jamagica Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 Riggin is done!!! hahahahahaha...animating time! Quote
Heath_Naylor Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 That is cool! Maybe the gold could be golder and you could do an animation, but otherwise, NICE! Quote
bentothemax Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 hmm, kinda reminds me of sothing . . . o ya thats it, the pixar light I think he would look better if he were really prestine gold silver and sharp dark grey rubbers, maybe with blue glowing buttons BUT besides that looks great!!! I want to see some animation oout of him . . . plz? Ben Quote
jamagica Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 The gold looks dull because of the reflectivity setting..it relflects a dark color so it looks like a dull gold..I could turn down the reflection part. Animation will be coming soon EDIT: alright, here's the gold reflectivity turned down. the only problem is that it doesn't look so gold Quote
jamagica Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 There we go! Darker gold and higher specularity Quote
bentothemax Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 The gold is probably fine the way it was, but what matters is the lighting, a standard choreography in AM doesnt exactly have the best lighting. Try giving the scene a sun filtering through something so that only parts of the robot are highlighted, but the whole thing can still be scene. That way the gold will be vibrant in areas, but reflective in others. It's kind of hard to explain, ill post an example if you want PS nice job though, i really like the character Quote
jamagica Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 I understand what you mean...thanks! yeah, I don't like A:M's standard setting either, but that's how the world turns. Alright..I got my first animation: the bot....steps...forward. I'm still trying to get the hang of animation, so bare w/ me bot_step.mov Quote
jamagica Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 Alright...I tweaked anticipation so it was projected much more. Pass two posted below bot_step.mov Quote
jamagica Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 alright...I made the whole thing a bit more snappy. I feel that the middle of the action is too linear, I think I'll add some arcs bot_step_snappy.mov Quote
bentothemax Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 nice . . . it really brings across a certain type of emtion from a deadish thing . . . I like it Quote
jamagica Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 deadish? you mean like it doesn't look alive or it's the type of character that looks dead Quote
bentothemax Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 I couldnt find the right word, but i mean robotic . . . the character looks very much alive Quote
rossk Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 That's looking really good, especially for "still trying to get the hang of animation" as you said earlier. Did you make this character for a story or just practice? Looking forward to seeing more, --Ross Quote
jamagica Posted June 27, 2005 Author Posted June 27, 2005 It was originally for practice but now that I realize how much time I spent on it, I'll probably end up using it in a film Quote
hypnomike Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Nice work Jamagica! Youv'e injected life into your robot. I'll be keeping an EYE on your progress.......groan Cheers Mike Quote
