flashawd Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Hey everyone - this is my first shot at modelling a character with an outward mouth/jaw (animal) the other 4 characters I have done have flat faces, so I decided to give it a try. I asked my 3 year old what I should make and he said a rat.. when it was finished, he said it was "bad - make a new one", so I have a 3 years old opinion so far I am more interested in the modelling end of 3D animation, but I also put him in a short 20 second animation since my animation skills could use some work too. I put the character up on my site - he is the 5th one over on the top - pic of the rat. Any suggestions to make future projects better would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Eric 3D Character Animation Website Quote
johnl3d Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Nice Rat and the other characters, also nice web site. Quote
Sacman Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Awesome website and I love the rat!!! Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 18, 2007 Hash Fellow Posted September 18, 2007 That looks quite promising! The hair looks better arranged in the turn around than in the walk clip. Is the grooming different? Quote
flashawd Posted September 18, 2007 Author Posted September 18, 2007 Hi - thanks for the compliments. Robcat - that was kinda odd - I combed the hair down from the profile view just like I did from the front and still had the same look w/ the hair sticking out - I may go back in there and give it another try. He currently has an unkept scruffy rat look Thanks - Eric Quote
Zaryin Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Looks good to me. Have to tried any of the hair shaders yet? How long is it taking t orender right now? Quote
Dhar Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Hey, hey, hey...Remy makes it to A:M A far cry from the gum stick figure You've come a long way - nice work. I want a web site like yours. How do I get one? Quote
flashawd Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 Zaryin - hadn't tried any hair shaders - it surprising only took about 10 hours to render - compared to the Teddy Bare one that took about 150 hours - not sure why that took so long - same computer. Thanks Dhar - yes that first gumstick character is looking pretty weak, he was the first char and project though, so we'll cut him some slack. The site took too long to make and is a complex mess of loading and unloading flash movies... but the finished product turned out pretty good. Thanks - E Quote
