so...after discussion various cloud making methods for ages, i sat down for...4hours or so and ended up with these things thats 23 planes >_<, all with displacement maps. first one look pretty good, second attempt looks..dunno whats going on there. might be the position of the light..might have something to do with the toon shader (i just dont like normal render >_< ). thing took 26min to render so its kinda hard to figure out stuff like that.. ill try to render a small vid of it overnight.....hopefully ^^

First of all I must admit that this render is inspired by Fabrice and his keychain. But I hope that you don't consider this as an rip off (even though I used an wooden floor texture). I have been trying to understand radiosity, and its hard but interesting. MUCH to learn yet I went to an store and bought an 5$ toy car and scanned the box, then I created the box in A:M and used the scanned image as an decal. Then I rigged the box to make it foldable. Hope you like it btw: render size: 1280x1024 render time: *coughing*36hr*coughing* Regards Stian Ervik Wahlvåg Image has been updated to final version

This post is more of a query than a showing of new work, but I'm going to be presumptuous and post this in the WIP rather than the New Users forum. This is a model of an inline speed skate. This is my second model, the first with curved surfaces, so I have a number of questions. I'm sure all of these questions have been asked and answered before, but I'm still looking for those answers. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd certainly appreciate it. 1. What is the best way to remove the creases in the model's surface? 2. Ideally, I'd like to radius the edges of the frame (the metal structure below the boot), but the short splines connecting the…

Hey guys a few weeks ago I was going on and on with posts when I finished my model. More fun to animate than to set up! Anyhows, this is one of the same vids, but from the back side... I was messing with trying blur settings out... I set the multi pass to 5 and then blurred it in a QuickTime export. http://www.vrcops.com/vids/BackR2PB.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey guys (and gals), I've been working hard at the grindstone modeling an NYPD Impala that transforms into voila, a Transformer. Convenient eh? I've been working hard to make sure it somewhat resembles an impala. The headlights and grill look a little funky, and every time I attempt to shrink it or adjust it, it only affects the hood and creates funky bends. Anyway, I'm building the internal gadgets as we speak, and expect to have a fully functioning knee joint by tomorrow. I only wish to have everything in one model so I can animate it without any unnecessary trickery. Sorry if the image quality is a bit crappy, I'm becoming impatient with the rendering time…

Hey guys, I've spent the last day or two tinkering around with the idea of a low-res BB batman for fun. Anyway, I couldn't find many great reference images, so the majority of the work has been guessing. Meh, I'm not losing much sleep over it either. I know there are a couple hard angles and other kinks to work out, but I don't intend to render this guy at 800 x 600 at all. ...Tommorrow, the utility belt.

Hey Guys, Simon here, (a.k.a. Guernseyfreak ) I'm not sure if anyone out there remembers the Against The Author (ATA) Motion Picture I was directing, after all, I haven't posted in such a long time... Um.... to update from last time I told you about the movie. Yes, of course it is being made in Animation Master, Version 11 I think. A couple of months back we had a major system crash and lost a year and a half of work on it, but now we are back on track thanks to a very dedicated team. Since last time I posted I have been trained with the New York Film Academy and done backstage work for Universal Studios, promoting a Universal Studios in Japan, so…

Muscle-man type. A bit of a brute. Most of the detail I've worked on is in his face. The rest of him will (hopefully) get it's detail from texturing rather than modeling parts of his costume.

Hello chaps, It just struck me that it's been almost 2 or 3 months since I last posted any work here and that I've mainly been commenting other peoples stuff. However, a new school year means new inspiration, so here goes. Here's my attempt at a semi-realistic human, male head. The forehead and backhead is still under work, so is his nose and his mouth(I don't like his mouth at all, it doesn't look good):

In the attached image I have several different styles of simple "building" graphics all created from one model with several poses. Now... check out the short building and the tall building. I am using a "window" decal with a color image and a bump image with a repeat. For the tall building I increase the vertical repeat.. depending on the height I increase or decrease this value. My question is this... I am very lazy... would there be a way to "link" the Y repeat of one image in a decal to another image? ... or... for bonus points, would there be a way to link the Y repeat value to the value of the "height" pose? I would love to have the "windows"…

I have kept up-to-date with my blog and modeling 30 household objects (6 so far) but now I have added animations as well with the aim of 30 animations. After 3 animations I am really pleased with the progress, of course it is not wonderful or awe inspiring but I am moving in the right direction and moreover my 3rd animation gave me a sense of achievement as I was able to do everything I wanted in A:M because I had spent the time gaining the knowledge on how to do it. anyhow if you follow the link at the bottom and select the animation page you can see the progress. As usual the blog etc. is up-to-date.

Way back when I picked up a SNES controller and beat the crap out of Andross and his minions to save the galaxy. The music was rocking, the shoot-em up was excellent, and the original game is still fun for me to play even to this day. So once I got my footing in Animation Master, I knew I just HAD to recreate the Arwings in full 3DCG glory. Each piece of the image was rendered separately and merged together in photoshop later. The final output is below. The only thing I can think of to make the models better is to figure out a way to get a light source to produce a lense flare while inside a polygon form to create an actual light, and not just …

I just posted a trailer for my recently completed short "Skeeters". You'll find it at my site http://fleebagstudios.com. The cool thing is the film itself is showing Labor Day weekend at the North American Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Festival in Seattle(http://www.cascadiacon.org/Film%20Festival.htm). Show times are Friday, September 1, 11 AM; Saturday, September 2, 4 PM; and Monday, September 5, 10 AM. I will present my film at the Saturday showing. And of course Skeeters was made using A:M! Enjoy.

I am enjoying my new found skill with the toon render... it is finally starting to make sense to me. I have two questions... 1) Per the attached image... is it possible to create "edge" highlights... closer to my reference drawing? I know... it isn't "realistic" lighting... would there be a way to fake this with the toon gradient somehow? Or a group with different settings? Would like as simple a solution as possible... may have to animate this stuff later. Hard to see in the illustration but those highlights on the edges "taper" off at the ends. 2) I noticed that if I do small test renders... my bump maps seem to be offset... I have two images in…
