Tai Shan Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey all, The rock band Rush is coming out with a new album soon. To show my appreciation -- and to pass the time while waiting -- I've started working on a little fanimation. Right now, I'm at the modelling stage. Here's what I've got so far: Feedback and constructive criticism are welcome. A:M's SSS feature rocks! Btw, I'm sorry if it's inappropriate to post this. a proud donor to Neil Peart's motorcycle gas money, Tai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai Shan Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thanks for the compliments and encouragement, everybody! I'll post more after I'm done rigging Geddy. @arkaos: I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning toward the Fender Jazz Bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dborruso Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 That is awesome. I can't wait to see him rock out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tai Shan Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 For my fellow Rush fans -- and everybody else too -- here's a little animation test: Geddy_with_SSS.mov I'm sorry if it looks like I'm making fun of the Gedster. This is my first attempt at character animation and I know my efforts don't do him justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 That's awesome! And I don't think it's making fun of him at all. 'Sides he did that song with Bob & Doug Mackenzie all those years ago which means he probably has a good sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen916 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 That's great work! Now if someone could just model Bob and Doug McKenzie (What? Doesn't anyopne else remember "Take Off"?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tai Shan Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hey A:M users and Rush fans, I was never content with how my Geddy model came out -- particularly his face. It just didn't seem to do our favorite Canadian bass player justice. So, after being inspired by what I see here on the forums, I got off my duff and pushed myself beyond my limits. Here's an update: Note: Ged's fingers look a little stubby because I'm going for a more Thom/MySims/Mii-like body type. This update was brought to you by the letter "Sssssss" because I love Snakes & Arrows and Subsurface Scattering! Tai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai Shan Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Here's a sneak peek at The Professor: I'm going to take a little break and get some distance, some perspective. Right now, Neil's face looks so off-model to me that I'm ready to quit 3D modelling altogether and take up underwater basketweaving.
