dude Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 The other day i decided to model a simple character to practice animation on. Heres where im at so far. Next on to the body. Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 haha that guy makes me laugh thats awsome.. kinda reminds me of ET Quote
the_black_mage Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 i though of an ant turned in to a human when i first saw this, gonna add hair? Quote
Zaryin Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 If you haven't added porcelain, do it. IT will smooth out your model considerably. Looks great and shows alot of character. Quote
dude Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 Ok here he is with porcelain i think it looks a lot better. It left a crease in his left eyebrow, i dont know why all the normals are facing the same way. Anyway i think it looks better. Quote
KenH Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Nice work. As for the crease....did you adjust any bias handles in that area. I see you have two splines hooked onto the same spline. Maybe carry one through to the next spline. That might fix it....though there's no crease on the other side. Quote
dude Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 Ok thx i fixed it, i hade to redo the splines though. Quote
dude Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 I finished the body .He looks a bit fat so i'll have to fix that, then ill be on the hands and feet. Quote
dborruso Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Cute character. I like him with a little belly, gives him a humorous look. The porcelain really helped. Nice work. Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Very nice. maybe put some cloths on him. Quote
dude Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 i didnt stick with my plan for hands and feet and skiped over to rigging. and i also added the tie Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 so a tie is more important then hands and feet? lol its coming along nicely Quote
dude Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 OK i finished the hands and feet. Now what do i do . oh yeah i gotta rig him, agian. Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 so hes going to be naked other than the tie looks great Quote
dude Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 alright i re-rigged him, now i gotta do mouth poses. i think he looks good in the nude Quote
Dark_Jedi Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 well it dosnt really qualify for a "he" does it Quote
the_black_mage Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 lol thats hilarious you should post one of these on stills site. Quote
rossk Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Haha, bravo! I don't know what you are planning on doing with your character, but the humour you've displayed so far in this thread points to some good funny animation. Keep up the good work! --Ross Quote
the_black_mage Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 he's useing it to give him self some animation training. Quote
dude Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 I posted the last immage in the still galery. I'm doing good with the lip-poses here is a quick test i did. Lip-posses test Quote
dude Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 I found that that last link took forever too load. So i put it up on Box.net for yall to see. tell me if it loads any better. Boxnet link Quote
kkwaters Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 so hes going to be naked other than the tie looks great So - What's wrong with naked? Why, I try to go naked as often as the cops will let me. : ) Just Kidding around. Your model looks great, and is very expressive. Quote
dude Posted June 29, 2006 Author Posted June 29, 2006 heres another animation test. http://www.box.net/public/vgcd1vdbrz Quote
Admin Rodney Posted June 29, 2006 Admin Posted June 29, 2006 Go Dude! At the rate you are going you'll be making full length feature films by next week. Keep up the momentum. For some reason your model reminds me of the Animation Mentor characters. Different... but similar. Maybe its just the character you've been animating into him. Very nice work. Quote
Duke Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Great work Dude! keep going Id love to see what you end up doing with this guy, I think he has potential. I know this might sound stupid, but could you please explain "Porcelain" I missed that one. how do you go about applying it? Leo Quote
Jeetman Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Dude, The guy looks awesome!!!!!! I really like the lip syncing and expressions for the song LOL. Jeetman Quote
luckbat Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Duke, "porcelain" is a material that re-orients normals to make patches to look smoother. You can find it on your A:M CD. Quote
Zaryin Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I love when he goes high pitched. The character turned out great. Quote
Woloshyniuk Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 so a tie is more important then hands and feet? lol its coming along nicely i actually think it gives him a lot of character without the hands or feet, it sortof matches his build and expressions. I love his face. Cant wait to see sum animations Quote
case Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 well other then that you are my friend i must say what a great model the rig should be easy.i think well keeep us posted Quote
always_a_kid Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Hey man, I love this character. You're doing a great job with it all. I'm kind of curious though, what exactly did he say in the first lip-poses test. Anyway, its hilarious. Good job. Quote
dude Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 he said "I just cant do it captin, I dont have the power" from Ace Vantuera Im working on a full body animation now, it will be done soon. p.s. Ace Vantura is such a funny movie, i love jim carry Quote
always_a_kid Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 LOL, of course Ace Vantura is a funny movie. You'd have to be insane not to think so. Jim Carry is awesome, too. One of my favorite actors. Anyway, I knew I heared that from somewhere. I just couldn't remember. It's been a loooooooooooooooooooong time since I have seen that movie. Well, I can't wait to see you're next animation. Quote
dude Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 its been a while since i posted anything so i decided to do a little scene. i set up and modeled the set all today. and none of it is finished. i still have a bit of work to do. Quote

always_a_kid Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Anyway I'm not torchering thom, just giving him liposuction! LOL. Does Thom really want liposuction? Huh? Huh? Does he? Quote
Jeetman Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Dude! Looking good!!!! Once you add some textures to the contol panels and adjust your lighting a bit more and possibly add a bit more detail, it should look even better! Keep up the good work Jeetman Quote
