dborruso Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 hehehe. That's a great little animation. Made me laugh. Very cute characters. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Thats great, David! I'm glad you are using the big blue guy again. He is too full of character to leave sitting around on your hard drive. I didn't realise that the 10sec club was functioning again! They have very strict submission requirements don't they? Two questions: What do you use to output to the MPEG1 format required by the 10 sec club? Did you use AO for this animation? Too bad they didn't accept this animation, David. Next time, eh?

pequod Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Great animation, love the incongruous touchy feely actions of the characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time, eh? thanks for the comments people! I don't think the 10 second club ever stopped although I could be wrong this is the first time I've tried it in a few years. The rules a pretty straight forward but the club does seem a bit unorganized to me they are always leaving out peoples animations for some reason. I used studio 9 to make the mpeg1. It came with my video card I think. Yep rendered with AO pretty low quality though only 5 passes but I like the AO look. I do kind of wish it got in just to see if I could get some votes Great animation, love the incongruous touchy feely actions of the characters. Thanks, When listening to the sound track it was hard to hear the "T" in gate and it sounded like "give me the gay key" so I thought it might be funny to make the third guy look a little too friendly(even thought he was saying cut his arms off)....hehe Yeah, I agree great piece!!!! Was this done in A:M? Has that "maya" look to it! Good job Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Thanks Mike I was thinking the lightwave look I dont know how we are getting all this highend rendering stuff Heres the same character and setup but with much better quality 144 passes and 100% sampling I really like this look.[attachmentid=14818] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Isn't this the same character who was in a desert somewhere, ,sex thirsty...? <memory upgrade needed> Whatever happened to that project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modernhorse Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Jeepers that is terriffic animation ! Nice characters and rendering to boot. Yeah, this guy was from "Clothesline".

David, what's up with that? Enquiring minds want to know. ..doug Well when I put it all together it just didn't seem as entertaining as I thought it would be. I showed it to you Doug. Basically I think it needs work to tell the story more clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modernhorse Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah I still have my "rough cut" saved somewhere. I hope you get back to it, cuz I thought it was going really well. I often wonder the same thing though with my unbelievably long project. What if when I get it complete it sucks? And then i just have to put that out of my mind. hehe Anyhow, back to your thread. Cool stuff. ..doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanCBradbury Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Heres the same character and setup but with much better quality 144 passes and 100% sampling I really like this look. don't you think that's a little overkill? I've done a lot of testing with AO and really 20-25% AO quality and 16 passes is all i've ever really needed. That's quite a long time to wait for a render that's only going to be slightly nociable better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypoissant Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I must say that I completely agree with Dan about the overkill settings. I understand that just setting the properties to their maximum values and render during night is easier to do than testing different settings but I don't like the impression it gives that one need those outragous numbers and render times to get that sort of quality. One would normally use 100% sampling for AO only when heavy post-procesing is planed. And I mean heavy. Otherwise, the default setting should do the jub just as well. Nice animation BTW.

Dagooos Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Of coarse its overkill. I didn't mean to imply you had to use high settings like these to get acceptable results. This image was just part of my testing of AO. It did render fast though exactly 2 hrs at 1152x864 The animation was rendered with only 5 passes at 20% sampling because I was in a hurry but 16 passes would have been nice.

jo b. Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 bravo! this is really cool. i love the blue character! and i love the AO combined with this shading! did you use a darksim or an AM-gradient?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
