    I'm beginning to wonder if purchasing A:M was something I should have done. The community seems so closed off and limited to A:M only.

    heh, I've hadmy problems with the community. Theres alot of nice people and then there is alot of really meanies and people who are stuck up....just wait till you meet David Rogers (Obnouak) or howver u spell it. OOPS did I say David Rogers out loud ;)

    New Character

    Hey all, I finally finished another character. I don't got a name for it YET but I was hoping maybe one of you can come up with a cool name ;) . Anyway here it is: b0184ac4.jpg

    Took me about half a day to model, texture and completely rig it. Now for the fun part! Animating!

     

    I wanted to make a simple character to practice my animation skills and this is it. Now I was hoping you all could give me at least one thing to do with him <_<B) . So far I got: Pushing a box (make it so that it looks like he is struggling to push it) and jumping off a building. Thats it :( . Now I could think of probably a few more but I thought it would be cool if everyone could tell me what to animate with him and then I go ahead and animate it and show it to everyone :) . If you are going to say something to animate please make sure to keep it simple like the two examples above but make sure that it is interesting :).

     

    So lets see what everyone comes up with and I'll try my best :)

    Well Vash, If you havn't yet check out Colin Freeman's website at http://www.colins-loft.net/tutorials.html

     

    Those may be too advanced for you right now but dont let those words put your amazing talent down. Try it with all your heart and you can do it. Just might not be perfect at first but thats ok. If you find those too hard though just try drawing a character from your head and then modelling it. Also learn about what causes creasing and what dosn't.

    Made everything in 5 days using version 11. Was my first character as well. That is 256 passes and took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to render and I know I probably could of gotten away with less passes but I was going to take a nap while it rendered so what the heck :P . Hope you all like it. Please let me know what you all think.

    Vash,

     

    Yes you can group the ring by clicking on one point on the ring and then pushing the comma key. It should then select the entire ring that you want. Yea you can attach the image without doing a thumbnail simply by uploading your image to the internet then redirecting that image to your post. When you reply to a post there is a button that says IMG. Use that to find the link to your image. If you want free webspace to upload images I use www.photobucket.com since they are really good but only can post images under 250k and its unlimited as far as I know.

    Vash,

     

    The alligator character is coming out pretty good. Im going to not do a film with him since I want to move on to bigger and better things and plus he wasn't designed so great for the joint movement since I already tested his joints out. I did add a simple rig system to get him to animate but not going to go through with it since I want to make something better. But all in all I have a plan to make him sitting in the dark, smiling and thats basically it maybe a nice color or something but just to use what I made. I see your falcon model and see that it worked out except for one problem. You got a bunch of creases. I suggest you send a email to darklimit asking him to teach you how to get rid of them <_< . No don't! Inside joke since dark is the one who taught me how to continue through splines in there flow so that I don't get any creases. I spent a few days bothering him about it too :P . But anyway what you got to do is get rid of those creases! Unless thats part of the design lol. But just make the splines continue in the flow not make the splines become 6-way intersections heh :). Great luck on the model Vash!

     

    P.s>> I attached an image of the alligator in a facial pose that I did for him. He's sorta smiling lol.

    Vash,

     

    Based on what you said and seeing as I had the same problem with my alligator character usually that just happens. I don't know why but it does. What you can try is two things and this is just my way of getting around it. There are probably more advanced ways to by more advanced users but seeing as im not advanced and I want to help you out I'll give it my best shot :rolleyes: . Ok the first thing you can try is to undo the first copy/flip/attach and try it again. Try it 2 or 3 times before you try the 2nd thing. If that doesn't work well you're going to have to connect and add whatever is missing. Now the 2nd thing you can do is duplicate the 1 side of the head and rotate as nessecary then move the copy of the head close to the original and align it correctly. Then you can connect the splines and continue the flow of the splines. I used the 2nd method for my alligator character and the picture attached is the results I got. I used the 2nd method because I found alot of problems with copy/flip/attach. The problems where the ones that you spoke about. I hope this helps you out Vash! Good luck on the character.

    Thank you so much John for helping me figure this one out :rolleyes: . The last test you did nailed it right on the head. Thanks so much! There is so much you can do with this now. Im gonna work with what you left us and see what I can do. Maybe I can make a scene of a huge rock falling off a cliff into a pile of snow <_< . Ahhh well thanks again John this is really what I was looking for :).
