[Porcelain]

If any of the normals around the five point patch are flipped the wrong way it will make the edge of the five point patch black

[Fist pose]

Thanks John,

 

but the problem with that is it's always additive. So after you position your fingers independently your fist pose will not work correctly.

 

Raf did have hand rig where you could make a fist via pose slider no matter what position your fingers were in. I hope this makes sense

[Fist pose]

One quick question. Will you be implementing the fist closed pose in TSM2 ? (the one that can make a fist from any position)

That was such a nice feature and Raf is the only one that knows how to rig it as far as I know.

 

Thanks David

[How does it work?]

Have you tried switching from openGL to direct3D ? or vise versa?

[Deleting frames]

Hi hyperMike

 

If you wanted to delete just frame 20 you could make a keyframe on frame 19 and 21.

Then just select all your keyframes from 21 to 50 and slide them back one frame.

[Character anim - UPDATED]

That was good! I was hoping you would finished it. alot of nice subtle stuff going on there.

[Having fun with Mr Ball]

Very nice!

[Character test anim]

Now that was funny. Great animation!

[Kapsules]

Those are some great characters and the set very complimentary to them.

nice work

[Crits for Crickets]

Really nice Jack, my 3 year old daughter just wants to watch it over and over.

Im sure Hash is hoping you get it done on time too!

[Crits for Crickets]

bad link Jack

[Falling stuff]

WoW nice animation you have there! The green guy falling on him is dead on.

I see a lot of nice little touches you have added like the guy shaking before the pot falls, adjusting the hat before he goes into anticipation pose sweet stuff!

Cant wait for the hi-res version

 

 

BTW great website I love the simple clean layout, great models, animation and drawings.

[HASSAN CHOP!]

Hi zachBG,

 

Nice entry, those showdowns are alot of fun.

I agree with Godfrey, I like the pose with his feet off the ground you should try holding it for 6-10 frames so we can see it. Thats the pose that will sell the shot

 

nice work

[Ballman]

Thanks Doug but I knew I shouldn't have told you where I live

[Ballman]

[Ball Chap]

Nice smooth run even threw in a little squash & stretch nice touch

[A little animation]

Is that a different version of ball guy or did you link wrong animation?

[Ballman]

thanks for the comments

 

Parlo - It is DIVX 5.1.1 sorry about that I should have posted .mpg

 

iso - Great little model and set up. I should have posted where I got it! I was thinking it was on this forum though ...Thanks

 

pdaley - Thanks for the ideas ! now I have to learn how to use sprites

 

Rodney - No secret to timing footstep sounds just position sound about 1 frame ahead of ground contact.

[Ballman]

haven't posted anything in a while. Downloaded the ballman model and played with it last night for a while and then added gunshot sound effects today. May work on it a little as im not sure if the ending reads too well, also add some motion blur

Try playing around with the lighting. Maybe a few low intensity lights as of now the fur looks pretty washed out. I think giving the fur it's own lighting will improve render quality dramatically. I noticed this when I was working with one of Jim talbolts models. When I tried lighting fur along with rest of model it looked all washed out and bright.

[Elbow Joint]

Another little tip for the elbow joint when using FK. Change the manipulator options in the bones properties from standard to rotational and uncheck the Z and Y axis. this way the rotation manipulator will automatically come up when when you select the bone and only in the x axis. This saves you from hitting the R key and prevents you from rotating elbow on the wrong axis. Good for lazy people like myself.
