Here's the WIP I promised in another post. This is my example picture. Pretty daunting, huh? (BTW, this is from a D&D book, so don't publish w/o permission.)

I'm still just a few inches off the ground, at the foot of the A:M learning curve. After some messing around with tutorials, I decided to have a shot at making a figure of my own. I think this Work In Progress is probably just progressing towards the trashcan - it has too many splines in some places and not enough in others, endless 3 and 5-point patches, some dead-end splines and lots of other bad stuff ('cos I don't yet know how to do it better). But I thought that making a figure of my own (complete with errors that will make it difficult or impossible to rig and animate) might be the quickest way to learn WHY models have to be built in a particular way. Bu…

This is my first attempt at a humanoid model. It's intended for a training video. My rationale for creating a crystalline skater was to make the lines and outline as clearly visible as possible (I also thought it would be easier. I don't think it was. I'll have to model a realistic character to know for sure.) He'll eventually have hands, eye balls, and ears (I hope.) I'm posting him as is because I have several specific concerns, but I would appreciate any and all comments and suggestions. 1) I wanted him to be interesting and well defined, but not too distracting or grotesque. What's your initial impression; is he just too weird? 2) I've inclu…

Taking a break from TWO, I got inspired by this physical model and created my own rendition in AM. Still yet to be textured/displaced and animated. He's more or less rigged. I'd love to show off his animation in HAMR with realtime fog but we need the next player for that.....

I started this model-no rotoscopes/drawings or pictures by demonstrating to a friend how to construct an eye, then it sort of got fleshed out when I had nothing better to do. Now I cant help but feel I got something a bit wrong, but I may be too involved in his face. He seems to resemble me a lot as well.

Hi I got a request at the 3dfrog store to make this model. I had a lot of fun making it. I am quite happy with it. Attached are some pics and a movie of it in action. The animation isn't so great, it is just something quick to show her in action. Comments and criticisms are welcome. Edit: My host's server might be faster to view the movie: http://www.3dfrog.com/wips/AMsmiley.mov AMsmiley.mov

Hi, I'm working on a theatre set. The red curtains open. The curtains are animated using cloth simulation in A:M 13. I almost got it nailed, but not entirely. So much parameters, I'm tweaking my ass off. Each time I have to tweak, simulate, tweak, simulate... Is there anybody who knows how to make these curtains move like the real thing? I'll post my curtain-project. It has the animated curtain. Just run the cloth simulation in the chor and see how far I got it. Never mind the missing decals. Please help me make this work. Thanks!

Hi, Back in July I posted the ‘first take’ of the battleship model and got some good feedback. I had already turned my attention to improving character eye movement (see videos 1 and 2), then designed a uniform (for the battleship) (images 1 and 2) and started rigging it. Then, finally, I got back to the ‘Battleship’. The most common comment was that it needed to be bigger. It’s way bigger… [attachmentid=21114] And way meaner…. [attachmentid=21115] Detailed images here. And it has a kick-ass bridge… [attachmentid=21116] Detailed images here. The ship is broken into 9 models to keep it manageable. These are assembled in a chor …

I was looking through some of my old comics & annuals, trying to decide if anything was suitable for my seven year old (none of it is). There was a pretty good schematic for Judge Dredd's bike, so I started on it. This is the MkI Lawmaster. The Mk2 has cannons. These are the ones from the 2000AD and Judge Dredd comics: the one in the Stallone film is just a disguised Harley, so it has relatively thin tyres. I don't recall the flying one in the film ever being in the comics, but they did start thirty years ago (God I'm old, now) so my memory may have failed me. There are some obvious faults, such as one of the tailpipes going through the rear wheel bodywork, …

This is model of Mikke Musse . I have posted older version of it once upon a time, but Rodney reminded me that I should repost it, which I have (thanks Rodney) [attachmentid=20913] I was going for the 30's look of the character, so have in mind that they used to draw him with dimes in that time, so Mikke didn't Squashed and Stretched much... It is rigged with older version of the Squetch rig, so it doesn't have all the bells and whistles (No hand gizmo, no face rig), but it squetches well. I have made improvised version of the face rig with controls that I felt were necessary for this simple character, and they can be pretty expressive;) Many than…

Stylized Landscape, do you like it, or is it too different. I like it, but what do you guys think. I have also stylized the trees, there is a sample of one of them in the Mtn pic. I modeled a canoe in the lake one, I'm working on the charaters now. These we just tests, of the look of the landscapes. So camera angles etc. would be different with the charaters, and the lighting would foucus on the charaters more than backgrounds etc. Dwayne http://www.dwaynejensen.com

Hi all. here's a jacket i'm doing for a character. known issues are things like the general shape needs a bit of tweaking and such. My specific question regards decals. I'm really looking for a more interactive method of positioning a decal. What I mean is that I want a way to apply a decal, then move the cp's around UNDER the application, till the texture is in the right place. This should take place in an Action. Right now the process works like this- apply stamp look at model delete stamp move cp apply stamp rinse repeat. what i'm hoping for is more interactive than that. Any ideas?

Greetings all. Well new question. I have a model (space station) 2 ships approach and go inside. It renders a 3 sec clip in say 45 min. Then I created a second chor. and placed the camera inside the station to view them as the ships come inside. Wants to render in like 10 hours?????? so took the original chor. and placed the camera inside and tried again, still wants to render the final 25 frames in like 5 hours. The station has a decal on it and is smaller in the original chor. but when inside the station the decal is huge. Would that have a difference on the render time? I just don't understand why the inside shot takes longer to render than the out…

Hi, I assembled all the footage (you know what I mean) done for the Spiral Slayer Book Trailer--mostly screen or concept tests--and put all three musical scores behind it. Also added credits--the 5 or 6 Hash artists who helped with the designs, modeling, texturing, etc. In truth it's long and boring, LOL, but perhaps not so much to other Hash animators. Its here! Remember, play it full screen and have your sound on. Also, very few scenes are finished product and no story is really told. Cheers, Rusty

Ok, so I've been trying to figure out the best way to animate a chain and sprocket like on a bicycle, but I see no easy way to do this. The easiest way I can think of is to use a path in a chor, and add a bone to each link in the chain that would follow the path. Then, I guess I would have to constrain the path to the sprockets. Please let me know if you have any better way to do this?? Oh, another question...why isn' it possible to add a path in an Action? Wouldn' this be useful? Thanks, Eugene

Here's mine... Render and zipped file. Rename your original 'Default Chor.cho' file to something like 'Default Chor Old.cho'. Then place the Default Chor.cho from my zip file in your Hash Inc\V13.0 folder. I can create this for V12, but I am making this for the new Extra CD and V13 should be a done deal by then. EDIT: 8:30pm 02/16/2006, I updated the zip file... per Ken's suggestions, you can now drop a 7' character in the chor and it will be perfect. defaultchor_timelord.zip
