AniMattor Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 This doesn't quite fit here, and it doesn't quite fit in WIP. I've finished the animation, but I'm still rendering--and will be for some time! The story came from a sound project I did in college a few years ago. Today I realized that it's easy to add pictures to my posts, so this is my second one of the night. Comments/Crits welcome, but I can't change much at this point. I've rendered in multiple passes and composited in photoshop. I'm compositing the final in after effects. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I can't really see anything that needs any changing. Where is this dude going? Where is he driving off to? Story, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniMattor Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 He's on a long commute back from the city where he works on a cold lonely day...and his radio doesn't even work. It'll be a while till I have it all done, but there'll be a link here for sure. Thanks for the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniMattor Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I just got done with a personal record on rendering time... 79:01:54. what it took for 22 seconds. Now I ony have a little over a minute more to render! Here's another shot of Joe. A closer shot from one of his more contemplative moments. enjoy, and thanks for all the comments. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modernhorse Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Matt - That is a very expressive character. His eyes! I have no crits, except that I'd love to see him in a brighter scene. Are you submitting this for the mini-movie contest perchance? Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenH Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Say Matt....are his eyes decals or materials? If materials, could you tell me which one you're using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Looking good and looking forword so seeing the animation.......did you render in tga , avi, mov...? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniMattor Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'll answer questions in revers order. michael:I'm rendering Joe and the truck interior as .tga sequence, because it takes 15 minutes per frame, and I don't want to lose anything. The backgrounds are rendered as .mov, and I composite in after effects and put in the rain at that point. ken: the iris is a texture, the pupil is a modeled hole in his eye. Outside of that I have another layer that is transparent except for a very high specularity to give the highlight. pixelmech: mini movie contestt? I hadn't thought of it actually. I may. I still have about a minute and 20 seconds to render, so I may not have it done in time. I only have my own machine to render on, so I can't render all the time. But I will enter if I can. Doug: I'll put another render of him up if I have time. He's also the star of my contest entry for mechanical a month or two ago, if you want to see him in a different environment. happy splining!

Zaryin Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Great character. I also love the eyes. Like everyone I find them very expressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
