The lighting gave me some trouble, although under standard Mac gamma, and the NTSC gammas I've played it under, father O'Gratin appears fine. No, for some reason that I didn't have time enough on this project to fix, the shadows were drawing incorrectly, if at all. I'm guessing this is a bug with boolean cutters (Jimmy's mouth) in 10.5o/11A8. I ended up just rendering without shadows. I actually tried dropping negative lights under the characters, too, just for a little rough darkening, but still no luck. Two things I should look into a little further, when I get a chance. There was also an issue with the boolean cutters not subtracting at all in some frames, but in retrospect I should have inspected the normals on them. When you finish an animation, it's hard to do anything but complain. Still, I think the comedy worked, so I'll call it good. And since a guy who actually WORKED on VeggieTales doesn't want to hurt me, I'll be all the happier. Oh, and if anyone's wondering what's on the stained glass window behind them, three words: Best. Picture. Ever. Cheers- -M@

So far its turning out pretty well. I'd like to see another picture of its finished. Your doing great on the patch count. Anyway, how do you make a game? Is it for a company? It sounds like a fun (but time consuming) project. Good luck with it. Robert

Nice work, John! Looks like a fun project. Cozy looking little prefabs! I think your client will be very pleased with these illustrations. My only suggestions (very minor): 1) Give the pool water at least a slight ripple. Looks a bit too much like (hard) glass. 2) I agree with Yves about needing just a touch of warmer light (not that I'm an expert by any stretch of the imagination!). Great work! I hope I can make the brownstones in my tree animation look half as good. Great job of landscaping too...love the trees and plants! Bill Gaylord

Hi ya'll: I can't find the link to the project file you're talking about. I only found one to John's tree. Am I not looking where I should?

Nice models textures and settings and nice project too. My critique is that the lighting looks like the buildings are under a cloudy sky even though the sky looks rather blue / Sunny. It gives a sort of sad feeling to the render even though the setting is rather happygoing. I think that adding a bright yellow sun and shifting the skylight toward bluish would help in bringing out the joy of livin in those buildings.

Mark, Thanks for all your effort to produce, document, illustrate and distribute your work. Awesome to see this kind of thing come together! I'm still looking for a good way to work trees into a project...
-
A link to the project is on the Animation:Master forum. Trees with leaves thread.

I sent it in to Support, but I went in and took the transparency and brightness keyframes out of the emitter, and just use the alpha channel of the hair image to control tranparency and that worked... Now I have another issue where I have this character riding in a car that has a reflective surface on the body. I crash every time I try to render to file. I can turn either the FuFu or the car inactive and either will render to file. but if both objects are active it crashes... I sent that project into support as well. hopefully my client will be understanding of why I can't finish his project... I stayed up till 4:00am trying everything I could think of.

hey zacktaich, I'm really interested how your project comes along, strat was my first electrical guitar, I hope you will do a nice job, your mesh looks at the moment very good. I'm now playing a gibson sg

Xtaz, You're project looks great....fantastic modelling and a great set. I am really looking forward to seeing more of this. And if you're this good with cars, I'm assuming your characters will be top notch as well. Adam

Salve Hashers... ... and the project continues After three days which I was making experiments and almost I lost my hair, I got a reasonable illumination to my set....I should test a night illumination this weekend, comments are welcome ... always thx Xtaz

My Animation on A:M Films
Iham Wrong replied to John Bigboote's topic in Work In Progress / Sweatbox
That's pretty amazing for a one man project. I too admit that the flow was maintained near perfectly and the viewers attention kept on the Jeep Treo. Very well done with some nicely added effects. Congratulations on the successful production. -
This took a few minutes, but might give you another approach to modeling and rigging this thing. The way I look at feet is as if the were a hand. I suppose a birds foot is like a hand also. Here's project file that is rigged with TSM to work like a hand. It uses FK-IK controls that would allow it to be used like a leg-foot system as well. Check the action out. It has the claw animated to show how the controls work. bird_foot.zip

The treeswithleavs project is ready, but it's too big to post here. Any suggestions on where I can post it? That is if anybody is interested. It has 26 images, 5 materials, 6 models and three actions. Added a few sliders to the models. And added the material right to a tree target model to use with the treez plug-in to save a few steps.
-
I did notice something strange today. The color of the model was rendering wrong (defaulting to original color). But I saved the project and reopened it and it rendered fine. The layers for the bigger forest worked well.
-
Unless the other filmmakers put their works up on the Web, there isn't a place to do so. And just in case there's a misconception, we were (to my knowledge) the only animated film entered in the Washington DC segment of the project. All the rest were live-action.
-
Hi John Tried your idea with my leaves project. Animated a couple of trees.

It's not so much a contest as a film festival--more details can be found on their web site, at http://48hourfilm.com/, but in brief, the Project comes to a bunch of cities worldwide, the films are made during a specified weekend for each city, all completed films are screened at a local theater, and one film is chosen as "Best of City" and it goes on to compete as "Best 48-Hour Film of the Year." It started as a local festival in Washington, D.C. in 2001. As for places to view the films, that's left to each individual filmmaker, but the Project does sell a best-of DVD for each year, IIRC. We finished our film past the deadline, so we're not eligible to win anything except the Audience Award (essentially a popularity contest, taken from surveys filled out at each screening). AFAIK, that won't be announced until the Best of D.C. screening on June 11.

Okay, it may not look like much to experienced users but I have spent a lot of time getting here! This is the head of a desmostylus, a prehistoric hippo like creature. I am developing it for a museum project. As you can see, there are no textures applied yet. I am used to a solids modeler where I can use layers or pick an item as a group to isolate components. It seems in AM my only option is to group one section, then lock the rest. this breaks down when I get mutliple parts. Right now I have to work on the lips that meet the lower tusks. In the mouth are inner lips, gums, and the tusks. Trying to find the correct points to move the lips to comform to the tusks without moving something you don't want to change is difficult. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Thank you guys. Not a pain in the arse at all Vern this is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. I'm sure you've experienced it after a while with a project you can't see it anymore Interesting about the two images being similar..you had more guts than me though I didn't even attempt to put hands in mine. I'll fix the paper pdq wouldn't want to interfere with your sleep. One thing though, I wanted this to be a scene in a lonely motel room but I guess it came across more as a bar, ah well what ever works Andy I added a higher spec but it made the hat look rubbery, any suggestions? I will post a wire of the feather, was quite simple to do actually.

Hi all, just wanted to share the results of my current project. Color of hair in generated by a bitmap. The Hairsystem is so cool, but after working a while with it, i would love to have som additional tools/options: It would be great to group/hide control splines. Brushing seems to affect only tle last controllpoints on a spline :-( If i highlight a cp in one view and change to another, the selection is gone :-( aside from that ... cool stuff! Cheers Heiner

This is a head I'm hoping to use for an animation project. Still early days...
-
Thanks for the project file.

I try again! Hi Shaun! Thanks your answer! I'm checking this tutorial,and I'm looking this is a photoshop tutorial! Yes? But I'm interesting in your eye model in particular! How did you make it years ago or now? How much sphere did You use these eyes? How did you render it? Did you use the lights in the eyes?, etc. Ps.: I'm so waiting your lip sync rig and animation tutorial keyframe by keyframe! Because I'm working a big project and I need to be a good lip sync in it! I'm waiting your answer! Thanks before, Sharky
