Hi all, I've been thinking of doing a character of a frog bone warrior for a while now. I have done a painting of him to help visualize him. My painting skills are a little rusty as I just started painting again after like 6 years of not painting. Sorry the pic is low quality, i took it with my web cam. Let me know what you think of this character. Comments, criticisms, suggestions welcome. Thanks

My questions are: what's the best way to create grass? and how do I create sand? Here's the space I need to fill out:

I was playing around in AM saturday night and just got an inkling to make this just to see how close I could model a realistic one and a couple of hours later I had this. In AM it's a breeze. I'll be getting his eye's and dentures in soon and decaling. I have a little bit of smoothing to do yet I figure it'll be fairly easy to rig. Any body got any tips on how to create "murky" water.

Hi Spliners Here my attempt to make Water with an animated Material. I know, that the waves are too fast and the color of the Water is too blue. I already changed the color ( look at the image). But before I start the next animated rendering, I want to ad some Force, to move the Hair (Grass). But I never did it before and so my question is, how to do it. CU Maszie

Alright..practicing some Mr. Ball stuff..he walks up the step..I was thinking of having him jump off after this, but that's unoriginal...I want something original (not falling back down the stairs, either). Maybe I'll stick w/ him jumping off. I'll aslo fix the seaping later..I just want the real basic concept of action then touch up later walkingup.mov mp4 version: walkingupjamaciga.mp4

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.

This was a weekend project. I wanted to experiment with some composting and chroma screens (harder than I thought! You've gotta get the lighting just right!) and basically just do something fun that I could also use to learn more about the software. So...here it is! My five minute silent film: Death Over France http://www.irish-studios.com/DeathOverFrance.mov Be warned...this is a 39.5 meg download so if you don't have broadband, you probably don't want to try downloading this. Enjoy!

If I wanted to make a sphere about 6 feet in diameter and wanted it to radiate a light or glow for several feet in all directions (like a giant lightbulb with volumetrics turned on) how would I do it? I want the falloff to be further out than "glow" can provide. Any ideas? In the pic, you'll notice that the light projection is coming from slightly in front of the dome (klieg) I want the light projection to come from all around the dome.

I recently changed my Avatar to a clip of one of my 'gurlee gurls' unleashing her hair, it worked pretty well for a test...thought I would show the gang. In the model, the character's hair is 'down' with dynamics ON...then I made a pose with hair 'UP' and dynamics OFF... and as I animate I turn the pose from ON to OFF and the hair falls and becomes dynamic, which I thought was purty cool... I plan to further explore the ability to use grooming mode in poses and actions. To see the clip, simply roll-over my avatar and a button will appear to see the QT sample.

I was so inspired by Will Sutton's tree - that I had to give it a go. I had a leftover tree from when I was playing around with Marcel Bricman's Treez plugin - added hairy foilage - (2 emitters, 2 diffuse color decals) - When I rendered - decided I didn't like the colors - went into photoshop - changed to Grayscale, added the mountain horizon in the background - tweaked the contrast - Produced something very unusual for me - not cartoony - not really real - but pseudo-tromp-d'oeil... Will also post the original rendering

Hi, I'd really appreciate it if some of you could critique my Woozle piece, The Blackboard. It's the first animation of any substance that I've completed, and I'd like to take the many many lessons learned and opinions forward to the next project (as yet undecided). The current hash link is http://www.hash.com/users/minimovie/blackboard.html There is also a smaller window media player version available on my home page http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~oztiff/ Thanks!

I thought I might post a little water test I did. It looks very promising. I used an animated displacement and bump map (you can see the line where the bump map begins). I used the babbage patch tutes to help me out. Anyway, just thought people might be interested. Cheers Shaun water_displacement.mov

I am playing around with spotlights (klieg) and the source they come from. I made a box with a small translucent dome in the front of it. Inside the box I put a telephone - all for experimentation purposes only. In an action window I put a "bulb" light source in the dome and a klieg just in front of the dome. The klieg has volumetrics turned on to see a nice beam coming from the box. The illusion is to make the viewer believe the beam is eminating from the light source in the box through the dome to the outside. The dome has glow turned on. When I do a Q render in the action window, everything looks pretty good - the telephone can be seen throught the translu…

This is a bot I modeled based on a friend of mine's illustration. You can see the original drawing here. Considering that I did it only from that drawing I'm pretty pleased with the way it's turning out. I still have a little more shading to do but I hope you like.

I have a klieg shining out of the side of the sub that casts these wierd beams. I just want a smooth diffuse beam. Tried rendering with multi pass and without - both show same funky beams. Tried volumetrics on and off, no difference. Anyone? There is also a plain bulb in the wheelhouse which is not doing what I want. I want the bulb to dramatically illuminate the inside of the wheelhouse with a good amount of light shining through the bulb windows but not through the rest of the hull. Any suggestions?

I've been bending these splines forever. It started out as a project to learn AM. The modeling is essentially finished unless someone notices a glaring flaw. The head and body were modeled and decaled separtely. I wonder if the proportions and the decaling aren't matched? I'm not finished texturing and the hair is still preliminary.
