[Finished Rigging]

That is truthfully a very cute character..could you post up the model file? I'd like to check it out!

Sure!, This is my first character ever so there probably was better ways of modeling and rigging him but he works well enough.

I believe you can download WinRar for free.

He looks great  Now, make an animation with him and get it in the MMC #2!

Ya I should, he's a bit tricky to animate because of his eye stem rigs, seems to take forever to position right. But I could try.

And for those that dont remember my character heres a full body screenshot.

Well I completely finished my character, (I know it took long enough) but here is a test animation of my characters eyes, I've made him come alive with blinking power! Enjoy.

 

Well now how come I cant attach the avi file? Its less than 1 meg. Hmm I guess i'll just give you the rar file.

Wow william!, where did you learn to draw like that... I wish I was a better artist, I guess I should start drawing more to get some practice!

["The Tin Woodman of Oz"]

Wow! How the forums have changed, I leave for 3 months come back and now were working on a movie project! Looks like there are some amazing ideas out there, hopefully I can contribute some once I get used to Animation Master again.

[My First Character]

Check the chain of bones that the eye stems are assigned to. You may have some which are not attached to their parent/child. That would cause a sharp bend at the unattached joint when moving the nulls down.

 

Ok I fixed all that up and have no creasing. Accept! Which bone out of the many in his eye stems do I assign a aim at constraint for the null. None of them seem to work they way I want it to

 

Animate him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'll work on that as soon as possible

[My First Character]

I'm finding it hard to position his,eye stem thingies.... I want to get it so I can control them the same way I do for his knees (I control the knees by constraining them to a target null). Although if I try a similar technique for the eye stem's it doesnt really work because it causes a sharp 90 degree angle in them and I cant control them properly.

Any suggestions?

[My First Character]

Well after alot of procrastinating I finally finished rigging my character, here is an updated render.

[Duel poster]

Wow Raf!, That animation is amazing. I especially like how you give each character there own style of fighting. That makes the animation much more beleivable!

[2 new swimsuit renders]

Nice!, After you have the body modeled how do you model the clothes to fit on her?! sorry I just never understood how people give characters clothes

Wow that looks simple yet awsome. how long did it take you to do that?

 

I finished him in a couple days of working on him, not sure exactly how much time I put into him altogether

nice character ...

my two cents, the next step would be to weld the legs to the body ... make a nice texture to him, and work whit lights

can we see wires ???

keep the good job

 

Ya i'm not sure if i'm going to attach the legs, also what kind of texture would you suggest?

 

ps. How do I render a wire frame of my character?

[monster bull is speechless]

ps how do i make it so the pic show its ugly mugin this window?

If you attach make the file a jpg it should work.

[1st Attempt]

HAHAHAHAH

 

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.

 

I'll post another pic in a bit that will hold another clue.

ok I didnt think it looked like a squiral

[Wood]

With all these great materials and models!?!? You want to render in another package!?!

 

Ahh. . .

 

If you NEED to move motion info to another app then I'll probably be able to help you out soon but. . . man. . . it'd have to be a big need cause things are damn cool in A:M land. I have never been more enthusiastic and optomistic of the future of A:M than I am now.

Ya the reason is me and my friend are making a short together but he is so stubbern about rendering it in lightwave instead. Even though i tell him AM is just as good. That would be so cool if you could help me out in being able to move motion into lightwave!!! Then we could start making progress on our short

[Eye Candy]

Wow that avatar is so cool Jon, who would of guessed to hover the mouse over it.

[My First Character]

Lol, ya I was surprised when I saw this picture rendered! It turned out much better than I thought it would.

[My First Character]

Well I didnt want to start a new thread but here is another picture of my character which I think is much better!

[My First Character (semi-repost)]

Ok cool, looks like something worth investing in.

 

If it only worked, What's wrong with it?

[Chair Wars]

IMO

I'm sorry but I couldnt help my curiosity. Whats IMO mean? I've seen many people use this but i've never understood what it meant.

 

ps.

 

sorry if i'm not up on my lingo

[My First Character (semi-repost)]

I just downloaded TSM2 a couple hours ago - so I'm achin to get started.

Ummm... you can download that? if you can legally, where?

[Ger in the Gobi Scene]

I think he meant just his second scene.......well I sure hope he did becuase that is so amazing! I especially like the vibrant colors and the depth of focus. It would be a great location for an animation!
