jfirestine Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I know this one is not perfect. I was bored. Input is always appreciated. Thanks, goober_splat2.mov Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 16, 2007 Hash Fellow Posted July 16, 2007 The overlapping action on impact works well. Who tossed him in the air? Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 His path seems awefully direct. Either the thrower is really really strong and amazingly accurate, or someone's bending the laws of physics Beside that it looks very nice! Quote
Ganthofer Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Looks good. The straight path is a little distracting (maybe it needs just a little arc to it IMHO), but I think the Lamp post needs to flex a little bit on impact. Just my 2 cents Glenn Quote
CreativeAustinYankee Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 He's moving too slowly. At the speed he's traveling, he wouldn't even reach the light. Keep at it. Steve P. Quote
3DArtZ Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I think that for what this excecise is, it works really well. The straight path comments and flight speed arent really necessary or helpful in this case, but you have to expect to get that stuff. The impact and how he reacted was the meat and potatoes here.... But for what its worth, it looks to me like he's one of them superhero's who don't know how to fly yet:) Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
jfirestine Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks for the comments! In the process of animating it, I realized that an arc path would look better, I just ran out of time. I will go back and try to fix it. Also, I wanted to show him hit the ground, but did not have enough time. I'm just trying to animate simple actions. I set a time limit and then work like crazy. Once the time is up, I hit render. I had 45 minutes for this exercise. I will get back to it to refine the motion soon. Thanks again, your input is greatly appreciated. Edit: I added some arc to his trajectory. goober_splat_final_5.mov Quote
3DArtZ Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Looks even better now! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
phatso Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Yep. You just know instinctively when you get that "yeah, that's the way it should look" feeling. (I think it was Renoir, the painter, who was asked how he knew when he got a girl's cheek right. He replied, "When I get the urge to pinch.") Now you need to add lamppost flexing. And then, the actor should have arms and legs flailing when flying, and bounce off the pole a little, and realize he's falling and wrap arms and legs around it. I know, nitpick nitpick nitpick. But yer gonna have a really nice animation when yer done. God is in the details. Quote
Zaryin Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I think it looks great, but it looks like he should be moving a little quicker to me. Quote
