Bird?!? This is supposed to be a squirel!!!
Dag nabbit, I suck at this!!!
-
Here's my first attempt at a charcter for a project that I have had rolling around in my brain for some time.
This is just a beginning but I think I like the direction this is headed (no pun intended).
-
Hey it's chicken lady from Kids in the Hall.
-
I liked it. I'm curious how you modeled the track.
Also, maybe you could say that he's landing in a big pool of blueberry Jello Then it would look perfect.
-
I would go with #1. On the other two it's kinda hard to make out exactly what it is.
-
Looks great so far. The only thing that I would say is that I believe the treds are supposed to slant out at an angle (maybe to help stability) and your are pretty vertical.
Aside from that it looks really good.

Ok this is more snailish...
Check it out... I can hear the ocean.
-
I know that this is a new CD but are there any discounts available if you already own the facial rigging & animation CDs?
-
Like.......this?
Now it's too much. Go back to the felt I guess.

Some people prefer to do their smoke in post via a program like photoshop.
Jim Talbot seems to have mastered wispy smoke. Yup Yup!
There is a good pic or two on his *recently updated* site. See it at: http://home.comcast.net/~jtalbotski/
Now, that's what I'm talking about.

The bass pedal...its hard to believe that it took all day. And the sad thing is that it may never be seen. Some parts will be reused for the Hi-hat.
Very nice.
You may want to consider using a hard plastic beater to get a little more attack off the kick drum.
-
Yeah, but it's still more puffy than wispy.
-
The Screen Savers did a piece on building a $500 gaming computer that kicked a few months ago. I suggest looking at the article and building somethign based on that.
-
OK, here's a challenge to see if anyone has an idea of how to do this:
Wisps of smoke as from a cigarette sitting in an ashtray.
-
Well, unless we take Gareth's suggestion, I guess Mac users can't participate, or more importantly, vote, huh?
Good point... boooo!
-
And the drums so far...need to add alot.
Vern, theres also a control that hinges the jaw forward and back.
I haven't checked, but at thier extremes they're probably not even touching.
Gotta love the ol' sparkle kit.
Who did you get the texture for that? Would you mind sharing?
-
Thank you for the warning (seriously), Steve S. I downloaded it, but I wish I hadn't.
Ditto.
-
That's neat.
We actually have the worlds only full scale reproduction of the Parthenon here in Nashville and I always wondered who all those dudes on the top of the building were
Thanx for the enlightenment.
-
I agree that the smoke & fire looks really good.
I think I get the "joke" I just don't see the humor in it. Good political satire usually has an element of truth in it to make it work but I don't see that here. It just seemes like it's being crude for the sake of beign crude and not really making a statement.
-
Nice effects for a good cause. Honestly, it's a really bad song but you guys did a good job with your part.
-
PT can be a little intimidating at first but once you get it, you get it.
Here are some links that can help you get started if you're interested.Links
-
Go to Digidesign and get the free version of ProTools they have (unless you're running XP - it won't run on that).
I forget if it's limited to 8 or 16 tracks but it should suit your needs though I'm not sure if it comes with plugins or not so EQing a track may be difficult.
Another alternative that I love is a program called Goldwave. It's a shareware program that that I believe you can record with but it also does effects and can export as MP3s which PT cannot without an additional $20 plugin. Personally, I use Goldwave when I do mastering on CDs and I love it.
Between these two you should be covered.

hey Ken. It's done that way so that the pupils can easily follow the surface shape of the eye.
not sure who implemented that, I think maybe Raf?
But it's a great wayt o make cartoon shaped eyeballs that have pupil geometry that follow the surface of any deformed eye.
The only draw back is that they are circular and in the back of the head untilt he constraints are activated.
Is there some place to learn more about this because I have seen it done on a couple of charcters?

This looks great and good idea using the generic name. Don't want to get into any licensing trouble.

HAHAHAHAH
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.
I'll post another pic in a bit that will hold another clue.
