AdamH Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Hey there all, I just started using A:M back in June at the college I go to and I've love it. This was the first model (first anything really) I attempted in 3D. It's not 100% accurate to the real thing but close enough for my liking and first model attempt. As the topic name states its the Liger Zero from the anime Zoids. http://www.cross-firemedia.com/hash/liger0.jpg (toon, no shadows) http://www.cross-firemedia.com/hash/liger0_shwire.jpg (shaded/wireframe) http://www.cross-firemedia.com/hash/liger0_wire.jpg (wireframe) -Adam Quote
patrick_j_clarke Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 cool! I wanna wind him up and GO!! Nice modeling! - pjc Quote
heyvern Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I like it. As long as its name isn't "Larry". http://www.vernsworld.com/enchanted_forest/liger.jpg -vern Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Whoa, that's so cool, I want one of those! Think I can get it in the local petstore? Now make it move! Cheers, Joakim Quote
tarmer Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I like him. I've thought about modeling Zero also. Keep up the good work! Toby Quote
thejobe Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 omg i love that show! I forgot what it was called after watching it on cartoon network and was never able to get it on dvd are you going to put all the addons on him too like the pazor unit (sorry im an anime freak) Quote
AdamH Posted August 16, 2006 Author Posted August 16, 2006 That is most impressive. Is he rigged? Fully, as far as I know how. There's a total of 48 bones, 6 poses, and 1 run cycle thus far. Now make it move! See Spot Run. omg i love that show! I forgot what it was called after watching it on cartoon network and was never able to get it on dvd are you going to put all the addons on him too like the pazor unit (sorry im an anime freak) I was considering it, maybe some day. If I could get the armors for my toy model of the Liger I would, seeing as I modeled it in A:M from that it would help me keep the proportions better at least. -Adam www.cross-firemedia.com Quote
nimblepix Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Wow! Great modeling and animation. I love the mechanical feeling to the run. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted August 16, 2006 Admin Posted August 16, 2006 Fully, as far as I know how. There's a total of 48 bones, 6 poses, and 1 run cycle thus far. See Spot Run. Oh yeah. Nice! Quote
John Bigboote Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 DIG! I like the motion blur! But- for some reason, when I hear the term 'liger' I think of Napolean Dynamite... Quote
Zaryin Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 That is pretty cool. I also love the run ani. Nice! Quote
Duke Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Nice work Dude! I like it, very nicely animated. Leo Quote
Eric2575 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Ok, let me get this straight - you just started using AM about a month and a half ago, did a really nice model on your first attempt, rigged it perfectly to do a run cycle on your first attempt, and even got some nice motion blur going at the same time without ever having done anything else in 3D? If I am understanding this correctly...well, if this is true, then I'm at a loss for words, truely. My only question is: How is this possible? Quote

If I am understanding this correctly...well, if this is true, then I'm at a loss for words, truely. My only question is: How is this possible? That's pretty much it. I had a little help learning the interface of A:M, how to add bones, and how to go about making poses/actions from one of my teachers, but yeah, I haven't really made anything in 3D except for a regular playing card in Blender with the assistence of a class mate. The run cycle of it though was done using rotocopes of a cat running. The motion blur part was just an option when rendering. It took a little bit of experimenting with the multi-pass and motion blur to get it just right. But trust me; this certainly didn't through with out its troubles. I think this just goes to show how easy A:M is to learn. -Adam www.cross-firemedia.com Quote
Eric2575 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 So you are taking a class at a college (which college?) that uses Animation Master in it's curriculum? What's the class called and what other programs if any are used in the class. Were you required to purchase AM for this class or was it provided by the instructor? Forgive me for my skepticism, but we've recently had some hoaxters post here that claimed to have made works in AM when it was just plagiarism. If everything is on the up and up, my hat's off to your instructor and yourself. Nicely done. Eric Quote

I think that's just sad when someone has to steal someone else's works. Anyway, I go to Lethbridge Community College (soon to be re-named Lethbridge College), Alberta, Canada. The program I'm taking is called Multimedia Production, which they are actually changing the curriculum starting in September for the new batch of students (it should be up on the site by now). The current curriculum format that I'm taking is supposed to train us to be multimedia specialists. I haven't ever been shown exactly what was intended to be taught to us about A:M, but we use it in our animation class along with mostly Flash and Adobe After Effects. We weren't required to buy A:M (or any software for that matter) since the labs we work in have fully furnished computers with all the Adobe/Macromedia software along with other things like A:M. However I am going to purchase A:M when I can actually afford it. If you just wanna know more about me and see some of my other random work (nothing else 3D related yet) I have an online portfolio. And thank-you everyone for the responses! -Adam www.cross-firemedia.com Quote
gschumsky Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Deb: What's a liger? Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic. My daughter's softball team was the Ligers... Back on topic, nice work, and the animation ain't too shabby either. Quote
racreel Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 DIG! I like the motion blur! But- for some reason, when I hear the term 'liger' I think of Napolean Dynamite... It's pretty much my favorite mech. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... built for its skills in magic. Quote

I have my fair share of ZOIDS and transformers Quote
