Hi Daniel!
Nice work as always.
Your logo animation works very well.
Pity about the lack of a credit, but I'm sure seeing your work on the website and knowing how many view it is a reward in it's self.
Cheers

Well done Tom!
For what it's worth I think the regular 3d looks best.

Nice work Nathan.
I agree the splashes are very effective, good work on the lights also.

Nice improvements since my last visit.
The grill works much better now, the original looked as if it had been stuck on as opposed to being an integral part of the car.

I too haven't heard of the book so can't comment on accuracy.
It's a nice car though and I could certainly imagine it in a children's book or animation.
Are you planning to take this further and build a fleet perhaps??

Tony.
This is good work for your first animation.
Sound track is well chosen.
I feel the sack could use more animating, until the last few seconds it looked like an inanimate object with all movement coming from the camera.
You could add slow movement such as having the sack look slowly from side to side. You could also make it look like the sack is crying with a slight rocking motion. Maybe a combination of both suggestions would help.
Once you've added a little more life to the sack you won't have to rely too much on camera rotation. Don't ditch it all together though as I think the slow zoom in/out worked well.
Nice work Tony, hope the suggestions help, I'm sure you'll also come up with more of your own.
Cheers

Got it Tony!
Left click to take you to the website screen (shown below) then right click on TheSadSack.mpg
It doesn't run on my quicktime player. Nero required a plugin for sound but I would have to pay for it!
Internet explorer was given as a possible program to view but this only showed a torn quicktime emblem and no video or sound.
The good news is that it worked in Windows Media Player and WIN DVD.
It took about four minutes to load on broadband, which is ok but bear in mind that dial up users may not be willing to wait 45 mins or so for download.
I strongly recommend using quicktime, low res and medium compression for a WIP as you'll have more viewers to critique your work.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi Tony!
Sorry, no joy for me.
It took about five minutes to load (broadband 650k) then nothing happened.
Quicktime seems to be the preferred format for the forum as it can be viewed by PC and MAC users.
You may also want to post a lower format/more compressed version for the dial up users.
I'll check the thread later in case the problem's been solved.
Cheers

Hi Mark!
You're making great progress with the head.
The only thing that looks a little off to me is the lump on the forehead (I've ringed it in the picture below), this may be the mountain that Colin referred to earlier.
Keep up the good work Mark.
Cheers

I like it so far. As jamagica said the hood needs tweaking.
I see what you mean about the grill. Maybe it would look better longer and beneath the headlights?
Keep it up Tom!
Cheers
Mike

Looks good so far.
Are you planning a photorealistic or cartoony monster car?
Good luck and keep posting!
Cheers
Mike

Thanks for taking the time and trouble jamagica!
I'm still struggling with the basics at the moment but I've saved your tute for later.
Thanks again.

how do you find the dopesheet in exercise7 of AM V11.1. they say to right click in the actions and then pick new and .............................alas no dopesheet.
Make sure that you have opened an action window then right click in the window.
I've attached a picture of what you should see, if you don't you'll maybe get a better response posting your own topic either in new users or animation master.
Hope this helps

Nice work Dale, how many are working on it?
Cheers

Wow! Terrific model.
You've had A:M for about the same time as me and you're already lightyears ahead!
Well done, I'm sure you've a great chance in the competition.
I've seen people post their entries and WIPs before the competition but most don't. It's really up to you.
Best of luck!
Cheers
Mike

Great work!
Very atmospheric. How long did the actual render take?
Cheers

Looking good Mike.
If you are using it literally as a backdrop, ie with characters entirely in front of a separate image, you may be better moving the camera further away and zooming in. The walls appear to slope back due to the wide angle lens.
If your characters are inside the backdrop this wouldn't matter.
BTW thanks for the info on posting. I'll try that next time I post a link.
Cheers
Mike

Looks great, a really professional piece of work!

Nice bathroom Mike.
I like the lighting, have you posted this in another thread it looks familiar?
Mind you I've visited many in my time!!
A little unconventional perhaps, but it's meant to fit with the character design--big and blockyCan't wait to see the result. BTW how do you post a link yet change the link address to read character design?? I've seen it used but haven't been able to work it out.
Keep up the good work
Cheers

Try using Quicktime and set the compression to Sorenson 3, medium quality. For me, it produces ridiculously small file sizes and is very cross-platform compatible.
And you can make further savings (without compromising quality) by reducing framerate (within reason) and having quicktime use less keyframes.
I've just come across this thread (I've been busy of late and can't use the forum as often as I'd like).
Your doing some great work, I'm really looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers

does any one have any ideas as to how to have a black model that still can show shadows on itself?
A lighter shade of black! Very dark gray I guess.
-
Hi Nathan!
Great racers, the black one is my favourite so far.
Here is another one of the racers I plan on using, Still debating on what color the number should be.You should get away with more or less any colour with a black background.
Personally I'd go for a metallic colour like gold/silver/bronze or a bright red if I really wanted it to stand out.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Mike
