No one has commented on his genetalia? what do you think, should I keep it (or rather should he) or not?
Perhaps your more feet people!?

like the animation, it has a real smooth yet snappy feel to it! when he gets up theres a bit that looked just ever so slightly not as great as the rest! just a split seconds worth
Kind regards - Nixie

you people, always wanting more! ok heres a wire:

ok ok, this wasnt part of the tweaking but iv given him a way to pee! please give your oppinions on this addition - Im not yet sure if hel wear anything in the short film im planning, but his groin looked emty without it!

Mr J, His armpit or his back muscle? Il have a look at that for you! Here is the almost finished Gobelah, heavily lit up. Still to do - Tweaking (will take forever) colour, bump, specular, displacement, transparency maps and a little bit of hair!
Then with the rigging...
Regards - Nixie

what i'd do is a combination of bump maps for raised dirt and dents/scratches. A specular map so that the clean bits are shiny and dirty bits dull. a colour map that has the colour of dirt and metal etc. Importantly - make sure everything matches and it should be good. probably sounds easier than it is! Im gonna have a play with the UV editor very soon!

Nice, I like the helmet, could do with a few batle scars though me thinks! Keep working on this i want to see it finished

Its all modelled at the moment, its just 3 double-hook-ended slines, They shold help te armpit crease hopefully, that and help make his skin look strethed when he lifts his arms. More to come

its an idea, might be a ood time saver if it works, I personally dont have any cmpositing software as of yet, nor v12! I need to save those pennies!

little progress here, spent some time making the hand and rest of the body. Bought the setup machine 2 and weight mover also today so when this is finshed i can play!
Thanks for looking, comments welcomed as usual!

Whoa! didnt realise it contained all of your training material. For now I just got TSM2 weight mover and the new Cd; Cheers for your time

is it 'New release bundle' http://www.rafhashvideotapes.com/rafhashvi...pes/facbun.html
If so, I cant see it mentioned. Just thought id see if I could get anything else with rafs new cd since im buying it anyway.
Cheers Steve

where is that on your site though? I justcouldnt find it is all!
-
Sorry, just one more - which is the training cd bundle that includes Rafs animating with the setup machine 2 disc?
thanks
-
Ok, I dont mind too much about having both versions, I just thought Id ask to see; I think il buy the PC version as its been here longer, I was hoping to use the mac (powerbook) just for Animating anyway so thats no bother - im modeling on my PC mostly. Thankyou, I think Il go buy them now, possibly along with weightmover and the new raf animating with tsm2 CD.
Tar! Regards - Nixie

OOh, and does it support motion capture BVH files? I seem to remember the am rig did when i played a while ago but i forget how he system works for the most part,
Thanks

Hello, Iv played with the animation guy rigged with tsm2 and have decided that it is a definate must buy for me. But Just before, I'd like to know a few things. I use AM on a pc and a mac because its a dual operating system piece of software, Do I get access to both versions of TSM? Does it come with instructions as to how it is used?
Thanks in advance

finally 256 pass: good ob this was just shaded mode, final would have taken ages!
but see how smooth it is in comparison.
Sorry dude for hijacking your thread but DOF is so simple yet hard to get started with that I thought it might help a few! Nice job on the balls too!
-
36 pass: smother, fine for animation but as a still its not perfect.
-
Glad it helped! If I ever get a website il make a illustrated tutorial! but can you see how multipass works in this instance? you can make out (because it's at a high resolution) all the passes you used to produce it, Thats why if you wanted to produce a really smooth DOF at a high resolution youd need alot of passes!
here the same finger rendered in shaded mode only (im not crazy after all) Iv focused very tightly on just the tip of the finger - much like a camera 'Macro lens' would.
9 pass, 36 pass and 256 pass respectively: 9 pass (see banding)
-
Its simple! In the CHO click on the camera (either the camera itself or the link in the PWS) Now go trough the property settings to render settings - look for DOF turn it on and you can now change depth of field. It consists of three numbers in the properties box and is displayed on the camera framing lines. To change it just cycle up or down the focus distance amount to move the main focus. Now change the far focus and near focus amounts to how you want them. anything within the three squares now part of the camera will be in focus (more or less) anything outside of them will be blurred. The further away from these three boxes an object is, the more blurred it will be. The more blurred an object is, the more passes you will need to use to get a nice smooth image. make sure MULTIPASS is ON and what iv been doing is write these settings down before final render; for some reason I cant get the render to automaticaly pick up the camera settings so I manually input the same focal distances into the advanced render settings. again - Make sure DOF is set to on and the right amounts.
There, that should cover it more or less! so hurry, I need a new wallpaper!

also make sure the settings for DOF are in the render settings, I used to input it in the render settings manually

Haha, I can see it now, Vern as the front man, Daniel on an organ; a coming together of ex - mennonites and Christians, What sweet music such a band would create...

That would look great with depth of field set up with a high multipass (have to be very high at that resolution!) maybe some colour too but not alot

hmm, then i think il leave him with for now, then either cover it or remove it later!
