As I said before, I couldn't do and can't do lip sync with my teeth, but I can make some simple noises with them..here's a clip of them yawning...

CSS Hunley

Hello All, A few years back I modeled the confederate submarine the CSS Hunley (C.L. Hunley) for a Hash image contest, I think it was my first model as well....sense that time the Hunley has been raised from the depths and its actual configurations are known, so I have started a new more acurate model of the Hunley...I also plan on detailing the inside at some point. I've attached a couple images of this WIP below.....far from finished inside or out. Mike Cossey

This isn't complete (the animation is still fairly rough) but I've had to put it down due to other animation commitments. I thought, rather than having it sit on my computer at home people could have a look. When I get a chance I'll get back to it, but in the meantime I'd be interested in peoples thoughts. http://www.shaunfreeman.com/samples/night_...ld_mountain.mov Its about 9.6 Mb Many thanks for William Suttons generosity in letting me use his model!

Ok..this is getting really frusturating. I'm creating a set of teeth following the tuturial of "baby face", by Colin Freeman (see link below) I'm at the part when I delete half of the gums and all of this weird spline "web" shows up. (screenshot below). Link: http://www.colins-loft.net/CoopMouth.html (scroll down to the teeth part) I'm thinking it's when I create the gum...the tuturial says "Make sure you draw this at the height of the gum not the low point." I don't know what that means so I just tried to copy the pic...also, I can't tell if I'm supposed to connect that gum to the the tooth, or what! Help me please. Thanks in advance

Well, its that time of year again so i thaught i would make a pumpkin, i think it turned out well. And i learnt a bit about using booleans. Im hoping to add some mist on the floor for that extra creepy look, when i find out how. If anyone has any advise about making the mist it would be appretiated. Any suggestions/comments welcome By the way, if anyone is interested, it was made using this tutorial.

Here is a short clip of Bender from Futurama saying his trademark phrase - there is one potentially objectional word, so be warned. Bender Speaks! My first version of Bender used a decal for the teeth, but I wanted to do lipsynch. I thought of just using spline rings set to "Render as lines," then I decided to use mesh in case I want to do non-toon rendered clips as well (I do). Enjoy, and critiques are welcome!

Here's a WIP I have of an Industrial Fork Lift. The steering wheel turns the rear wheels, the mast tilts and the forks go up & down. I've got a LOT of work to do massaging the body to get the realism where I'd like it to be. Decaling would help a ton here as well. Technically the mast is telescoping (second and 3rd sections that extend as the forks move beyond the vertical limit of the lower mast section.... whew), but I haven't added those portions yet. I would also like to make the forks spread apart and come together (Real fork lifts have a shift function, to move the forks in tandem, left or right). If anyone is interested I can post the mod…

I'm not sure if this is just something I'm doing wrong, so I thought I'd ask before I submitted it to Hash. I posted it here so that I could attach the sample project. I have been getting some errors when making a key frame when there's a bone that rotates on the "Z" axis. I put together a project file here that illustrates what I'm encountering. In "Action1", rotate the "redhalf" bone (it should be the only one visible) on the "Z" axis (the limits are set where it should only move that way anyway), then set a key. If you are getting what I am, the geometry will move when you set the key and it will move a little more if you hit the button to set the key agai…

QT - Sorenson3 - 1.3mb I realised that I'd done some alterations to this piece (under the great advice of Mr J Barrett) and hadn't posted the final version. It's been sitting on my hard drive, neglected and alone for a month or two, and seeing as it's a finished piece, I thought that I'd post it in here. (The version posted on this forum and elsewhere is different to this one). The alterations are fairly minor, but definately add up to a much stronger little scene. They mainly relate to arcs, and carrying an action through more. I'm a sucker for details. I learnt a heck of alot from this one.

In late-July, I had the honor to speak on presentation design at the Answers in Genesis (AiG) Creation College, which was a conference to train people in creation ministry and to present the Genesis messages like Ken Ham, Carl Kerby, other international speakers from AiG. My talk title was "Making Your Presentations Zing!" I taught graphic design principles, eye candy skills, dos and don'ts of design, and more as relates to presentations—digital and otherwise—for the look of high class and professionalism. I used Apple Keynote as my presentation software for its advanced multimedia technologies and awesome transitions. The globe and all silver 3D elements were modeled in …

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.

Hi all! Since I suck at modeling.. I figured I'd focus on the animation for a while and try to get good at that. I went back to the 'Door's Stuck' tutorial and played around a little.. this is just the first un-polished pass so there's a lot of anomalies and timing issues.. but it's just a beginning.

Well, some of you may have wondered what the heck happened to my project Clone Commander. I've actually been slowly sworking on it and had the entire opening sequence, but I realized that if it took me that long to do that with the time I was putting into it, it would take quite awhile. So, I might make it into more of a series. I need suggestions. Series or film? Film would give me more room to work in, and series would probably let people see my work more often. I await your comments!

I modeled these potion bottles and wanted a place to display them. So I modeled the table. However the bottles were lonely, so I modeled the vase and lamp to keep them company. Any suggestions (and I know there are going to be many) please post them. The Red, Green, and Orange bottles are pretty much textured. But I am wanting a more clear-colored-glass effect for the purple and blue bottles. I've tried messing with the settings and the best I've been able to come up with is what is in the pic. However I'm still a newbie, so I'm sure there's a way to do it. Thanks

Hi All, I tried the technique to build a tree as used by Brian Taylor who is working on Rustboy (www.rustboy.com). I think the results were quite good and this is a much faster technique when compared to using hair (or at leas that is my experience). Here is a quick summary of what I did. 1. Create a patch and past a Cookie Cut decal of leaves. 2. Animate the patch (by tweaking splines and cp's) to give a wrustling movement to the leaves. 3. Render as a QT with an alpha channel (do not use any compression for the QT, just use Animation). 4. Make a model of a tree trunk 5. Make a patch and add a decal of the animated QT as a Cookie Cutter. 6. …
