animated hair images =

[johnl3d]

hbee.mov

 

 

Made a simple bee model and rendered it with alpha channel and a bit too much motion blur, as a series of tgas, as the bee followed a simple path

 

Used images for hair material on small model and got what you see above

 

Wing movement with simple expression on each wing bone

 

I'll post the project after I try a few more things

habee.mov

 

Made the flight slightly longer and made a pause in the middle and eliminated motion blur

at.mov

 

 

I generates a set of tgas to use as sprites

 

sbee.zip

 

Then brought the tga sequence into another simple project for testing

 

spritebee.zip

 

 

So using a series of tga file used to animate hair and for sprites is this simple

This also shows a simple expression to generate the wing movement without an action

lol those be must be pretty flexible to make it out of that small hole... is this for any specific purpose?

The first one gave me motion sickness

The second one was slowed down and I liked to see the movement

The third was just great I really enjoyed it.

 

fun stuff as usual old man

The purpose was to try a few ideas . I saw a cartoon bee ad so used that as the premise. I should have had a hive for the last one and some flowers for the hair version but I usually am just trying things out so I don't really finish before posting.
