  1. I am in a project now and don't want to overextend, but I saw this for a portland, oregon job.

     

    "

    We are a video production company out of Portland, OR getting ready to move to NYC. We will be selling our first of many screenplays to Hollywood for production out of NYC. We wanted to give some of our local Portland members a chance to get in on something big before we take off.

     

    We will be needing some professional work done with 3D animation. I can explain in further detail upon reviewing your past projects. Only links to online work will receive a return email.

     

    The animation would include a cartoon-type snail, and a clueless squirrel. Think "Ice Age" squirrel-type character.

     

    Please respond with links, and required pay. Total duration would be about 10- 15 seconds.

     

    Looking forward to working with fellow Portlanders before leaving!"

    if anyone see a job that we could use and could post it for us, I would appreciate that. A job is a job, and in computer it doesn't care where you are. If you can't do it, then let someone from the community take a shot at it, yes?

  2. where should i cut down on the splinage Dhar. i am not trying to sound like i am perfect and i dont see where, i am still learning and would like to know.

    this is just for me to learn more stuff.

    I have to agree, I dont see where he could reduce the spline. I would er on the heavy side if he is going to animate Sam.

  3. Nick Porcino made a bridge of the Enterprise that I used to demonstrate Artic Pig plug-ins. The bridge is simplyfied to 2040 patches and could be modified to include more detail. I think it would be perfect for a animation set, and I would look him up and ask for permission. He has quite a crew as well fully rigged.

  4. I'm sorry, I didn't know you haven't modeled the interior. But now that I see Asis' floor plan, I see steps going to foyer first and then more steps to the living room. Ah!

     

    It makes sense now. But yeah, your modifications makes it harder for me to imagine how you could possibly get in tht room with some steep steps.

     

    Unless, of course, it was an Escher design ;)

    If I ever got married and had kids, an eschler house would be the thing to get me my own private time. Lose the kids in the maze.

     

    My commision didn't fall thru I am free to work on the house to my heart content and I may do the whole inside. I would use it for my little comic book. This house could have a basement where my science lab is. Ok, Maybe too much "slider" episode.

  5. Could you turn the camera towards the front door? I still can't figure out how you get to this room from the front door.

    LOL- your killing me!

     

    Well gosh darn it! I am going to have to make an entrance for you. You have force hand on me. I don't have a clue how you get in so I guess I will have to find a way.

    I will borrow some of his idea. Since I got the idea from him in the first place, but I highly modified it. I totally change the back of house.

     

    Since the person who wanted me to comission the work for him back out and not to blame because of my double bike accident I now started back into modeling.

  6. This is the basic room with 9,000 patch. I made the cornice and I was pretty deep into it and selected almost all of them and accidently press delete when I was aiming for the forward slash and deleted the whole thing, then I prayed and waited for the system to catch up and then press undo and it all came back. Quickly I save the file, and thank my lucky stars. Close call! Turn the cornice into a bump map. I am thinking of doing the same for the ceiling with a tin impression, and a center piece for the art deco chandelier. I am doing a new render in stereo and I'll post it in the stereo of the feb contest as this is the inside of the house that I modeled for the contest.

  7. Nothing wrong with admiring someone else work, even if its provocative. I feel that every snowflake is unique and so is every model that you make. I would sometime use a morpher program and take 2 of the model head shot that I like and morph the 2 together and create an interesting new model to try to create from. This way I wont encounter problem of using a particular person to model from for complete descretion or some case a well known celebrity.

     

    Now as for body parts. I have created a leg but it had problem for animation. So I find another artist mesh work for the leg and copy it much as I can but conform it to the leg I had shapewise so the animation is better and smoother. The community is good to learn from and pooling the talents of others to increase your own skills.

  8. I dont have a choice, I have a $70,000 bill from my double kidney operation and forever in debt, so a bike will have to do. You can see why I voted for a democrats, to get the bankcrupcty law back so I can start over. I want a national health care or something. anyway, my arm is coming along, maybe in a week it'll be better. I still haven't got a new bike yet from Farmers. When I get it, I'll paint it yellow.

     

    I actually felt like breaking down for a bit. just feeling so unlucky. I got a break and came in second for the superbowl prediction with my random guesses. I have great friends, my Tai Chi student went to another tiachi class and the instructor said I did great teaching them the first form. so maybe I am not so unlucky afterall.

     

    incidently both days were on the 3rd of each month. I am taking the 3rd off next month and mark it on my calendar. My final destination. NOT!

  9. looking pretty good, and stylistic of your own.I have one question, and that is if she is going to wear lip stick, then would you not then finish the rest of her? if a woman going to wear makeup, than she would probably also put on eyeshadow and eyebrow liner. But if you are going for the superclean and zesty look, then maybe tone down the lip to a natural coolr? just my opinion only.

  10. The part that I find confusing, actually intriguing, is after you enter at the front door, how far down is it to go to the front room?

    Without sounding like I have no clue(which I don't) I would say the immediately to the left is the coat closet, straigth ahead on the left side is the stair going up to second level and to the right is down across the Glass block windows which leads to the door access to the garage from inside. The entry has open ceiling all the way up. The skylights from the cylinder tube structure open up at top level letting the lights come thru and also has a circular stairs going to the roof top patio below the roof top patio is the kitchen.

     

    Keep in mind I was only to construct, a dining room and bathroom and the outside of house. The main thing is, I have plenty of doors to not make this a firetrap.

     

    I am thinking of reconstructing the outside house with tranparency maps for all the windows and door. My question is , will the transparency mesh slow down rendering versus mesh? I have one transparency maps for the skylights only.

     

    I think once I convert all the curtains into a decal map, that it will cut down mesh considerably. To make all the blinds posable was work as it can raise and lower as well as turning them.

     

    I don't have a blueprint to the house, but at least I don't have a bowling alley like I did when I had a blueprint of a house when I was 12 years old.

  11. Nice looking house. I'm not sure how the front door works with the interior! Are there five steps down to the front room? Very strange entrance.

     

    the fancier the front entrance sometime indicate the security of the home. There will be no prank door bell ringing, dang! I need a door bell!

     

    here's another angle of the front entrance. I will have to make a decal map instead of procedural and line up the brick better.

  12. Nice looking house. I'm not sure how the front door works with the interior! Are there five steps down to the front room? Very strange entrance. I'm guessing this house is in Florida or some hot place with little rain, which explains the lack of rain gutters, the flat roof with access for some sun bathing and I'm guessing it faces east because its back windows are small so as to restrain the hot afternoon sun from heating up the interior.

     

    But at 30,000 patches, this'll be a bear to animate render time wise.

    When I am done with the house I'll make a render of the plants, drapes and interior and then lay it flat as a decal and take out the un-needed patches. Make a low-res version of the house so that the person can chose where the high detail will be needed.

     

    Also depending where you would shoot the scene I would start with a complete house, but you can select the part of model in the scene then copy and paste into another model or make part of model visible, the house is broken down into 3 section, garage, entrance, and dining room. The bathroom is in the garage section, and the dining room is to the front left. The dining room still have more work to do.

     

    The house is constructed off the top of my head, and I did make a rough draft of how it is put together, but the front is base of a architectural drawing from the web. Correct on the facing of the house one side lots of windows the other lack there of. There is no gutter, because modern house are common in florida and made entirely of mortar with rounded bevel edges. I will construct drain hole for the top patio off the kitchen.

  13. I really admire the work of some of the artist in architectural and I plan on doing some more tweaking as suggest for the brick. After getting hit by a truck, the chiropractor been really great and I am getting my hands back full time. last week I had 2 more fingers to go, and today feels pretty good. Still have headaches but not unbearable. I am going to be alright. Enough about me!

     

    this model nearing 30,000 patches, and I grab the plants from the data CD, and the garabge can as well. Unleash the criticism please.

     

    This house has posable garage door and blinds. Furnish dining room and working on master bathroom.

  14. that looks much better, now all we need is a chandelier!!!!

     

    are you planing on using radiosity or AO?

    I think I agree with Gerry

     

    if this is a modern living room then at least change the mantle to reflect the style of the geometrical shape of the fireplace itself. as of now its a mixture of classic and modern.

  15. if she is indeed the strongest woman on the planet, you may think about giving her some back muscles. her hip may look wide because she has no back. the torso just goes straight up with no hour glass figures. also if she had some lattisimus muscles the chest would look more proportion.

  16. Thanks guys

     

    This model is entierly based on a toy version of the Grimlock transformers that I bought at Toys'R'us

    Did you give the toy back to your kid?

     

    have you contact the toy maker with this yet? I think they would love to see it. I bet the kids would get wide eye just seeing this animation.

  17. The last legal hanging in the USA was in 1936 so unless you know something I don't please do share.

     

    I never said they still use it but it is still there, it is in the law books in some states that it is an option. but with most people being more liberal these days it will never be used i nthe states again. just thought it was interesting that we as a nation are so much younger than any other and yet we have moved away from the hangings unlike Iraq which most say that the root of civilization came from there, is still stuck on it.

    I am going to move this topic to the OT if you want to further divulge in this.

  18. The last legal hanging in the USA was in 1936 so unless you know something I don't please do share.

     

    Now if your still wanting to do a hanging animation piece, let me suggest Roger Miller song

     

    "Dang me, Dang me, take a rope and hang me to the highest treeeeeeeee! , woman don't you wait for me!"
