flashawd Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Hi - just wanted to thank everyone who answered my numerous questions while working on this project. I finished the lotion girl to the best she is going to be... she's not Joe Williamsen's Hunter, I've got quite a way to go until I am anywhere near there Anyway, the client wanted the "Bratz Doll" look. Here is a link to the animation on her website and a couple images below. Not real happy with the lip sync, I have some practicing to do with that as well, but the project was taking too long and the client was happy so moving on. Have a great weekend, and thanks again for all your quick forum responses - Eric Animation: http://www.discountindoortanninglotions.com Quote
jon Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 a good spokesmodel model, but shouldn't she be more orange? ' ' ) -jon Quote
phatso Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Atchully, you'd get a fabulous improvement if you added a nice yellow-white light to warm things up. Better than any modification you could make to the model. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 13, 2007 Hash Fellow Posted July 13, 2007 congratulations on the gig! You're now a professional character animator. Quote
flashawd Posted July 14, 2007 Author Posted July 14, 2007 Phatso - I agree and like the idea - not real experienced with lighting, what kind of light and where would you suggest I put or angle it? Thanks Robert, but calling myself a "professional character animator" might be pushing it a bit. Have a great weekend - Eric Quote

That all it takes to be a professional, save all your contract, receipt and so forth to prove that you got paid for it. I got hit by a truck and I had to prove that my injuries effected my work, until I got better. You never know what life has in store for you, but save your contract and file them away. Start establishing your credential, and get used to being called a professional, not everyone can do what you do, and a small percentage of people with your skills are out there I might add. Quote
flashawd Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Ruscular - thank you very much - sorry to hear you got hit by a truck, I hope you have recovered. I'll take your advice and keep everything well documented and filed away. I actually just picked up another job, so from now on if anyone asks I can say I'm a "Professional Character Animator" ;-) Quote
phatso Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I think the default light is pretty much omnidirectional, and it shows up in shaded mode so you can move it around and judge the effect in real time. I'd start with one overhead and in front of the model (toward the camera). Might I also suggest that you play with the surface properties of the dress so it looks less like she's been encased in chewing gum. Quote
flashawd Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks Phatso - I'll try your light solution, and I'll work on her Bubblicious dress. ;-) Quote
