arkaos Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 This is a CLOSE up of my dragon blinking his eye. This is my first shot at a dynamic eye. I thought I did pretty good for a newbie. What do y'all think? Dragon_Blink.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Definitely pretty good (even for an oldbie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Looks great, Mark. It has a nice, organic feel to it. Nos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkaos Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Thanks Nancy and Nos. I'm glad u enjoyed it. I just got a new graphic software Paint Shop Pro to create my decals in. Not as expensive as Adobe, but has all the same features and effects. Most importantly, I needed something to create *.tga files in with alpha channels. Only so much MS Paint can do. More coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinthell Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Fyi, when you blink, your lower lid hardly moves. It mostly just twitches. There's actually no muscle in the lower lid to raise it. The upper lid should do most of the blinking. Otherwise, looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkaos Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 FYI, It's not a human. The lower lid can do whatever it wants in MY WORLD. But thanks, that advise will help me out on some of my other models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I like the pupil dilation, nice detail. As far as paint programs that can create TGA's with an alpha, GIMP is a fantastic free paint program. Incidentally, I have a Script-Fu for GIMP that will generate an iris (including one with lizard-like pupils) here...the August 10, 2005 entry.

williamgaylord Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Nice work! About the dialation, though, when the eyelid closes, the pupil would dialate. Then when the lid opens the pupil will be wide, then narrow with more light entering the eye. It's working the other way 'round in your animation. Overall, great work!

itsjustme Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 LOL, I didn't notice it was backwards. Still, at least you thought about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
