I was kind of hoping that AM's reflections would go further. This is with reflectivity at 100%, distance of 60000cm and a step of 10.

QT - Sorenson3 - 1.3mb I realised that I'd done some alterations to this piece (under the great advice of Mr J Barrett) and hadn't posted the final version. It's been sitting on my hard drive, neglected and alone for a month or two, and seeing as it's a finished piece, I thought that I'd post it in here. (The version posted on this forum and elsewhere is different to this one). The alterations are fairly minor, but definately add up to a much stronger little scene. They mainly relate to arcs, and carrying an action through more. I'm a sucker for details. I learnt a heck of alot from this one.

I finally finished this animation. It's been a lot of off-and-on work, but I think I'm happy with where it is right now. This animation is my first REAL completed animation. Everything in it, from concept to modeling to texturing to animation to audio was done by me. And the link: https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/vandeweghe/web/...eactionsweb.mov Here's the link to thier website: http://www.brainreactions.com/index.php

This is my first animation with particle system and force, the avi is a preview and my actual is in tga. However, I face some rendering defects in the final render and retouched inPhotoshop, see attached img. Any idea what is the cause? The entire sequence took about 15 hrs, currently trying object colision.

I'm working on my image for the X-mas contest. And I'm running into problem. If you note the image below, there are certain parts of the candles where the translucency is not working properly (It's visible in the reflection on the table, too). I've tried changing materials, checking normals, altering the light source creating the translucency, but everything I try gives me the same results. Suggestions, work-arounds, comments. I can make a larger render if necessary.

I've been tasked with creating several rooms. Here's my first room using AO. Before this project, I've never really used anything but normal lights (I've never used radiosity or AO before). One thing I notice is how grainy the whole thing looks, despite using some okay settings for sampling and passes. Also, it's very bright at the top, which sort of blows out the ceiling area and ceiling fan. I wasn't expecting that. I'm unsure how to make the lighting more even. Any thoughts on how to improve are welcome. Please keep in mind I'm brand-new to AO when you make suggestions. Settings: AO: on No radiosity. No real lights in the scene. ambiance intensi…

Started working on a new slider model that has hair poses. You'll be able to change color, length and slide to different hair styles. It's still in the early stages, but I thought I'd show you to see what you think. I plan on adding a slider for a ponytail too. I used Jane from the cd for my test subject. Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

What I want to have is a background showing the noise eg. on a TV-screen. And hopefully not only black and white noise - but RGB-noise - Red, Green, Blue - noise. I have had a look on this: http://www.dotnet.se/aaver/Water/RainEffects/index.html made by the forum member aaver Perhaps that is the way to go? Making a noise-material. Someone having a noise-material to offer? Or some suggestions how to make " The-War-Of-The-Ants-Material"! I have had a try - rendering time is long so the rendering is short - rendering time also a problem - and it is not really the thing - but perhaps a start... Have a look at noise_media01.avi OK!

Well it has not even been a week since I got my software . After some fuss and a needed update, i started to jump into modeling. I have learned a lot and I have almost memorized the keyboard shorcuts and it really has made my workflow really fly. I feel proud of myself, and now I would show off a work that just sparked an idea in my head. Voila! A light*cough*saber*cough*..blade..excuse me, had something in my throat. [attachmentid=15843]

Hi all, I created a simple table that I made an action for that does a basic walk cycle on a path. I also created a choreography action that transitions the walk to a stop. It worked great last night but for some reason it doesn't appear to be working now. Would someone please take a look at the project (I'm using V15.0i) and see what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just not seeing. Thanks, George table_walk.prj

This is a test of importing some .3ds ships into AM. The blooms were originally gonna be done in AM (finally figured out how to use AM composite and was quite impressed) however, I liked the blooms in FCE more, so I went with those blooms instead. But the lens dirt and all that are AM, so yeah, have a look see EDIT- Whoops, I always forget this place doesn't have a youtube embed, I'm so used to putting in the tags

Hi Guys I am new here, and I would like to show you my last 3D animation that I did with polygons, Why? Cause now I am learning to use Hash 2003 and it seems the best way to make better animations, I have some time in 3D, one of those who used Amiga computers, so I had to learn Imagine it was very hard to learn but it was fun, 2 years ago I got the 2.0 version for PC, too bad it was the last version they never released the 3.0 one, so just about 6 months ago I decided to make this Macross 3d Animation to enter in a "Anime Music Contest Video" in Anime-Expo 2003 but I wasn't able to send the video cause they didn't had a normal address and the shipping company told me that…

I have been experimenting with some of the game models available at http://thefree3dmodels.com. There are over 1,000 models there, most are in OBJ and 3DS format. The site is free and the models download pretty fast. Because many of these models were used in the game industry, they are set up to be efficient in terms of detail. They are much smaller than the usual file sizes for these formats. It is interesting to see how they were put together to maximize the ease of use and texturing processes. The included textures alone are worth examining the models. I got interested in one of the face models because of its simplicity and the way it takes decals without to…

So...I've been modeling a new character. But I started to work on the foot, and I completed a little more than half of it. But for some reason there is an area which is protruding from it, that always ends at 0,0 on the grid; no matter where I put the rest of the foot. This happened to me before and I was able to fix it. But this time, the "thing" has no CP's or splines or anything. I don't know how it got there, but it just won't go away. Its totally brought my work to a screeching halt. If Someone could solve this mystery I would appreciate it very much. Thanks! Robert Lazzarini

I took a break from rigging and made this old chisel today. A generic render. no radiosity The model has diffuse map set to color, a grayscale map set to diffuse, 2 spec maps, and a normal map. The spec maps I'm still working on as 3Dcoat and how AM renders them is different. 3Dcoats spec map will work,just have to tweak them some more.

Haha! AP tests are done and I can get back to my orc. I modelled the arms (minus the hands) but I don't think that's worth posting because for the animation I'm planning, they won't really be shown. Anyway, now I'm on to texturing, and I need some criticism. I don't think that I'm really going for REALISM realism, but if anyone has any ideas on how to make it MORE realistic, that'd be awesome. Of course, if you just want to give me encouragement, I suppose that's ok too... But if anyone tells me that he should be green or purple or something, I will personally track them down and hurt them. -Andrew P.S. Ok, yeah, the image contrast has been touch…

Hi all. I have tried to visualize an Mp3-player design that I had in my head. This is yet another retro design attempt (I kind of like retro design). While I tried to make the player function as an traditional ear-plug player with an necklace, it is also given an little speaker so it can function as an small table player (not an powerful one though ). Hope you like it. btw, The DOF does give some artifacts on the earplug in the background (this is an 25 pass render with soft ON). Regards Stian [attachmentid=15204]

Hi all! This thread will, hopefully, document the development of my series that I've been working on for years and years. I've been drawing these grape characters most of my life and I had a storyline that I tried on many occasions to draw/model and animate. As hard as I tried, nothing really "clicked" with me. Until two weeks ago. I was sketching a grape character and suddenly had a Breakthrough moment when I adjusted the porportions of the generic grape person and had a drawing that clicked with me. And then I had a rush of inspiration of the world that these characters live in and its history.It was as if all these ideas were just under the surface and waiting for…

Hello everyone, I reworked my May 07 "Toon" Image contest entry and am posting it here for your review. I made a few changes in Photoshop and I prefer this version over my contest entry. The model is my own original design of a transforming Fighter Plane/ Robot that is part of a short personal animation project that I am working on. The model is designed so that I don't need to swap models when I am transforming in in a shot. It is rigged and ready to go. The mech in the image is one of the mecha designs that will be in the short. This model is pretty much done but I have a few more minor details to work on on this model (so it is still a …
