(Been around since the Playmation days ) Remarks/Suggestions for Improvement: This posing reminded me of my first pose and animation with "Playmation" (Before it became Hash Animation Master). So, I did the same main action that I did for that. (Boy I wish I still had the original project and animation. ) Rodney, Here's a still from the animation for the exercise qualification.

Admin Rodney Posted January 26, 2006 Author Admin Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks for the follow up Andy. It appears there are a lot of aspects of toon lighting I have yet to investigate.

I like to see what kind of accidents I can have... well... interesting accidents anyway. Me too! My problem however is that I don't document and rarely remember the specific settings used to create a really cool accident. By the time I get around to actually wanting/needing to use that specific style in a project I'm usually at a loss in how to get the look again. Then its back to more experimention and rediscovery. That would probably be a pretty good methodology but each time I experiment I find even more cool things to play with... and the cycle begins anew... I'm gonna have to start documenting this year.

That would probably be a pretty good methodology but each time I experiment I find even more cool things to play with... and the cycle begins anew... I'm gonna have to start documenting this year. I've been telling myself that for years... I've yet to find where I put all the documenting that I've not done. And you'd think, since most of my stuff is computer related (I'm a Network Engineer), it would be a no-brainer to, if nothing else, open Notepad and type out what I did... or do screenshots and plop them into a document. Same with A:M... it's on the stinking computer! But nooooo..... Same in my personal life too.. I'm working on a submission package for a comic strip to send to the syndicates. I'll think of an idea while I'm out somewhere and tell myself "I have to remember to write that down when I get home.". Do I write it down? Nope, I usually totally forget about it, 'til a few days later when I'm beating my head on the proverbial brick wall trying to remember the great idea I had a couple days earlier. Anyway... I'm rambling now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwaters72 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Name: Chris Waters Exercise Completed: #3 Date Completed: 02/19/2006 I was inspired by Hutch's pose - it struck me as very 'Kung Fu/get your whup a$$ on'. So of course my first thought was "Wax on...Wax off, Danielsan!" I'm not sure that this angle completely conveys my Ralph Macchio inspiration but I had fun! Take it easy.

Leo73 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Liquid, I really like how you composed the image. Framing it and all gives it a nice touch. The only thing that I can see (IMO) is on the left side. The placement of the light with the two rabbits on the barrels give that section sort of a cluttered feel. I think if you were to move the light to the left more than it would open up some nice negative space between the two on the barrels. Just my opinions though.

If I get any free time, I might clean up the left side. As for Rodney, Leo73 was able to see the picture and I saw it on another computer, so I assume it is working correctly. Let me know if you can't see it. Since we are on the subject of postings, I know I saw where and how I can post images for these exercises. Please, someone direct me to the treasue trove of knowledge.

mfortunato Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hello Again! I have been able to fly through the first three exercises. I hope to have more time soon to actually try my hand at animation! Woo Hoo exercise 4 coming up soon! But for now, here's exercise 3, MOVE IT! Name: Michael Fortunato Exercise Completed - 3, Move It Date: 03-13-06 Remarks: I'm really digging how easy it is to move the bones around. I can't wait to figure out how to rig 'em myself! I decided to go pretty much with the standard by the book rabbit and then I threw in my own variation for kicks .

I checked out the Setup Machine. Looks really cool. I'll hold off on it, though, until I've learned how to rig a model myself. I'm the type that likes to learn everything. Actually, I'm the lead texture artist for an upcoming King's Quest fan game called "The Silver Lining" (http://www.silverliningthegame.com) and want to get my hands dirty in modeling and animation as well. Texturing and lighting I'm pretty good at...the rest...not so much . Tonight - it's back to exercise 4!
