the_black_mage Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 i though of an ant turned in to a human when i first saw this, gonna add hair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted June 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted June 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Ok thx i fixed it, i hade to redo the splines though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dborruso Posted June 25, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Rodney Posted June 29, 2006 Admin Share 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.

luckbat Posted June 29, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I love when he goes high pitched. The character turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woloshyniuk Posted July 1, 2006 Share 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.

dude Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always_a_kid Posted July 8, 2006 Share 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.

Jeetman Posted August 4, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
