Shameless self promotion:

 

Ken, if you were to split that chor into two halves an 25 seconds, that would leave a perfect place to insert "Bubblng Goo" if and when it were to be used.

 

Thanks.

 

Great animation, by the way.

The voice in my head says: "Gotta go to the studio and get some work done." I mumble back to the void: "Just 5 more minutes, 5 more minutes." And now the Sun has gone down and my slowly spreading posterior has yet to leave my chair that lives in front of the computer. I am, however, happy with the results of the days playing. Now I get to go spend my Friday evening in the studio.

Thank you Jason for the eye model, and thank you David for the video tutorial that Jason used to make it.

Had a chance to play this morning. This guy is Knuckles McGurke. the premise of the project is Knuckles on a webcam showing pictures of his new girlfriend to his old girlfriend. Still a lotta tweakin to do, but Im happy with the way he's coming along.

[Dawn at the Rocks]

You've really fine tuned that shot, Josh. All of your work is impressive.

Thanks Again, Al

It does look nice! I might be interested in one of those, Mr. Plucker, where would I find one?

[Hot Off The Presses!]

Thanks Everybody! It was a fun project.!

So..... Gene says to me.......I wanna do an up-tempo, peppy, funny, video about the Plagues of Egypt.

 

I gave him the song he wanted, so he's giving me the honor of making this post.

 

Here's what we came up with.

 

I'm proud to announce the latest release from Spleengene Animations: (Our 5th Collaboration.)

 

Then Came The Plagues

 

Enjoy!

LOL I don't remember who said it first, but: "You ain't seen nuthin, yet!"

Up to now, I've pretty much been posting only still images, but this IS an animation forum after all.

 

So I'm starting a project. I've created my first character, I have the head complete, although there's gonna be a lot of tweaking yet to refine the head further. The body should be easier, hopefully.

 

Here's the sketch I used for rotoscopes and a turnaround of the head so far.

Happy 29th, Holmes!

 

Ah...Er.....aaa......does your nose look a little bit longer?

[Art Nouveau Imagery]

LOL, Thanks guys.

 

Yeah, David, I was after a "suggested" face, and judging by your reply, I got what I was after.

 

I'll play with more refinements over the next while, and spruce it up some.

Something That's the Same but Different:

[dragon spikes]

I opened the EXR image in A:M. My computer tried to open it with an expired demo version of Photoshop that I downloaded some time back. I have Corel but it doesn't recognize the file extension. (Stupid me, what is the EXR format, anyway?)

 

Did you create the original image in Photoshop?

 

Thanks, Rob

[dragon spikes]

I agree with Steve392, that is way more than semi-successful. Rob, you know I've been working on getting a handle decal and bump maps. Could you possibly post the greyscale image that used for that displacement map? I don't wanna steal it, just wanna study it.

[Trying to get one project finished]

I thought that was just because he's an alien. Nice creature, well done.

[new landscape]

Mark,

I'm trying to model a cascade Pine Bonsai tree for a project I'm working on, and I remembered you masterful job you did on this landscape. When I first saw this image, my first thought was that the trees were from a photo.

I used the treez plugin for the regular trees and modeled the pines

I'd like to learn from your modeling expertise. You have such a good eye for the graceful, natural curves of the branches.

 

How did you handle the needles on the pine tree that's on the left side of this image?

[My WIP Mascot entry at the time my computer crashed]

That is so excellent!

[Can't See The Forest For The Treez]

Holmes, in section 4 of your wonderful tutorial, there is a bone that you rotate. Is this a bone that you created in the model in bones mode or is it the model bone that has been heretofor hidden?

[Can't See The Forest For The Treez]

Thank you , Nancy. Got it working.

 

Thank you , Holmes, for that great tutorial.

 

Is there a way to get the dialog menu to pop up? I'm not sure that it is necessary, but it would be interesting to see what it contains.

[Jason Hampton Video Tutorial Links]

I went to the link using FF. Got the Kristin tutes. Used the password. Thank you Jason

[Scarecrow of Oz]

Applause, Applause, nicely done! very Good Stuff!

[Can't See The Forest For The Treez]

I'm starting to learn the Treez plugin to make my bonsai tree for my vase. I downloaded the Treez plugin into the hxt folder in my AM folder. How do I install it into AM?

[To Bump or not To Bump]

Thanks for bringing that up, Darkwing, I checked and they were ALL reversed. I flipped them, but it didn't seem to make any difference in the image. I'm such a newb!
