Nice indeed ... Thanks! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hmmm, you're getting some interesting things here. But I can't help but see a gold fish swimming there. Maybe this could be a gold fish tranpsortation device?

Night Version of the animation test:) http://www.vrcops.com/vids/NightClimbA.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

I thought the night scene was really starting to come into it ... can't wait to see more ... Hmm, well on that note, I think I'll render a night version just for kicks. Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Kuep, definately in agreement! I think if I add anything more to this clip it will have a moment of heavey breath catching beathing before anything else happens, like before sitting up or something. Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey GWells, I did a bit over kill on the night scene. So I decided to bring back the Late afternoon/early evening scene. Let me know if you have any probs with the coffee cup thing if you do it. Coffee is good for you. Makes you strong Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey Jobe, thanks for the reply! Yo bring up a good question. I suppose that he would need another character - to fight and all. Nothing in the works just yet.

Hey Jack! Long time no speak! Thanks for checking it out. I've been kinda surprising myself ever since I started these little "fast" excercises. I think I suffer from getting caught up in over killing my work some times. Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey guys, I spent about 30 minutes this after noon setting this animation up. I know you critique artists will find a zillion things wrong here:) And there are for sure, but over all this was a fun excersize! Animation codec, 3.2mgs... http://www.vrcops.com/vids/ClimbInB.mov Thanks for taking a look! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Pretty cool idea. Simple, yet has some good scope. I see more liquid metal than water drop though. Like the drop that came off of the terminator in terminator 2. Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Damn Server didn't restart!!! Back up now... Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey guys another guick banging animation excercise for myself. This one is a real mess lighting wise. It's really just about learning about the wonderful Chor. action feature. I swear I don't know why I didn't learn about them earlier.... would have made my life a bit easier! Anyhows, the scene for the most part has been deleted and I plan on redoing everything.... So, about it.... It's more of a Limp walk cycle, as our hero has just injured his leg jumping onto the roof of said building:)(in my head, not int he clip) Just thinking of possibilities with this. 7.8megs:( http://www.vrcops.com/vids/ForFun.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Looks good! Is this a photoshop or did you map it in A:M and render with blue background? Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Okay, so what's the problem? Are you saving your file as a .tga? Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Thanks Mike, I'll have to keep at it ... I tried to upload my Photoshop file for you to look at, but it's a bit large ... No dude, don't do that!!! Let me start by asking if you know the steps to create an alpha channel in photoshop?

Hey G.Well, it's pretty easy to do. I went into photoshop. Made a white image. Then blocked in(just draw blocks) black buildings. Then I copied, created an alpha channel and pasted the image into it, then inverted the colors, so A:M would make the non building area's transparent. Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey guys, I wanted to try out a night lighting scene, as most heroes tend to do thier best work at night, no? Just a turnaround test. However there is something lost in the compression from the orginial... http://www.vrcops.com/vids/NightSetA.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Here is a side view if anyone is interested in the body positions http://www.vrcops.com/vids/SideViewerA.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Sniff...Sniff...do I smell a mini-movie? Looks like Housecleaning 101 for Superheros! Perhaps you can have a sequence of him starting with a messed up room filled with tons of furniture & junk, he whizzes around the room in a suitable superhero blur, tossing this stuff out the window (superfast motion stream of junk going out the window) & then ...gasp...he realizes what he's done and in Superhero-time he leaps out window and flys back with all the junk he's throw out (and a sheepish grin), piled high in his arms & slings it all back into some neat orderly attractive floor plan. Ta Da! & then heroically pulls out a sign - "no Littering, $500 fine" (or something more clever) Love the character - love what you're doing EDIT: I'm old - originally I had no loitering, meant to say no Littering...geesh Wow Nancy, where did that come from? Very good idea. I'm wondering if I could pull that off or not. Hmmm. Thanks for the seed Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey Agep, thanks for checking it out! Appreciate the comments. Its all just practice.... and I need lots of it...... wierd grip and all... Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

R2D2:) - I know, he's heading straight for back problems!!!! I have the same table in my office. So, if you try to lift it by grabbing it like that, its such and awkward item, that it almost forces you to lift it wrong.... I however turn it on it's table edge and slide it...... out the window:) Jobe, thanks for the comments! Not a bad character suggestion you just made btw.... Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey guys, thanks for checking it out! and the comments too. Yeah, it's a total Incredibles rip! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey guys, okay, a new clip. While I'm posting these in the WIPs section, I don't plan on refining very much as I want to avoid what I always do.... get caught up working on one thing over and over again. So, my idea is to just sit down when I get a chance and smoosh something together. this took about 30 minutes yesterday and about 20 minutes today. http://www.vrcops.com/vids/TableTossE1.mov Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Hey Entity, thanks for taking a look! I'm actually not coming back to this clip. I want to just keep making little clips like this, but not languish over the (in this case) many issues. I want to see progress happen over different gags! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com

Thanks! Working on a different clip now in the same scene now. Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com
