the_black_mage Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 This is my "neww" character, I've seen other peoples original characters and i thought i should make my own. it took me a while to come up with him, but basically i just started think things up. things like "arms? how about 4...no that wont work...just 2...nah forget the arms." then things like "if hes not gonna talk why give him a mouth?". i drew him and gave have him i hole in his head then i figured hey, hes a key chain. then i modeled him the next day. Once I'm done smart skinning him I'll be make a scene with him, I'm sure your all like it. I've also been having fun with his expressions, since he has no mouth i have to work with only the eyes. i have a whole sheet full of eye expressions I'll post them later. Quote
Luuk Steitner Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 That is a good looking character. Are you planning to make an animation of it? I would like to see that! Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Yup, I'm actually doing my first actual story boarding. but that wont be for a while when i start on making that, i'm gonna make a still first for school related purposes... I'll post another image later of him a little more smoother looking Quote
dude Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Dude.. thats really freaky, I was thinking the exact same thing the other day. I thought that every one seemed to have thier own character, and i wanted to model one to represent me. So I modeled this guy: I drew him in my science notebook, then moodleled him. hehe. Dont want to steal your thread, so I think I'll make a new Wip thread for him. anyway, I like your character. But somthing about the eyes bug me. I think the metal ring, would look better if it was a spiral, so you kan put things on it. But other than that, it looks great. -dude Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Actually it is, you just can't tell from the image. And yup, same thoughts every one has there own character so i had to have mine. his eyes aren't intended to be happy nor sad, it more like a.....um.....nonchalant look(couldn't think of the word lol). i like your character, weird how we both thought of the same kind of look, maybe we could make a video of them both together lol. hey dark i think i might top you number of post soon lol .

the_black_mage Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 New render that much smoother, the other render didn't have porcelain. also hes completely done smart skinning , you'll see some new poses and expressions soon. and i'll start posting info on the still i'm working on. first question does anyone know a good wat to model key? i was planing on using lots of boolean cutters to get the keys shape.

the_black_mage Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 well heres the new image, this is an example of the possible video that me an dude are planning. Quote
KenH Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Real nice characters in this thread. Time for some animation methinks. Quote
johnl3d Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 not sure what kind of key you were planning but I did a quick google and got a picture ,made a path in PS around it, exported as ai file, used ai wizard in AM and got a key...actual two one with and one with out bevel project file includes picture ai file and project file keys.zip easier the boolean Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 9, 2007 Author Posted January 9, 2007 can use these but the keys i ment are like normal very day keys, and when i try to boolean i make the keys shape then extrude it to get the width and extrude again to get the rest of the cube, bat after that i render and the cube is all cut up! EDIT: the prj file doesn't work for my version, i have v12+. Quote
johnl3d Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 get me a scan of a key or two and I'll make you an ia file the one i included should work even in 12 new model right click wizard ia import ia file select stuff in box you now have a key model Quote
the_black_mage Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 yes but not now, i'm working on a logo animation for my national history day video, which of course includes neww... Quote
