agep Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks. I've been thinking about doing some tests with motion tracking recently. I was thinking about trying out SynthEyes. I never heard of PF Hoe. In your opinion, which do you think is better?PFHoe is really great, simple to use and very cheap (£49). Compared to SynthEyes it does the job pretty well, however since it is so simple you don't have all the settings and tweaking. All in all, I recommend it, and the price definitively makes its a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masna Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I just checked out the PFHoe website, but it only has the cost in Euros. Is it not available in America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralfaz Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 As always, your modelling and texturing is excellent Stian. That whole test scene reminded me of the TV show Dinosaurs from a while back. "Not the mama!" It would be pretty funny to see these two raptors standing around the water cooler having a conversation about their weekend. And what is kind of bizarre is that I am watching Jurassic Park on TV as I type this. Right now the T-Rex is trying to chew his way into the car holding the two kids. Oops, there goes one of the tires! Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agep Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I just checked out the PFHoe website, but it only has the cost in Euros. Is it not available in America?Its download software, so I see no reason to it not to be available Here is a new render. I've tweaked the walk cycle some more. I might be able to tweak it even more, but then my animation skills (or lack of skills) hits the dead end. My main concern right now is the transition between the walk cycle and the growling action, not sure how to do it (I used blend) velociraptor.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largento Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Bravo! Wow, that is very cool, Stian! (As if there was the chance anything you did wouldn't be!) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agep Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi guys! Here is the the final clip. There is still a problem with the walk -> growling transition, but I have spent to much time trying to figure it out, but no luck. I'll try to add some sound to the clip later today, since Pinnacle somehow wouldn't let me play of any sound on my laptop and therefor made it hard to edit. Let me know what you think Best regards Stian velociraptor.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtaz Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Stian ... very nice as always and always and always ... the texture is amazing and your setup whit PFhoe is perfect. I acquired PFhoe too ( 2 months ago ) but I can't reach this result yet. Isn´t velociraptor bigger ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agep Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks! A tip I recently learned about PFHoe to get the best result ,is to delete ALL the bad trackers (containing yellow and red. Some yellow is acceptable though). About the size of the dino, this is from Wikipedia: Velociraptor was a mid-sized dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 2.07 m (6.8 ft) long, 0.5 m (1.6 ft) high at the hip, and weighing up to 15 kg (33 lb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ll try it ... then the velociraptor is a small "cute" dino ... living and learning ... I thought it measure more than 1.5 meters tall ... Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchur Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Maybe they are correct, but for me who watch Jurassic Park etc. they are looking quite small... *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The Wikipedia article touches on this: "Velociraptor (commonly shortened to 'raptor') is one of the dinosaur genera most familiar to the general public due to its prominent role in the Jurassic Park motion picture series, although in the films it was shown much larger than it was in reality and without feathers as well as having other anatomical inaccuracies." It says that real velociraptors were turkey-sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
