Avi Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I finished rigging the main model so I did an animation test: http://www.avituchman.com/stuff/animation/test_6.mov That's the url, if you have any constructive critisem then please tell me it. Also if you could tell me how to execute it then tell me that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckbat Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'd recommend adding a few additional spline rings with fan bones to smooth out the bending. At the moment, it's looking a bit like a crumpled garden hose. Easy to fix, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 How cute! I love it - I remember the poster - so I'm glad to see you're continuing with this project. He looks like he's preparing to write something after jumping into position. So far only thing I would say is possibly tone the blue down - it looks like it might be the color RGB=0,0,256 - add some values to the red & green components - like 10 or more maybe? I'm forever using colors that have 0 values in 1 or more components - so I'm trying to get out of that habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avi Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Thanks guys, as for the crayon looking like a garden hose, I don't know about that, but I like how he squashs. Although I was curious if you guys could read his emotion (sad) which is what the walk was, a sad walk, well that's what I was trying to achive. Also what's a fan bone? Anyhow thanks again. (Nancy - I'm accually redoing the poster cause I fixed up some models it'll look mostly the same, but, you'll see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckbat Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Fan bones are intermediate bones that can help to blend between two hinged bones. They're often used on shoulders and hips. Here's an example using an elbow: http://free.hostdepartment.com/s/sonofpat/Elbows.html See also CP Weights, which might be better suited for your crayon: http://www.hash.com/am2004/Modeling/CP%20Weights/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakchas Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 a little more smartskinning... but I like the concept so far... is it trying to write... or draw with it's own head? that's what it looks like it's about to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Avi - I like how he squashes too - I thought the irregularity gave him character. But I did not read him as sad.. the hop was too energetic - I would more imagine a sluggish side to side dragging movement, where one could almost make out "feet pods" on the bottom part of the crayon (not additional appendages) - as in how a "cereal box" would walk - (a picture would be better).
