animation ready within a week or two. But until then, I hope that you will enjoy a couple of stills from the movie. Thanks for taking a look ... Bruce (the wedgeeguy)

I created some images for the local residents group to show the effect of widening a road and adding parking on the roadside. I've only had time to build one car, a basic Audi which uses a colour map for most of the detail, but I widened the road in a paint program and then used a camera rotoscope with the ground set to front projection. I might build some more cars, they're always useful for bg / architectural work, but the image is for a meeting tomorrow and will probably never be seen again.

I found a good ball bounce tutorial, followed it, and learned a lot more then I expected. I am beginning to break some bad habits, blocking out the animation ahead of time, and manipulating timeline splines. One thing I have noticed, A:M doesn't have spline manipulator handles, how can I get these? Without them spline in the timeline is cumbersome. I know it must be something I have missed. Anyways, here is the ball bounce test. Ball Bounce Tests.mov (Under 1MB)

Meet Jedi Dex. He is the second character in my Star Wars Fan Film. The first character is the AT-AT. I recreated the body from a Jedi model that was originally downloaded from Sci-Fi 3D, then converted to an Anim8or file. The face and head come from the Dex A:M model. There are still a lot of things that need to be done to Jedi Dex, like fixing a lot of bumps, creases and proportions, texturing and rigging him. The colors you currently see were used to differentiate a lot of the different groups in the model. I did play around with texturing his vest though. C&C always welcome...

Funny story behind this. So I am taking a 3D Animation course at the college I am going to, and the program we are using is Cinema 4D. We are doing a bouncing ball project, and I decided to do it in the program I am familiar with as well as C4D. I will compare the two when I am done and upload a comparison video if I see fit.

Ok, so I was playing around with hair yesterday, and I messed up the order of my transparencies, which sparked an idea... Fiber optic hair! Simple, make most the hair transparent, and solid at the tip. Throw in some glow, and viola! I tried it, and my mouth dropped! (What I can use it for, I haven't got a heck of a clue. ) It's probably already been done, but I thought I had to share.

As I said above: this is old news, hovewer I feel that some critiwue would be helpful (even negative critique) I have been very busy lately, so my animation which should include those two characters is in (God knows for how long) hiatus. So, I have decided to share those two with the community under condition that they would be not used for commercial purposes and that my name should be mentioned where ever they appear (more in the readme file). I will sent them as soon as I get confirmation that it is ok to post the textures (road and grass - which I have downloaded form David Gurrea's site (http://www.davegh.com/blade/davegh.htm).

Hello, I'm testing the 2001 rig of Keekat to see if it will animate well. The attached video is the first pass of keyframes. I blocked out the main poses every 5 to 15 frames at 30 fps. The poses are then locked down by setting keyframes for all active channels on that particular frame. I'll clean it up later, right now I want to be certain of the action itself, not the timing (which will be fixed later) Thus the tail only whips around once, instead of being really alive yet. Lip sync comes last and I plan to do that manually, especially since it's just noises and no words. Of course the sounds are straight off of the A:M CD. There was no cough so…

So I had to recently do an illustration of an old computer for dayjob's corporate newsletter. For looks' sake, after hunting around for reference pics, I went with a Commodore PET (but with a CBM's keyboard--I wanted the Selectric-type keys). Modeling time was around 8ish hours (even though I might never use the model again, just in case, and for learning purposes, I modeled all the recesses for the holes in which the keys and tape drive are placed--I stopped short of modeling the back, however). This is what I came up with: Next, I played with various camera angles and rotations until I found the angle I was looking for. Since this was going to end up as a…

This is the basic room with 9,000 patch. I made the cornice and I was pretty deep into it and selected almost all of them and accidently press delete when I was aiming for the forward slash and deleted the whole thing, then I prayed and waited for the system to catch up and then press undo and it all came back. Quickly I save the file, and thank my lucky stars. Close call! Turn the cornice into a bump map. I am thinking of doing the same for the ceiling with a tin impression, and a center piece for the art deco chandelier. I am doing a new render in stereo and I'll post it in the stereo of the feb contest as this is the inside of the house that I modeled for the contest.

I've had a problem with the attached model for quite some time. I've "copy/flip/attached" one side of the model several times with the same result. After making sure the middle spline is zeroed on the x-axis and cleaning up the mirrored side (completing 5-point patches, etc.) I've brought the model into an action window to flatten and paint the face. After flattening, I've manipulated the cp's on one side to get the desired results, but when I "copy/paste mirrored" to the other side, only a few of the other side's cp's are affected. I've actually completed decaling the model and rigged the face only to get the same type of "copy/paste mirrored" problems in poses. The…

I've seen a few Lego models made with A:M earlier, and since I played with Lego all the time as a kid I wanted to model a Lego model myself. Yet again I went to a toy store and bought a toy. I must say that I don't like all the new special bricks they make now, I miss the good old Lego. Anyway, I went for a truck (with a push_forward_engine), and after a few days here is the result: I've made every single brick (with bevels everywhere), even the bricks not visible, no cheating, cause I wanted to test the Newton plug-in on this one. Unfortunately I have had no luck with the plug-in yet, need to experiment some more. I've attached two renders, one standard AO with a li…
