Thanks! Yeah more artistically satisfying to make your own textures, using your own photos or painting them. Your project ends up being more unique in the end.

Thanks Serg!

Hi Michael, for the materials I went to the source and took pictures of Plasticine I flattened out onto some foam core board. Then used the texture for bumps and displacement maps, also using Ambiance Occlusion helped give some nice shading and soft shadows.

Attached is my Batman scene file with decals, easier then looking through any DVDs Batman.zip

Hi Robert, Just looked at the date my original model was created and says October 12th 1999. Don't recall who at Hash I was in communications with (might of been Steve Sappington) they probably wanted to render an image for shows and stuff.

My fav view of him so far.

Darker coloured suit and some colour corrections in PS.

A rendering of Bats, finally arms down.

Thanks Robert! He has a basic rig for posing, If I ever do anything more with him he would need some major smart skinning

Digging through my HD again looking for some old projects. I was commissioned at one point by Hash to model Batman, such a fun project, thought now days I would probably model him with half as many patches, always less is more.. especially with splines.

Hi Pete, Hope you are able to get the latest version of A:M running! sounds like an impressive PC and always nice to see old/new users using A:M and posting their cool artwork on here!

Thanks!

My job is done here! 😄

Thanks Roger

Some tasty donuts for ya, My inspiration for the animation came after going through the Blender donut tutorials. Blender is a great app, but I always have the most fun making stuff in A:M. Also, I have a friend who does a spot on Homer impersonation, so I wanted to use his skills.

Thanks Robert!

Thank you Rodney!

Thanks David!

Hi Roger, Spent about 2 weeks modeling Homer, just used the 2001 rig when it came to animation Will post my time-lapse of him here when it's together.

Thanks Fuchur, Many donuts were consumed in the making.. I needed reference for textures and then didn't want them to go to waste.

Thanks for all the comments guys, yeahh I like the topic of food and drink for an image contest great subject for still life. Finally uploaded my short to YouTube, after many months of hard work, I give you a whopping 1:4 minutes of distraction.

Hi Guys, About 4 months ago I started working on a short animation (keeping up with the Mid Term Goals in my profile 😄 ) I'm getting close to posting the final video, so I might as well get the ball rolling. Will be posting some Time-Lapse videos here in the comings weeks as well. Cheers.

Congrats Everyone!!! Thanks again Robert for putting this together and for the added scratch tickets prizes. You totally went above and beyond what anyone would expect for an image contest.

Great stuff Aldrich, So entertaining and now I'm craving Doritos, thanks! :P

Oh also how appropriate to post this today, Happy "World UFO Day"
