Hey peeps, been working on this animation the last couple days. Just something for my demo reel. I haven't animated the second character yet, but he's going to be looking at a paper or something. Can you guess what's going to happen next? Yeah, he's gonna wipe it on the poor guy, but in a very discreet manner. Anyway, comments welcome! Enjoy! sneeze_low.mov

Hi everyone I know in the modeling window scaling the model will effect the hair, but in the choreography scaling the model, if I recall, didn't effect the hair. This is a pic of the model at normal scale.

Going back to basics and completed the giraffe. Glad to see that my mechanical modeling on the sub has paid some dividends. The giraffe was fast and easy compared to the Nautilus. Only problem, though, is that the giraffe decal is distorting in every 5 point patch. What is the remedy? The tut includes the 5 point patches also, but gives no advice on the distortions.

These are not award winning items to showcase, but they are interesting examples of how Animation Master allows you to do some none traditional "character" animation: Bill's Experiments These originated with "The Mother of All Blobbies", my first experiment animating a character whose "limbs" were more like the pseudopods of an ameoba than arms and legs. This was done by manipulating CPs with the various tools of AM. I then created a "pseudopod" test model basically made of a tube with each spline ring along its length assigned a bone. The bones were then constrained to each other in a hierarchy so that I could stretch or squash the "tenticle" simply by manipulating a…

I made this portfolio for a class, which required 3 original shorts, each around 5 seconds long. I'm still learning about modeling, rigging and animation, so I appreciate any comments and constructive criticism on how I can improve. Hope you enjoy.

As requested by Andy, Here is an example of making models for both spline and poly, you can have the best of both world if you are prepared for it. That means you have to find out the poly program you use is compatible when dealing with .OBJ, I use several and found that not all behave the same, so its trial and error. Below is a comparison of the two, first is the spline with no hooks nor 5 point patch, after decal and export in .OBJ then increase spline geometry and re-stamp.

Hello everyone! Just would like to use this as a short introduction and show off what I am currently working on. I moved 3 years ago and JUST NOW found my A:M that I thought was lost! I use V9.5. It's actually partway stable, that is once you develop the "sense" (of when it's gonna crash). I'm thinking about getting the newest version (like what, 15..?). Is it stable now? Still crashing like crazy...? Anyway, here are some things. I am fooling around with 3 cartoon heads from a website I am designing/maintaining. I get paid for it, but it's not my primary occupation. You'll see the three guys on the website here http://tresjosestexmex.com/ And here…

I have actions set that go beyond the length of where I need the Chor Lengh to be. I set the length of Chor to 1:20:00 and that is fine while the project is opened and things render correctly. I have several items that move along a path. But then when I exit and restart, the Chor Length goes back to a very long time. I know what the issues is - it is resetting to the longest action in my project. I have 1000's of items that were dropped in ( TREES ). Each Tree was added as I found the camera angle to be exposing areas where I needed to see trees. I know what someone is going to say - go edit each tree / item and reduce the action line for each on…

I know there are a couple of bits to smooth out in the motion but anyway... The rig is the Hash 2001 with a version of Mike Fitz`s brilliant `cogs` added for the knees, hips and elbows. The body has a bone in the belly for the bounce/follow through. Anzovins WeightMover was used for the entire upper body and nicely smoothed out the shoulders and belly etc. DadWalk

This is based on sketches my 15 year old couzin drew, she's an insane 2d artist at this age already, i'm thinking she'll be working in the industry in no time. I'm doing this model to try and show her she should get AM and turn her characters into 3D. He's still in progress of course but comments and crits are welcome. Eventually he'll get a nice big blade, and most likely a gun of some sort as well. I think i'm happiest with his gloves as it was rather complex to place the gaps into them. I'm not all that happy with his face just yet. -Ethan [attachmentid=16099] [attachmentid=16101]

Hi. I work for an A-V event production company that does lighting and sound for concerts. I wanted to see how it would work doing lighting previz in A:M, and try out my own ideas for shows. I tried to incorperate a few basic lighting styles, with plans to add more once I had a system worked out. I found that it is a lot of work and I need to work on setting up a good system for general light control. To control the lights I use a combination of poses, actions, and cho actions. I would preffer to have a library of premade actions, but that didn't always work. Anyways, here are some stills and a short animation of the work so far. C+C welcome. ,, The video …

Hey hallowed hashers! I've been laying low, but have had a chance to get 45 seconds of full finished animation of my 4 'Rollin Stone characters...here's how it's lookin'... I will let it render over the holiday and hope to post something on A:M Films by the NewYear... I am rendering at double D1 res (1440X972) so the hair won't 'jitter' on video and it is taking about 17 minutes per frame so it will be awhile...I have 4 processors on 2 machines working on it. A 4X4 multipass D1 render was over 32 min. Does anyone in the A:M community offer renderfarm services?

As you can see below I am still piecing him together. The coloring is temporary and I am going to try making a bump map so he has the right shell. What I want to use him for, however, requires him to speak. I discussed this with a few people on the IRC chat and they said the best way to do it was to animate his face, then apply it to the model as a decal. Someone also mentioned that it is possible to use pose sliders with the decal so I could apply the decal and still change it. Does anyone know how this is done? This sounds like what I need to use.

Hey folks. I had started an AT-AT from Star Wars a while back, and am releasing it to the community here. It doesn't have any textures on it, but it is rigged and the project comes with a basic walk cycle for it. Feel free to download the model for your own use. If you happen to add textures to it, or change it in any way, please post the updated project and textures here so others can have access to it as well. There is a read me in the zip file that contains a history of changes. Please add a description of your changes to the History, so you can receive proper credit. When it comes time for the next Extras CD/DVD, I would like to submit the lates…

This has been on the shelf for a while, so I thought I'd dust it off and work on some improvements. Might incorporate it in an entry for the September image contest. So far this design is far too mechanical. I want to modify it quite a bit to give it a more "organic"--and menacing--look. Any suggestions will be quite welcome. The really interesting challange will be to rig it for animation. Any suggestions for that will also be quite welcome. It is basically a "boneless" anatomy according to the novel, so it will probably look best if it can move much like a squid's tentacles or an elephant's trunk. Really looking forward to Guillermo Del Toro's version of…

I've discovered a strange thing when using 5X multi-pass rendering with skylights in v12.0n+. As shown in the attached image I have two spheres in front of a flat shaded skydome. The first sphere has a diffuse colour of 128, 128 128 while the second is 255, 255, 255. The first pair of images shows a comparison of lighting the spheres with a single klieg and rendering an image with and without multi pass. As expected, no noticeable difference. However in the next image set, I turn off the klieg and turn on my 52 bulb skylights (a variation on one of Yves' setups). The first image shows the render with no multi-pass. The next five images are images after turn…

Hi folks, In order to distract me from my lightingtests, I did this version of the Nibelung Ring, that Alberich forged out of the Rheingold which he had stolen from the Rheintöchter (mermaids). This Ring grants him the greatest powers (worldreign and so on ), but at the same time curses him to live without love forever. The curse is symbolized by the dragon Fafnir devouring himself out of greed. Besides of its incredible magical power, this ring holds some additonal close combat weaponery: a poisonous sting and some extractable razorsharp (mermaids) fins. http://www.jostkeller.de/dreid/testing/Rhe...dRing111011.zip Crits welcome

And what does everyone recommend doing to the top of the head? I just took the top hole and scaled it down, is there a smoother way around this? Also what should I go about doing for eyes?

Heigh-ho. In this thread, Noah Brewer describes a technique for blending two different scales of models into the same scene, so you can create, say, a pull-back from a close-up of a person out to the city which the person is in. I decided to try it out, and this was the result. http://www.hash.com/users/zachbg/cameramatch.mov Lady Goodbody is in a separate choreography from Shaggy and the background, and no scaling is done in either choreography. See Noah's post for details. Project file attached (uses characters from the 2005 CD). Lady_G_Runs.prj

Finally getting back to my Cluedo project, I am near to finishing the Hall scene. The only thing I'm lacking is a grandfather clock that I haven't built yet. The 3D scene itself will be used properly for some short animations, but for my purposes the interactive part will be done in Macromedia Director using QTVR. (Off-topic: for those who don't know what that is, QTVR is Quick Time Virtual Reality. A panoramic wrap-around image is used as the background and by sliding the image left and right it looks as though you are in a virtual scene. Hotspots will be used to represent clues and other things.) What I need to know is how to create panoramic scenes using A:…
