fallingstar.mov fallingstars.zip fallingstars.mov different flare

Nice stuff Matt

another material doodle ballt.mov ball_lght.zip

Rodney this happen once before on the rough trial somethings did not get saved and I embed before saving Version 16 32bit Robert I animated the material by changing the ambient color level overtime and it still shows it set just does not happen I also changed the y and z direction of the material and the amount of displacement over time and had the transparency and light brightness ( added light inside model ) vary randomly and it appears the transparency changes at least did not save either here is the project file dustball1.zip

Playing with dust ball got this saved then rendered dustballrev.mov Then reloaded later to tweak but settings done in chor for color and transparency not working quick smaller render of what happen dust.mov

dustball.mov then with some streaks and color change dustball_.mov project file less rotoscope on camera dustball.zip

Happy Happy Day Day Matt John Bigfoote

10 hour work days killing brain cells but rough trial of idea dust_chamber.mov

Used this feature awhile back when I would want change size of the example I wanted to post convert.mov convert.wmv

Thanks I am using the same action on all three characters since they have the same bone setup so it might have to do with scale or length of path/stridelength

tried another tweak walktrial1d.mov

did a quick doodle in photoshop then created work path and exported as illustrated file imported into AM set up simple action and rendered simpleface.mov simpleface.zip just another tinkering

another trial just adjusting stride length walktrial1b.mov

Mean ...when ...I posted it to get some ideas for tweaking ..thanks for looking

Its a bit too fast but the actual cartoon with them shows them bouncing

walktrial1.mov First attempt with just 1 tool here are 3 tools that are similar so can use the same action walktrial1a.mov

Each post gets better great modeling

Great characters and style

saw an image which led to this but with material animated tube.mov material added for color only tubed.mov same material added as displacement as well as color tubed_idea.zip project file

As I stated above "Thanks I cannot take credit for characters they are "my" rough versions of the Handy Manny tools" missing a few Dusty the saw and Flicker the flashlight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handy_Manny

6tool.mov basic cast of characters now the construction project ....

I know how you feel right now working 50 hours weeks solving other peoples problems leaves little time for anything I want to do
