pengwin

Not had a lot of time to work on this guy, but here's the latest render anyway. Still have the hands and feet to do before I go through the model tweeking everything.

It's been a looong time since I created anything remotely good in AM, even longer since I posted anything. So I decided to get back into it and create a new character. I've never been good at creating realistic people, so I am creating a cartoony style wizard. Here's the first WIP shot of the head:

Thanks for that, I have just shaved 0.6 seconds from the beginning and it looks a lot better now. The pills don't do anything really, I was looking for a name for a new business venture and I spotted my medication and thought it would be cool. Plus this is the first animation I have in in ages, so I wanted something that would be simple, yet effective. There are sound effects, can no body else hear them?

Hi all, I am in the process of starting a new project, which will involve some rebranding. I was just after your opinion of the new animated logo: Triple Pill Interactive

I love this model. I've just started work on a version based on the original Constitution Class Enterprise, but, unfortunately, my time is limited, so it may be a while before I get enough done for posting WIP images.

Nice work, I like it.

Excellent stuff Stian

A quick screen shot of the game in development.

Final post in this thread for the day. Just a quick animation to show the Pengwin Flyer coming in to land. Nothing fancy. landing.mp4

Ah right, I see now. I've not used AO yet, but as I am also using 13t, maybe I should wait till I also upgrade.

In the game, the missiles won't really be used, they're just for show. But I will probably use them in the comic strips. Oh, and they're used to kill aliens...what else?

Those new maps certainly did the trick. Just one thing... have you applied displacement maps to the windows on the right of the picture? They seem to look a little flat.

Started adding materials now. I've uploaded two images, because as I said before, I also plan to make an accompanying comic strip. C&C more than welcome.

Starting to add textures to the plane now, and I still need to add the main guns. The skis fold up under the body when the plane is in flight.

Thanks Spleen. I have a day to myself today, so I have Lizzy Borden blasting from iTunes, coffee on the plate and AM in front of me ALL day.... mmm... heaven. I'll post a few pics today, as I make progress.

Working on the penguins plane now, here's the start: flyer.mov

Not a reply to your question, but just wanted to say what an awesome model you have there.

Love the model Robert. The ankylosaurus was my favourite dino when I was a kid.

Just a quick update. As I said before, the game is to be a defender style game, and this is the main hero of the game. He will be visible flying the 'pengwin flyer' with which you try to rescue your comrades. I've gone back and re-rigged him as I also plan to use the penguin for a series of cartoons to accompany the game.

I'm working on a bunch of retro style games at the moment. This character is for a Defender type game. Although I may also use the penguin for future games as well.

It's been a while since I posted anything in these forums, but I thought I would show you all the model I've been working on over the last few hours for a game I plan to write. This isn't rigged brilliantly, but I don't need a lot of animation as I am writing a 2D game with pre-rendered graphics. The final result will be a much smaller penguin, but I made it larger than need be so I can shrink it later in the development process.

I'm a little late to this thread...all I can say is WOW!! That's amazing work! I remember those characters from a couple of years ago. Then, I thought WOW!...now it's WOW!!!!!!! erm...what else can I say...except WOW!!! (running off to find another hobby )

I must admit, I enjoyed the movie, but I think it would have been better to try to stand on it's own without the dredd licence. They made too many changes (IMHO) that seemed to upset some hardcore fans. But then if they hadn't tied it into the licence, then people would have complained that they had copied Dredd. I guess they couldn't really win

The easiest way I know to make the front of the house you have shown in your pic would be to create a mesh as in the attached picture and then extrude it. You need to be aware though, that to create a hole, you need more than 4 control points around it

I think every adjective has been used so far, so forgive me for repeating...lovely guitar
