[Guitar]

Been away from this project for a while. i've been working on a new guitar .

 

[Nidaros Cathedral]

Absolutely Incredible!!!! :D :D

Here it is with hair. I think the movement is a little too exaggerated.

[Guitar]

No. I just didn't render his hair 'cause it would have taken too long .

[Guitar]

Here we go so far .

Thanks for the comments. Here is another pic.

 

 

 

Ok, enough fooling around! I gotta get back to animating.

[Guitar]

Even more updates. Comments?......Anyone?

 

[Guitar]

More improvements. New Shirt. Another AO render .

 

 

[Guitar]

Aha! After even more tweaking I think I finally got what I was looking for . Here they are!

More Tweaking. I fixed the shoulders. This is the first try on the hair dynamics, which aren't lookin' too good .

[Guitar]

I'll try to add dynamics to the hair , but I'll just have to see what happens and mess around with the settings.

 

As for the "weird elbow" , I noticed it too. I'm tweaking the character so the shoulders look more like, well, shoulders.

[Guitar]

I've been adding more details to the character for some time. Here it is so far. Any comment?

 

 

[Guitar]

More guitar playing. He actually moves a little more now.

Here's also some animation practice .

[Guitar]

I made a walk cycle for the guy, just in case . Comments?

[Guitar]

Once again more animation. I started animating the left hand and here's what I got so far .

 

Lefthandstart.mov

[Guitar]

Oh, sorry. it should work now, i think

Will the face be animated decals?

 

No, the face is actually modeled onto the character. I created poses for blinking, raising the eyebrows, and the mouth.

 

 

P.S., does anyone have any suggestions for a name for this guy??

[Guitar]

Excellent.....

Truly inspirational, especially when it comes to A:M animation projects that include sound.

Is there any possibility of sharing this project file with us ?

Even an abbreviated or short one, so we can perhaps learn something from it, as to how it is done ?

There seem to be very few examples in the forum that employ the use of sound (audio).

I know audio can create much larger file sizes but, those of us who like it, have to live with it but, probably will do just that.

Thanks

 

PS: doesn't hurt to ask. Right ?

 

Since you asked, here's the project.

Here is more animating. I fixed the constraint.

 

 

Strum2.mov

[Guitar]

Here is the start of the guitar playing animation. I'm first going to animate the right strumming hand. (Pay no attention to the fact that his left hand is going through the guitar. that was a mess up with the constraint.)

 

 

Strum1.mov

[Guitar]

All of that stuff looks great! The Guitars are awesome, and I might start animating the person to play the guitar! Thanks for the info .

 

He is also rigged. Here is just a rock pose I made fairly quickly. And an AO render.

 

[Guitar]

I've been modeling a guitar over the past few days. And I also made a cartoon character to go with it. Here they are .

 

 

[Puzzle Animation]

Here's a bigger version of it. Sorry the other one was so small.

 

 

Take_Apart.mov

 

 

Putting this as my avatar sounds like a pretty good idea.

[Puzzle Animation]

I created an animation of a Gordian's Knot puzzle being taken apart. I was thinking of putting it on AM Films.
