is this too worth developing

[johnl3d]

This is part of an idea for the DVD ball in out project but I'm wondering if its too weird

 

I animated Shaggy running and saved it with an alpha channel

 

made a flat plane and added hair using the Shaggy animation as the hair image

 

moved the plane in the chor

 

made ball model and roughly animated it as if the crowd of Shaggys were moving it along that needs tweaking

 

 

But I'm wondering is this too weird of an idea to finish

 

Have a few other ideas

 

Has a deadline been set for entries?

You can come up with the wierdest things, you know that? It looks like real shaggy's running across. But why don't you just use real Shaggy's? Oh right, that would take muchh longer though. Muchh muchh longer.

I think its a great idea to finish - only thing that bothers me now is the horizon - would prefer to see it against either a 1 color background or gradient background from blue to green. Or could also change the position of the shaggie crowd to be higher so that the top of them is not coincident with the horizon -

 

good idea.

also might be more interesting if you could make 3 -4 different emitters that are slightly out of phase with the shaggy animation -

Nancy both are good ideas. The angle for the final shot would be different and I thought about adding another Shaggy version but in some ways thought the synchronized group was funny
