Worked on his feet some more... lots of 5 point and 3 point patches
also using a porcelain material on the white material to soften things up.

A bit of remodeling to the the hands...

Thanks Guys!
Same here Robert, Snoopy was always the coolest
-
After reading the latest Martin's Minutes about "Charlie Brown Books" I remembered that I modeled a
Snoopy vs Red Baron a few years back using Lightwave and was curious to try the Lightwave importer with A:M.
After re examining the model I decided to model him from scratch in A:M.
I just get a kick out of the elegance of spline patches vs subdivision modeling
it seems like you can say more with less.Here is some progress of the model so far...
still working on the hands and feet and will be modeling a scarf next.

On one of the commentary tracks the difference between Sylvester's and Daffy Duck's voice is brought up.
It is not that "Daffy" is Mel Blanc's "Sylvester" voice sped up, although that much is true.
The real difference, according to Mel Blanc, is that Sylvester is Gentile and Daffy is Jewish. In Mel Blanc's mind, Daffy was a Jewish comedian, a vaudevillian.
When learning about layout I remember my teachers saying to be cautious about how background objects lineup with characters heads,
here it looks like the animators lined up Daffy intentionally under that tree... it adds to the humour. -
I remember back in the day Hash inc. sold t-shirts.
Any chance they would ever again?I used to have the H*A*S*H beige one and one that said.
"say no to polygons". that was always a good conversation starter
when out in public.

Looks Great!, I like all the texture details
like cracks in the pavement and stains coming from the windows. -

I had done animations a very long time ago for the Unreal engine. I used 3ds Max at the time and there was a plug-in to do just that. Not sure if you can import direct x files into the Unreal engine or not but you can look into Garagegames Torque engine. It is a little dated but last I checked it accepted direct x files.
The Unreal engine isn't all that tough to work in but I found it unstable. Way back I used to make 3d models of my map bases in a poly modeler preferably one that supported quads, exported an obj file and used that geometry to subtract my map from the world.
I believe the licensing for Unreal is pretty high if you plan on making a retail game.
Thanks Ken,
Not familiar with the Torque engine, I'll check it out!... it is an extra step importing from A:M to Unreal since it uses FBX.
Sounds like Epic Games is trying to make it easier for developers and artists.
They are making it royalty free until you make your first million. -

Hi Guys,
Recently upgraded to A:M v19 from V13 so was excited to try out some of the new features.
(well... features I didn't have access to till now)Some SSS and Radiosity applied to an old model.

I find the Unreal Engine pretty hard to understand, but I have used Unity3d in the past for a couple of projects. Not really for rendering but for smaller 3d game projects and Mixed Reality Tests.
Best regards
*Fuchur*It is an unusual program... I've been finding the interface takes some getting used to.
So many programs to play with so little time. :D
Thanks for making the exporters and tutorials available Fuchur!
-
Thanks Robert,
I'll give Fuchur's exporter a try.
and look forward to seeing what you learn with C++
looks like game engines are the future for animation production. -
I'm sure everyone has seen the latest Unreal Engine demo?.. looks super impressive!
Has anyone been able to export A:M animations to engines like this for rendering? -

Hi Guys,
I'm happy to share an animation I've been working on the past few months, I'll try to make a long story short...
Since all this Covid 19 stuff things have been different, previously most of my spare time was spent working on fine art projects
a lot of work I did preparing for art shows was put on hold and like many people it's been a stressful time.
I guess psychologically the best way I've been able to deal with it has been to tap into my silly side and rekindle
some of the things that inspired me in my younger years.
Using Animation Master was one of those things, it was the first app that got me seriously into 3D and actually
helped land me my first job out of college.
I made a friend on this forum over 20 years ago (Bud) Mike Lium, we eventually lost touch and reconnected on Facebook
even though I wasn't using A:M much or posted 3d stuff he was always a friend... always encouraged me and my art.
These past couple months while working on this animation I couldn't wait to surprise him with it.
Sadly I didn't finish it in time, and found out he passed away a few weeks ago.
So I dedicate this to Bud.
Mike
