    This project made me wish for the new NLE capability in ver 15

     

    BTW It cost me $2 to fill my tank with gas. Are people really paying $50 for a tank of gas?????

     

    I made 2 clip with flame and without flame then played with the transparency control in the animation. The paper being burn made the edge too sharp. Any suggestion on how to make paper burn more realistic?

  2. The animation is pretty good, but I see the foot needs to be nail down. It's not a biggy, but it is one thing that a professional will look at when you show a walk cycle.

     

    I have been watching this thread for awhile, and I can see tremendous effort and progress from beginning to now. It is exciting to see a model become a character with life.

  3. My 2 cents worth..... There is no feeling of weight in the crash, ie it may as well have been a balsa wood model.

     

    With the nose down flight the speed through the air would have been much higher. If you wanted it as slow as you have it then the aircraft need to come in, maybe skip the ground, nose up a little, stall then land. If it had in landed that lightly at proper speed (one engine was still going) it would have skidded over the grass for 100's of meters.

     

    If it was to end as abruptly as you have it then it will have hit hard, heavy AND the nose would have dug in. ie where is the wing tip flex, If it does stop abruptly then the tail will spin around or the craft will crumple or break open.

     

    Re the limitations of the real footage - just drop the aircraft into the left hand field first then have it bounce through past the tractor.

     

    Cheers

     

    I agree with the landing, I would add that once you landed the inertia of the wind would blow the smoke onward as the smoke didn't hit the ground. I would have a little bit of smoke still going forward and then kick back to nature direction of wind. I would have less airplane smoke and kick up dirt smoke from the ground. Those wings just push air into the ground and then furled it back up behind the tail.

     

    But other than that this footage would have been good enough for Hollywood.

  4. Not just those two, you should model the rest of her as well....... ;)

    When I did that I wanted to show that converting a whole comic book into a stereographic comic book was possible. For any comic book artist out there listening, and wanted to inquire a hash animator for the job, apply here.

     

    Seriously, this is another avenue that I think could be pursue. I have always love the red/blue glass comic book. Back then you had to draw out both side, but with this program, it is so much faster. Because it is so much easier, you could add more object and depth to the scene. When the 3d comic book first came out, the level of detail were so sparse compare to today. The stereo version comic book is the way to go. Beowulf, spy kid, and more movies are doing it, and new theater that specialized in 3D are being built to accommodate them. I think the new generation will know how to look at cross eye art. My one year old grand nephew runs to the parallel glasses from the 1900's to look at pictures. He go to the shelves the moment he arrives.

     

    My point is that we tend to think that we need to model the character to create a story, when the other option of drawing them out then use the program to convert them to 3D stereo. You could draw out each object on its own layers, and then reuse the drawing to place as another layer again for another scene.

     

    Anyway, I made too many women in hash, I never thought I say it, but I need a man.

     

    BTW I am 1/4 Welsh, and always wonder what the women are like in Wales. Catherine Zeta Jones is one of them.

  5. I wish I knew Spanish! I'll wait till the 25th

     

    I was going to say something, but I realized that if I do, then it would give away the story. I am glad to see such an attempt. More E-comic please!

  6. This reminds me of my 'pre-hash' days... I was looking for an inexpensive 3D app to do some motion graphics with and I bought 'Impulse Imagine' for $100. My first render came out all black and I never opened the app again... turns out there was no lights in the scene!
    Anyone that have an example of real actor film with a green screen imported into a CGI background?
  7. can you describe the problem a bit more, or show a bad render?

    Real life onto a CGI movie. Like real life actor in a green screen room, then transfer on top of a CGI background?

    then you would need to key that color out to do that. It is much easier to place CGI on top of real footage of film regardless of how you got the original footage.

  8. GREAT IDEA! Or you could go the OTHER way...and make the car into a 'Big Daddy Roth' muscle style car...

     

     

    KINDA like I did in this sample on A:MFilms.... (watch for the Ford Mustang...it was a normal model that I 'souped up' using the distortion mode feature, which was new at that time...)

     

     

    OOOOPS: Here's that link: http://www.hash.com/amfilms/search/entry.php?entry=947

    Cool Mustang! I like how you animate the car while driving, and give it that suspension action.

     

    The Baby car is pretty cool too! I can almost see the baby car say his first word "putt putt" and the parents gets all excited when it can say "Vrooom"

     

    Teach him color like red, green , and yellow? or throw a car alarm system tantrum when he is tired.

  9. That was pretty cool. The only thing that sticks out is there is way too much body motion during the lip sync. Almost made her seem to be vibrating when she talks. Tone that down a little, cuz "Man, the was annoying", lol.

     

    Sorry dude, couldn't resist. :lol:

    I'll have to redo the whole thing, but I will keep that in mind. I modified the model a bit. I was thinking at the time that she has no arms to use for body expression. So, I guess I made up for it by overdoing her body.

     

    thank you for the comment! I wanted that.

    I got word that I can disclosed this, and it was a paid assignment, yee haw! I hope to animate this someday. I have kind of been animating this on the side to make sure it works. This was kind of a fun character to make. Its a compound bow, a fishing rod, and a shotgun. What thought went into how to make a inanimate object to life? It was a task and challenge that I love doing.

     

    I wasn't expected to even discern the sex of the object?
