[Move one part at a time]

You need a "hold" keyframe to keep the leg still until it is time for it to move. Look at your timeline to see how your keyframes are set out.

[How to use model as path for camera rotation]

Make your path (ring) in the Choreography window. You can still lathe a point to get a ring for the camera to track round. This way it is a Path and not a spline from a model. So build it in the Cho and you will be fine.

 

Hope this helps

[Quasimodo Anim]

Great acting! I like it a lot. Did you use this shot from the film as reference for your animation?

 

Yeah I did to an extent, I used the scene as a guide for some of it watching it over as I did parts of it.

 

Cheers Dale....

[Messin around with Quasi...]

Posted a new version of QT at top of this thread...

 

Cheers AndyG

[Messin around with Quasi...]

I did it last night throughout the evening, 3 or 4 hours. I still like to break my audio down by sitting listening to the wav file and writing out a dope sheet. That was really how it came about. I was just getting back into the programme and messing around.

 

Glad your girls liked it!

 

Cheers AndyG

[Messin around with Quasi...]

That's pretty cool, Andy. You need to help up animate on TWO.

 

I'd be a bit scared of that! What I've seen of TWO looks amazing... and a fair bit out of my league as far as animating goes...

[Messin around with Quasi...]

Hello there folks, did another quick pass on Quasimodo, took Rodneys advice and had the character focus on the gargoyle more. The QT file is here:

[Constraint to path]

I have created a path in the chor and have tied a character to the path and then applied an walk action to the character. I have set the time of the action/walk. The time only goes 3/4 of the path. I have render the chor. My question is this, why does the character continue to move on the path with out the action the last 1/4? What I want is to apply another movement before the character moves on the path later in the chor.

Set the ease for the path constraint to 100% on your last frame, sounds like your ease is hitting 100% at the 75% mark.

[Render like this?]

Hey Dan, when you say....

 

Make the entire set and all models pure white and have an ambience of 100 and ambience color of pure white.

 

Im still using V.10.5 Is ambience colour a new thing? Ive noticed I dont get as much detail as you are getting in my shots.

Hi Folks, Just wondering if anyone knew a way to render a model like this. Its a source file for a stereogram generating programme. I think the rule is that lightest values in the pic appear foremost in the stereogram. Maybe there is a way to do it post render... any ideas?
