This is a character i made when I was about 13. I never got to make him in 3d until now. I will keep tweaking him as well as adding some actions for him. Ill post as I get time to work on him.

This is a perlin material applied to a plane I applied a rnd()*5 expression on some of the material settings and rendered if you are bothered by flashing lights do not watch if you scroll the bar you can get an idea as to what perlin can do this was just a test not to be necessarily useful perlin.mov

I've been playing about with A:M for a couple of weeks and got a little too carried away. Once I'd got my head around reusable actions and lip synching, I put together a music video featuring my brother-in-law. If I can finish it in time, it may well be presented to him on a DVD for Christmas! Any tips, pointers, critiques welcomed (don't be too harsh, I'm still battling with the newcomers tutorials....) You should spot that the body is ripped from the Robber and I've had to decal all my facials on, as I'm rubbish at modelling!!

Good day all! I'm truly not at the level of the rest of the users but "I've screwed my courage to the sticking post" and put up my first model. All I have to do now is figure out how to put some bones on it. Hints, suggestions and comments are very much welcome. The model can be viewed at the following address: http://www.cmcarts.ca/AM.htm thanks, Gaëtan (now if I can just fiugre out how to put in a smilie!?)

Check it out! After watching Spongebob I decided to model Squidward's unique house...I haven't "colored" it yet but I'm pretty much done modeling except for the door...since I don't have a lot of time, I might apply it as a decal or something along those lines...:

I don't know how many renders I've made of this scene and I just noticed that the grass on the right doesn't fill the frame. Oh well, one more thing to work on. Other things: I think larger sprites would make the mist look better. The blue rock she's honding should be glowing and shiney. Guess I forgot to turn Glow on. The land in the back needs something to establish how far away it is. Like a fence or signs or something. I need to find a solution to her hair. Now a hair material's length is driven by a BW targa but, as seen on her forehead, doesn't disappear where I expected it to. Maybe I'll put the hair material on a separate mesh underneath…

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/

So, out of both a personal desire to a 6x6 ATV (c'mon, we all want a Banana Buggy!), and needing one for a client's website (they sell these, but the manufacturer has no 3D models of these), I decided to give it a whack in AM. Still need to add details (pedal, controls, seat, headlights and taillights, gas cap, gauges, rollbar-c'mon sweeper for Mac!), but thought I'd post what I have so far. Comments, crits welcome. Greg

Walking a "Tightrope" was the topic this week. But my guy ended up looking more like he's waiting for some clown on a trapeze to take him out. See it on my showdown page (QT 95K Sorenson3) My "plan" was to break up the walking action with these "unbalanced" poses, but I never got them to work together and in hindsight, that was too much of a "make animation" solution and not enough of a "character animation" solution.

I'm quickly putting together a promotional brochure for our project to show a producer on Friday. I know it's a long shot but the last time I saw this guy was 16 years ago and he remembered me and the stuff I showed him then! I'm hoping a few of the other animators will come with me for support. Will let you know how it goes - good or bad

I am working on a possible mini movie contest entry. The action takes place in a baseball game. I am attaching a short clip showing a possible opening shot where the camera flies in to center on the pitcher. I am also attaching a larger still that shows the lighting in better resolution. I am looking for comments and critiques on the set and the lighting. The characters are not posed in anyway other than a pose that is not the standard T pose. When the camera zooms in the pitcher is very likely to be in a different pose and there will be more players on the field. Also, there be a little more detail on the field such as foul lines and markings on the outfield w…

(couldn't think of a good 3 or 4 word description.) I've got an animation three seconds long. The turret from one of the armored cars bounces and rattles down the tunnel and comes to a stop at the three second mark. [make a keyframe] Then it sits there for five more seconds. [make a keyframe at 8 sec.] But when I render it out, it takes the three sec. segment and stretches it to the full eight. What's going wrong?

Also I have asked this to Hash on the use, using the models on the cd, I have yet to find any of the females that are expression ready. Am I looking in the wrong area?

I'm still working on my Camilla model, the modelling is all but done. Except the teeth, I've started adding constraints and smartskinning for the female character. But on the start-up of the program, some of the joints are not in the start-up pose. I can tweak them back to Zero, and then save it. But on restarting the program, they are back to their incorrect positions. This doesn't happen on all the joints, just some of them. Anybody got any ideas, why the start position isn't saving with the project... Nasty looking ankle... on every start-up... Tweaked back to correct position, setting the rotation of the ankle back to zero... I'm buildin…

I'm working on a QT virtual river tour that will be part of a world wide river resource website. The idea is to document your river any way you like, using QTVR. I chose the Capilano River in North Vancouver, Canada. I'm posting this here, for crits, because I have'nt yet found a good place to get crits from the VR folks. It may be inapropriate to post this here, but you people are so good about giving crits, I thought I'd give it a try. I want this to look pollished and proffesional. I would appreciate any comments you might have. Here is the link. to the tour. I did use A:M for making the map. I modelled over a DEM and added texture. If you are curious …

Hello - just finished up a 12 1/2 minutes long Crown Moulding installation video. It came out pretty good - it was pretty technical because I had to create a tape measure with accurate measurement througout the room, drill screws in, cut the moulding on a saw, apply spacking and sand it off. It was fun, but seemed to go on forever. ;-) Anyway, it's on my site if anyone wants to take a look at it - www.flashanimationwebsitedesign.com - on the lower middle section - "2D and 3D Flash Demonstrations. It's button "06" - 6th sample on the row. - Eric

OK. Givin' up on the cape for now. It's just NOT in the cards for a long haired character...not in motion anyway. My cape had 3 layers of dynamic chains, and looked a LOT more active in the app than it does after render, what happens to all that cool secondary motion? I'll post my test in the WIP forum because this one will not allow attachments. Basicly, I rendered it 2 ways: WITH collision detection and WITHOUT. With CD the cape bounced off the hair repeatedly and sprang and recoiled furiosly out of control. Without CD, as in this test post, the hair simply passes thru the cape. An interesting side note: I saw 'THE INCREDIBLES' last night. They sort of co…

If anyone out there who is a rigging guru wants to give me some pointers on what I have done wrong with this guy, I am ready to hear some suggestions. I used to 2001 skeleton included on the CD and rigged him according to the instructions. The trouble is he is acting peculiar when I apply some of the actions on the CD to test the rig. Is that the actions or my rigging work? His knees act very funny. I also think my hand rig is screwed up. The thumb doesn't curl. Anyone who wants to look at Gnosh can feel free.
