paulmcg1 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hey all, I finally finished another character. I don't got a name for it YET but I was hoping maybe one of you can come up with a cool name . Anyway here it is: Took me about half a day to model, texture and completely rig it. Now for the fun part! Animating! I wanted to make a simple character to practice my animation skills and this is it. Now I was hoping you all could give me at least one thing to do with him . So far I got: Pushing a box (make it so that it looks like he is struggling to push it) and jumping off a building. Thats it . Now I could think of probably a few more but I thought it would be cool if everyone could tell me what to animate with him and then I go ahead and animate it and show it to everyone . If you are going to say something to animate please make sure to keep it simple like the two examples above but make sure that it is interesting . So lets see what everyone comes up with and I'll try my best Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I like 'im! He looks like a mutant frog I cought once but seriously, he's good looking. You could try... a fist-fight? climbing a box? climbing a ladder? getting hurt by punching something hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisThom Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Make him: Eat some healthy fruit Cut back on his cholesterol. Brush his teeth Sweep the floor Think about pies Choose not to live in regret from his decisions of the past. Learn how to skydive. Learn the cello Grow up to be his own man. Long for something better in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwoelbel Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Mornin Paul; Unless *you* name him, "Bob" is as good as any. Right now, only you know "who" he is. Something fun to do with only a few other props - have him ski a slalom couse or ski-jump. The Agony of Defeat part would be pretty fun and perhaps gruesome to do. Of course, you'd need to get him some skis, poles and some snow to swoosh over. Have you ever been ski-ing? I did once. It was extremely fun and terrifying at the same time.

Newbert_Zero Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 ummmm the animation was.............well you did a nice job modeling the charecter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:shortdog:. Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 good first animation of that char! I think you might want to look at some of the tut.s for eyes, when he bends down his eyes don't look quite right. Also, he speeds off the screen a little to quickly, you could slow that down a bit, unless that's what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbert_Zero Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 is he supposed to be flying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Couldn't view the quicktime. Probably because it is an AVI!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
