  2. WOW! I'm finally posting. Unfortunately, It's not much. I said I had a small update and that I'd post it. That was last week before I was hit with the worst flu I've ever gotten. I've been confined to my bed for the last 4-5 days and have had no desire to do anything. Here's the small update I wanted to post.

     

    Now that I'm feeling better, I'll get back to my assignment.

     

    In this clip I polished Tinman only. I got rid of the floating move, added a shoulder shrug as Martin suggested in the beginning poses and added the wide eyes open look to tin when responding to Pessim.

     

    I also shortened the response time as Holmes suggested.

    TM looking really good here George !

     

    Hope you shack that flu totally looking forward to seeing Pessims refined as well

  3. Hi gang,

    I know that this is out of nowhere from some one who had never done a darn thing around here but I have a question. Is Scarecrow in the Hackfest mode? Are all sorts of us interested newbies to the production process going to be able to lend a hand to the work now that it is in the limp along mode? Do we need to get the Art of Animation cred. before we get cued in or not?

     

    I am very impressed that Tin Woodman of Oz is done and out there and I would really like to have persisted in my intention to contribute. I don't want to miss out on this next opportunity and I see now that my idea that I wouldn't be able to commit enough to make a difference on your productions was wrong. My bad, sorry I didn't grab a corner and lift. (hangs head in shame)

     

    Essentially I am looking at your awesome, towering sand castle, standing there with my plastic pail and shovel and saying, "Can I play!"

    Might I make a few suggestions if you look at Robert Holmen signature it has a link to screen tutorials this are VERY usefull and if you look into the archive section of TWO animation you will find a multitude of these that although they are specific to the task at hand we might or I might be able to remember one and maybe find it. I have all of my stuff saved on my hard drive that Robert taught me. So for example if you are having trouble in a certain area and you ask for help I might be able to point you to a video were Robert taught me how to do what you are having trouble with. I could also make a video but I am not in a position to commit to this with my current life situation. So jump in with your shovel and start playing but do not hesitate to ask for help it can be a little over whelming

  4. You'll get that too when you show it to your friends. ENJOY the feeling!

     

    Yep same here. It's like "That's a nice little hobby". Heh. I guess we'll have to wait for the kids who watch it now to grow up before we get any appreciation. :D Here's a comment from youtube:

    Kudos. What a crazy thing to even try... and you guys did it.

     

    BTW I've visited the youtube several times looking for comments and no doubt other participants have too. I still think it's a good idea to increase the tag number for maximum exposure.

     

    I heard that there an art to getting popular on you tube with tags etc. I wonder if Martin will send you the password to the channel you you can add it?

     

    I have been trying to reply to these comments but with all the repostings alot of those have been lost. Trying to get comments going without looking like I am if you know what I mean.

  5. I believe Martin is talking about when Tinman stands up and throws the axe in the air and catches it. IMHO you need to have a pause between throws and more aniticapation in the throw and over laping motion after he catches it.

  6. I wander what is causing the jertery motion of Bill and Trot? Trot asks Mr. Ork if he sees any land and he says not yet but what are all those things below that look like island? If you turn off the back ground stuff maybe te file sizes will be smaller?

  7. 2.How Can I mimic reel camera movements into Animation Master.

     

    I camera has a single bone asigned to it. This bone can be animated just like any other bone is AM chor. simply place the camera were you want it at frame zero. you can then copy it's translate and rotate cp's say one minute down the time lime to make is stay there for one minute. then go farther down the time line and move it and if you want rotate it. you will have the camera stay in place for the 1st minute you can select this and zero slope the cp to lock it down then after the 1 minute it will move to it's next position. So you can do any camera moves you want.

  8. Still a bunch of work to do, but here's the latest. I moved the camera up and down so it looks like the boat is bobbing on the water and I changed the camera angles for the last few shots.

     

    Looking better but I know my wife will not like this scene she got sea sick watching Titanic LOL :rolleyes:

  9. Mark (mtpeak2) I get the feeling you feel your work is not appreciated and I just wanted to thankyou for all your hard work on 2008 rig. I personely know nothing about rigging and I have yet to install anything other then the bonless Tom in TAoAM. So I really had nothing to contibute in your forum posts about 2008 and remained silent but I do appreciate your work and one day I intall it maybe on Keekat?

  10. Mark, do you use the "muliple copies" plugin? That thing is great. I use it all the time even just to copy one or two shortcuts in a choreography. Some of the more complex models could be zipped out pretty quick.

    Can you give me a link to a tut about that I like to try that.

  11. What I am doing is working on a correspondence course in Biology. One of my assignments is to make 3d models of compounds. what they suggest is to use different colored candies and tooth picks then to sketch out the model using shading to show a 3d object. So I started dropiing sphers into a chr and cylinders as the tooth picks ;) I changed the properties of the surfaces to make them different colors. But then I realized that alot of things are repeats and assembling these took time. So I wanted to speed things up and export my chr into a model then bring that model into another chr. So if I instead of changing the properties I creat groups and change the colors in the groups this works. Here are some more items I created.

     

    So my next is Maltose which is 2 glucose molecules joined so I start by converting my glucose chr into a mdl.

  12. are those balls originally colored in the property for the ball model or do they have a group that is colored?

     

    I changed the properties of the model to get he color I wanted but if I use groups it works thanks. This is mt finished model

  13. I have created a 3d model of a fatty acid in a chr using diffferent colored sphers and cylinders and I want to make 2 more of these but they take alot of time. I thought I just export one into a mdl file then import that file and save time. When I Export the multy objects fromt he chr into a model it loses he colors how can I keep hte colors? I should have created this is an action but I aleady but alot of hours into just on fatty acid model and I need more for my assignment.

  14. Ok on with next camera angle in this scene the crow lands on SC hat and he reacts to it along with the dialog. THis is just main poses but I added in a couple of inbetweens. I trying to get eh timing right which is always harder for me than I thinkit should be? I am trying to time the 1st pose change on "after" then I have a breakdown after that pose (why I do not know) then next timed pose is on "Practicing" then on "Successfull" then on "My friend" then on "so" then ending on "Instead" once I get timeing down then I start breakdowns arcing then once sc is done main body motion I then do the crow it SC motion then add detail to both after that.

     

    Looking at this again and again I think freind is late?
