[Haven't posted in awhile]

Great work! Keep posting your progress, I think we'd all love to see it.

["Daughters" WIP Thread]

Amazing work!

[The Boys are Back in Town]

WOW!Amazing so far! I can't wait to see the finished model. I just started reading the Captain America Reborn series. They are drawing him with a little bigger chest than what you have, but not much bigger. Keep up the great work!

[Fight Testing]

Great work! I can hardly wait to see more!

[Godzilla X King Ghidorah: Vengeance Project]

Awesome models! Can't wait to see the finished battle!!

[a new character]

looks like you are off to a great start, I can't wait to see the finished model!

[the red cat]

I like it - great model, and you have the cat's attitude down packed! Is there going to be a mouse or canary for him to spar wit?

[T rex done!]

Wow! Great work!

[another wip]

Wow, he's looking great! I can't wait to see the fight scene.

[another wip]

Very nice work. Reminds me of "The Crusher" from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons.

[Trying to make a character(or anything)...VERY lost...]

I did the same thing years ago, and everone told me the same thing, go through the tutorials first, they really will help you. and take your time, don't get let yourself get to frustrations edge. I been trying this for years and I see some people work and am just in awe, and don't be afraid to ask specific questions up here.

[TSM2 for A:M now free!]

I´d bite my own ass if i´d rig my next character a week before the plugin is going to be released...

 

Would that be an action or a pose slider?

[Wonder Woman toon render]

Great work! Can't wait to see some action poses.

[rubberguy episode 03]

They just keep getting better!!! Great work! So, will RubberGuy get a sparring partner soon? Maybe how to stop a killer robot?

[rubberguy episode02]

Great work, I hope you keep up the series. Since he is rubber guy, have you thought about having him inflate his muscles by blowing in to his thumb before he strikes the bodybuilder poses?

[Platypus House riverscape]

Very nice, I can't wait to see the platypus that goes with it. Hope you don't mind, but it's now my desktop wallpaper. Something to make my hectic day a little more tranquil.

[rubberguy - training lessons for upcoming superheroes]

Aweseome! I can't wait to see it. Maybe stopping a runaway car, or breaking down a door. I can see some interesting possiblilties for Rubber Guy.

[rubberguy - training lessons for upcoming superheroes]

heheheh - Very nice. You gonna make a series of lessons?

[Brainfart update]

Oh I forgot. The thing under his tie is a speaker grill, so when he talks I should be able to add some force coming out to flap his tie some.

[Brainfart update]

Actually the liquid is a solid cylinder with a cloth top to simulate the sloshing. I couldn't figure out how to use v15 fluids for a still liquid simulation, it kept bubbling over . I did think of using liquid to simulate bubbles, coming up from the bottom of the brainstem. the brainstem will be kind of a prehensile tail used to scratch his "head" or cover his eyes.

I had pictured the same thing and even went with 4 legs to instead of the 6 I had planned initially, just to make him a little more unstable.

 

I'll keep posting updates here. Thanks for all the great ideas and encouragement. I've modeled several characters and havent really thought of anything too fun to do with them until now.

[Brainfart update]

you may have answered this - at my age, I have a lot of brain farts of my own - is your character going to be humorous or menacing?

Definitely humorous. He's kind of a mad scientist that ended up becoming his own project. And working on a limited budget that's what he came up with, but he'll be mail ordering parts for an upgrade.

[Brainfart update]

So here's what I've come up with for my Brainfart character. I'm still rigging him so he'll be moving soon. If anyone has any comments or suggestions I'd love to hear them.

 

Thanks,

 

Andy.

[Brainfart]

yeah I haven't applied a cloth material to the tie so it will change once I do, but I can stretch out some. My friend pointed that out too. I wanted to use the fluid emitter to fill the container but haven't had a chance to play with it

 

Thanks,

[Brainfart]

Thanks, he's meant to be kinda goofy and nerdy. I used a bump map. I used AM Painter and just made squiggles.

[Brainfart]

He just likes to wear a tie. And I thought of connecting him with some sort of cable, but I wanted to leave the spinal column dangling freely, so that from time to time he could use it like a prehensile tail to scratch his head or pound on the glass. Maybe a couple electrodes with different colored wires placed randomly on the brain?
