Finally finished! I've been working on this forever, so it feels great to finally have something to share http://www.youtube.com/embed/vd_ekaOdDWg I hope that you like it, and that you share it with your friends and followers so that TAR of Zandoria can find some fans!

He just sent me a version to review, and it is indeed AWESOME!!!!
-
I have an offer by Alan Williams to create the music! He is an award-winning Hollywood composer and conductor with more than 100 motion picture and television credits! www.alanwilliams.com
-
That sounds pretty good! Can you send me an email at zandoria@gmail.com with your contact details? I will email you the link (I don't want it getting out there yet, until I have the soundtrack finished)
-
I need music for the first episode! I would like some simple tribal drums/percussion as the soundtrack. I have finished the rendering (yay) and am editing and recording sound effects [did you know that a wok makes a pretty good sheild clang?]. I have a link to the current cut of the episode, so that you can compose Anybody out there have some jungle drums?

Freelance pros take the zeros out of project bids.

good tip -
those are some amazing tools! i like the facial controls example from Malificent--i was thinking about the example posted on the forum recently of adding action objects in a POSE, and wondered if that might be a great way to bring in a setup like that, since you could use the same control model to drive named pose sliders. You could probably setup one facial control model that you could use posing your characters face, or even set it up for ZignTrack too--it could become the new way to rig faces?

I'm thankful for any avenue that allows independent creators to show their work, and get paid, without having to go through the traditional gatekeepers.... If I had to pitch TAR of Zandoria to get it onscreen, and please someone other than myself, then I don't know how I would ever get MY vision in front of viewers--that I hope to turn into FANS

Simon's Cat...He has over 2 million subscribers [so that should make $2,000/month?...] l5ODwR6FPRQ

Maybe William Detweiler can give permission to use the Knights horse from "Adventures with Boomer". It had cloth barding, but he had trouble getting it to work and abandoned it for the project.
-
You could do a multi-part example: not just clothing, but layering clothing simulations, and using cloth for other things (soft-bodies?)

Welcome to the forum! Let us know if we can help
-
yes, you can do that. In this case, I made a low-res proxy for the cliff and exported an OBJ from A:M. Then I subdivided it in ZBrush and sculpted and painted it. Then I exported the lowest subdivision back out as an .OBJ and imported into A:M. If you setup your decals in A:M, then you should be able to do just what you said--however, once you try UVMaster inside ZBrush, you may not want to bother
-
When you create UV's inside of ZBrush and export an .OBJ and then import it into Animation:Master, your imported model will have a DECAL that uses them. Here is an example of a cliff that I created in ZBrush and imported into A:M. You can see the UVs in the Decal View, and the cliff in the final shot:

Congratulations on this accomplishment--It is something to be proud of! We all start projects, but it is a long slog to get from the beginning to the end! I hope that you will continue and not go back to the day job thing! I'm ready for the Wannabe Pirates movie

Tutorial: Composing Models from other models

Ahhh! Thanks for the explanation -
Tutorial: Composing Models from other models
zandoriastudios replied to mouseman's topic in Design Dynamics presents
Great tutorial! I didn't know that you could do that either!--it is revolutionary!!! I am going to adopt this technique myself One question: in the video you turned the relationship to OFF before you started positioning objects, and then turned it on and made the objects active. What is the reason for this? Would it work to just position the objects in the Pose without that step? I didn't understand--can you elaborate? -
(I think) you can assign a ring of points 100% to one bone, and a distant ring 100% to a different bone. Then select those rings and everything in between and EDIT CP WEIGHTS. That should show you those two bones+ whatever was in between (model bone?)--remove that bone/bones from the list, then BALANCE SELECTED. That should blend between the 2 bones.
-
wow-great tip Robcat! I will start using that!!!
-
I don't think there is a way to mirror it (although Robcat could probably do it in a spreadsheet, because he is so clever), and I agree it is a bit tedious... I have some smartskin and weighting videos on my YouTube channel (but they are tedious as well )
-
Thanks for the critique
-
So here is a re-rendered version of my poster image. I've added a gradient material that changes the diffuse falloff at the edges and toon lines--this looks really good straight out of the renderer, but I ran the oil paint filter on this in Photoshop to give some subtle brush strokes. I think it is a pretty good emulation of a Boris Vallejo "look":
-
KlPlK46gKvA I made some changes to the eyeline, and some major changes to the look. There is something homogenous in the look of current CG animation that is unsatisfying to me, and I want to get a more stylized look (see blog post)
-
anthropomorphic hippo--its a great idea Had similar situation with Richard Starkings and his character "Hip Flask"--I'm sure this artist has never seen TAR, it is coincidence.

dynamic constraint with euler limits
zandoriastudios replied to thefreshestever's topic in A:M Rigging
thanks Robcat! I don't know why that eluded me--it is available in the Action window also. Here is an example (only one bone in this relationship), but should also work for thefreshestever's robot
