Puh, Finally I managed to get a vespa with rolling wheels following a path. I had much trouble with this, that I canot really explain to myself. I guess I did many things wrong( for instance to going to the start of the animation first ), often when I fiddeled around ,I ended up with the vespa creeping really slow along the path or the wheels not moving at all, then when I deleted all actions to replace them, the path strangly jumped away and I frustradetly started all over with a new chor, often the playhandle didnt work and I had to restart the chor. But finally I got this. Now I have to go on to animating in the chor, next I have to find out how to set k…

Here is my victorian house. I never would have started this if I knew how much work all the little peices of trim would be. It is still very much a WIP, but of course C&C would be great. The bottom floor is mostly done, but the upper floor and tower are barely begun. I am using a tune render beacuse it shows more of the detail before I texture and color. oh and the colors are just placeholders

I've been trying to combine a 3d model with some video footage. I was following the tutorial below, but think that it (tutorial) or I are missing some details. My latest test is attached. I was having a heck of a time getting just: 1. flying saucer 2. Shadow of saucer on the ground 3. everything else transparent What I got: 1. Render of the saucer only in PNG w/ transparency 2. Render the shadow only in PNG w/ transparency 3. Combined in vegas pro w/ the vide footage and explorted to mp4. I need to go back through my experiments and produce a matrix of settings so that I can produce model and shadow separately. Seems like I should be able…

Introduction: I’m remaking an old Christmas video called “Twas the Night Before Christmas” that I did three years ago. As I completed scenes, I thought I would blog them here for general discussion of animated short making and have everyone critique what I am doing. I originally did this piece as a video Christmas card however in my ignorance of delivering video, most of the people I sent it to didn’t have the bandwidth or a powerful enough computer to view it. This year I will make it into a DVD and hope for a wider audience. I started about the first of July and am shooting for completion by December 19th. While I would love a lot more time, I am going to mak…

Hey Gang, I had posted under the game developer's forum that we had finished production on our first videogame (Mac and Win), and began shipping earlier this week. Anyway, some people had asked to see some screen shots of the game, so without furhter adeu... Btw, modeling and animation was done by some of the coolest people here in the community.

I haven't been splining for a while so last night I decided to get some practice in. My motherboard on my modelling PC went south but I was able to salvage my model files by slaving the harddrive to my internet PC. I have been wanting to make a virtual reef aquarium. I made this lionfish in a few hour's but still have some tweaking to do as well as decaling. I thought it looked pretty good so far so I decided to start this thread and get some feedback. The color pics are mostly for reference and are what I could find on the web. And an anemone using an image file with hair. Can't seem to figure out how to get the tentacles (hair) to taper towards the tip like they sh…

I started a new project of modeling my favorite bicycle. I could not stop, and I am half way there. I just wanted a basic bike for myself, and then make a Black Op version of my recumbent bike for the zombie /end of the world survival road warrior bike. I manage to get the basic bike patch count to 12,000 and I try to not get too detailed on it. I have not rig it yet! Took me a day and a half to get this far. One of the thing I learn from this is to model the pieces in a separate model window, and then once you got it, copy and paste to the main model window. I test the bike with another character and it fits really well with real world scale character. She is 5'1" fee…

I've noticed that when two volumetric klieg cones overlap, it produces a harsh dark gray field. Is there any way to overcome this? I was looking for something that would turn off the additive property, but there isn't one for volumetrics.

I've always been intrigued by the utility vehicles to which the railroad companies attach retractable flanged wheels to allow them to ride the rails. So when I saw the image shown in the upper left of an actual VW bus version, I knew I had to modify my own microbus model. And inspired by the image of a prototype pickup bus shown in the upper right, I decided to go off the deep end and design a stake truck version. Before I started texturing the finished model I decided it was best to add bones, constraints and finish the movement of the wheels. Considering the time I spent tweaking it, especially the hydraulic hoses, the action is remarkably boring. I suppose in som…

Hi everybody, My first bigger 3-D Animation job is online now and I am eager to hear your opinions. Its the middle-toonpart of a flash-animation. To view it go to: http://www.vw-polo.de then wait until the "real"-animation of the car has ended. Then you can choose > Helden (heroes ) > Gewinner (winner) > Abenteurer ( adventurer) now you get my toonrenndered animations ... at the end with "nochmal spielen" you can play it again. Great thanks to everybody, who helped me on finishing this job. I learned a lot ;>) Jake

My tall character walks fine when I slide the scrubber back and forth, but when I render [shaded] he simply slides along in the starting position. The little guy is fine. I have noticed that when I drop an Action on the tall guy and want, say, six cycles, they don't show as individual blocks in the PWS as do the cycles for the short guy. Is this pointing to the problem? MOTERCYCLE_TEST.zip

I made this a couple of days ago just to try out pose-to-pose animation for the first time. It was a kinda messy attempt, but I learned some from it and hope to use the experience in my next attempts. I'm mainly looking for suggestions/critiques but comments are always nice too. Oh, and its rather rough too... I was just trying to catch the broad motions. Thanks!, --Ross wtw3.mov
