brainmuffin Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Here's a look at my Pass the Ball entry. It still needs some tweaking to make the ball movement smoother during the "circle pass" it needs to be a bit more circular. Also, when he tosses the ball offscreen, it should be quicker, I think. The final rendering is going to have a volumetric spotlight, too. I might do another one or two if I can come up with the moves and animate it in time. Lazlojuggle1.mov Quote
Newbert_Zero Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 wow that was really smooth and real looking! great job! he looks frozen after he flicks the ball though. Quote
agep Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Cool! Great animated. Only crit I have is what you mention yourselves Quote
Fishman Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Very cool! I like the look and I think the motions are interesting for the short length. My only comment is that when the ball first comes on screen his hand is moving from left to right to catch the ball and it seems very stiff. Also, the way the ball lands, it isn't obvious what stops its motion. The hand is horizontal and the ball just stops. I think it would be more convincing if the hand were angled more up (break it at the wrist) and contacted the ball sooner to make it obvious that it was slowing the ball and catching it - that way it would be obvious why the ball came to a halt when the hand came to be horizontal. Like it a lot! Scott Quote
NancyGormezano Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 fun idea - love how his eyes, head follow the ball motion, and I am intrigued by the very interesting ball manipulation - only crit I have is at the end when he puts his arms down - looks stiff - would like to see some sort of flourish with his hands/ wrist movement - something to indicate the "tada!" moment. clever stuff.

seven Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Really clever work! I did something with a ball too - but not that clever... http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14391 My guy having a little more problems with the ball.. Your work - wants me to see more ball tricks of yours! Quote
Gerry Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Very cool! Intriguing movement and motion except for the very start and end as noted. But the middle, well, you make it look easy. Nice work! Quote
Zaryin Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Yeah, that middle of that ani is amazing. Nice work. Quote
higginsdj Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 The hand/ball work is very good - a little stiff at a couple of points but I would have liked to have seen more movement in the body/arms/head. Cheers Quote
