I'm working with a small team on a short animation where a character walks through a room filled with obscure objects floating in large test tubes. Based on previous still image work, I immediately thought of using image maps to speed up the production process (since modeling dozens of obscure wispy objects would eat up a lot of time). What I ended up doing was creating two perpendicular planes and mapping them with front and side views of the same object. All looks reasonably well when both planes are about 45 degrees rotated from the camera view but when one of them rotates parallel to the camera direction it creates an obnoxious dark line in the middle of the object. S…

I've got everything in place except the fingers. When I started opening the hidden bones, I discover that there's a single bone labeled "Right Thumb", but below that there are additional bones for each joint. What do I do? Do I put the "Right Thumb" bone in place, and layer the other three joints over it? Or...

Hello Everyone, I've been working this animation for the Villikon Chronicles (www.villikonchronicles.com). I have posted the progress of the main female character Mysterre. The texturing will come soon. You can visit my web page to see other artwork and other progress.GraphicAnime Site: VillikonChronicles Project Another thing. If anyone knows about a 3rd party program that imports OBJ or 3DS models into Animation Master well, please let me know. I had someone send me a sentinal model that was done in Maya. He gave me the OBJ model. When I imported it into AM the splines of the model became very jagged and pointy.

I thought about this when I posted my first tutorial on johnl3d.blogspot.com I used a pose without explaining how... so I guess that should be my next tutorial. I find creating a pose to do an effect very useful . In this example to show what I mean I have a rough egg shape change color then disappear..go transparent.. I set this up with two simple poses..which are set up in the action window where you set up a new pose. I could have made an action but that would require more work and more setup in the end. Here I imported the same model into the chor and scaled it so each fit inside the other then simply move the pose over time for each one ...pose 1 to change the …

I am playing around with Sam and the 11second club audio file. Not sure if i will have time to finish it. The rig is great, but making a character alive and believable is still hard. So many things I feel look strange, 11 seconds seems huge. I encourage everybody to try tthis great rig though. Ten_second_march23a.mov Michel

I was convinced by a friend to start a Blog. Despite less-than-riotous enthusiasm on my part, he pressed on, built it, and posted a few animations. It was great! I've been meaning [for years] to update my website. [Who hasn't?] This was so painless. And the blog will take file sizes 'way beyond what I can e-mail to friends. So here's my first public posting. A Santos-Dumont Airship No.6 is rendered over several views of the Eiffel Tower, giving the appearence [with only a mild suspension of disbelief] of circumnavigating. The clips were edited together in Sony Vegas Movie Studio. http://kelleythennow.blogspot.com/

My question is, what do the different types of constraints do? There are so many of them and I am confused as to how they affect models. Thanks, MasterFunk

I was checking out nimblepix previous avatar a while ago and came up with this walk cycle. There isnt any movement in the hips or shoulders, the knees go up to high, and the steps are slow (I noticed this after it rendered out) but I like it better than my first one. walkc2.mov I also decided to upload model that I wont be using. It was made in version 11 and modified in 14, I am now using the latest version so I dont know what it works in. ZEKE.MDL

hello, its me again. not sure how many people remember a thread i started a while ago about a movie i wanted to make called metal invasion. well the movie is still canceled, but i didn't want to completely give it up, so i continued making models for it in hopes of one day i finally get to make the movie. anyway, i mention that i was having trouble coming up for a design for the combat droid. now i finally have a design and I'm nearly complete with it. I'm going off of a design my friend made i have the upper body, lower body and hands completed. comments/crit are welcome.

I had to leave on a business trip this past Friday and just came back. When I left, AM was running perfectly on my desktop. Upon turning my desktop on just now, I was very surprised to find that my WIP chor, which had no issues last Friday, now looks like all lights are down to about 10%, almost black. Naturally the values in the PWS have not changed, but the chor is almost black nonetheless. Thinking this might be a corrupt project file, I loaded a completely different project from a few weeks ago. The chor in that project also had the same problem, almost black. I opened one more old project and found the same. Since all chors were affected, I knew it had to be s…

Nothing really fancy, just blocking out some animation and figuring out lighting, textures, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbxnOFebxWc Here a little info: Still working on V9.5, still facial capture by hand (at least for the basic blocking of the animation), very basic materials. I hate the first scene (too "noisy") second one is pretty good, third is alright, fourth I just started and very rough and final is just a test. It really all is just a test at this point. Please let me know what you think and would do differently. and here is a still render (Lent starts soon) God bless ya'll!

Hi. Ive been wanting to expand my modeling skills. So I started modeling a human... My friends has a student ver. of zB.. uhm a program and let me install it on my laptop. I created a 1200 Patch base mesh in A:M and used the OBJ exporter and exported it out to the.. other program. I then sculpted it there and brought it back in, though I had to do a lot of resolution changes in the polymesh to have a clean convert to patches. The model that I use between the programs to work on has 21k patches, just at the threshold of what I needed. Here is where I am at: These to rendered at 1min15sec 5pass at Super35 each.

Hi Gang More Questions as always Found a post by dre4merback in July of 2006 and like to know more about it. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22912 I have checked through this thread and the vid clips are what I am looking for on my model. I have my model rigged with the 2001 rig and need her sleeves to move like the above movies, so how did you do that? What bones is the cloth attached to? I have done the cloth and deflector materials and created new bones, tested all kinds of ideas and just can't seem to get it. If I attach the material to different arm bones when you move the arm it rolls and flips but nothing like cloth, any suggestions?dre…

Hey guys - if anyone is interested the first anim for C2 software guy is up on their company site (which I already posted before, but just from my site) They had me do two funny "chat" animations (upper right corner of site) - "on" for when it was avail and "off" for when not avail http://www.c2crm.com/ Here is the second anim that I hadn't posted yet, which I think is completed w/ voice over and a pic of the 3 characters http://www.3dcharacteranimation.biz/patton/ Have a great rest of the weekend - Eric

Hi all, it's been a long time since I posted. Real life medical problems kept me away, not mine but family. I just got another year of Animation Master. To refresh my spline modeling I'm working (WIP) on this simple Mace type weapon. Normal map details will be done in 3DCoat. This year, I will work on learning the nuts and bolts of animation. I got Jeff Lew videos ( his older ones when he used Animation Master and Working through Barry Zundels videos as I buy them) It was good to see the the King's Throne I modeled in some of Nancy's draft videos from the Scarecrow of Oz... The rope to the mace's handle was added in another program.

Hi everybody, Since there`s no special game section around here, I am going to post my questions here. I would like to do some quite simple little online games, I don`t need realtime 3D ,so a real gameengine would be overkill. What`s in my mind for instance, are some imagesequences you activate by mouseclick or rollover, for example on rollover the figure starts to walk, then when you click on the character it jumps in the air, also I would need some kind of clock for the timelimit and some accidental generator that the scenes get exchanged from click to click. I think all this can be done with Macromedia directors Lingo and put online with the…

So I didn't actually finish the animation I was working on for animation class last semester, but I still got an A. Now the guy who did the voice over work for Flynn has been asking me when it's going to be done, and when we start on the next episode, so I figure in two weeks, when the semester is over, I should get back to work on it. Today I kinda felt like doodling a bit in A:M, so I made these two props, a rusty sword, and a wooden shield.
