Heiner Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I am mainly a modeller, but it seems as if i will have to animate this fella this time. Keep the fingers crossed ... Cheers, Heiner Quote
agep Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Haha! What a cute character. I like him! Please hurry up and animate him, I bet he will look hilarious (in a good way that is) Quote
HomeSlice Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 That is a cute character. Is he for an egg commercial? Quote
KnightHammer Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Looks like an egg version of killer bean Quote
Heiner Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 No, no egg commercial, completley different origin. The animation will follow soon with a bunch of other characters. I need to do a 4 min sales/pitch/sizzle (pick the term you like best) video, which should attract investors for a complete tv series. So i hope for two things: 1: That i am good and fast enough to make the video happen. 2: That there are still some Americans left, which did not put their money in immobiles or risky bank derivates, and have some spare bucks to invest em in such a project.

Heiner Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 Here is a rendered Image, in the style, the customer wants. What do you think? Cheers, Heiner Quote
jirard Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Here is a rendered Image, in the style, the customer wants. What do you think? Cheers, Heiner I like the toon render the best. Nice looking character. Quote
noewjook Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I realy like this character .He has no arms so his hands could be used as fins.It is a character that has to move by flying.Flapping his hands make him to take of. dispite the lack of arms his hands are perfect.He is able to take things , even to play a piano.By flapping his hands he can fly like a bee. At the moment of take of you can make a poseslider for making his hands a little bit bigger during the flight. This is a very cute original character with a great potential. Quote
Kamikaze Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Fits with the toon render so nicely.......love it! Quote
Heiner Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 Here comes another character for the same project! Enjoy, Heiner Quote
StormedFX Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Your cartoon rendering looks really great... cannot wait to see him in action. CHEERS! Quote
Heiner Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 Here it goes, the third character for the project. Slowly i get the screen populated. Aside from that, the project gets bigger then i thought ... maybe i need some help when it comes to animating all these dudes ... Cheers, Heiner Quote
Heiner Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 A fairytale wood, which will act a the background for some of these character to stroll around in. Cheers Heiner Quote
Heiner Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 And here is the enviroment after some post work in Project Dogwaffle and Gertrudis. How do you like it? Cheers Heiner Quote
Kamikaze Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 You are coming along great on your project, nice scene too... Quote
jakerupert Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Very interesting scene and project! Do you use volumetric lights for the light beamsß Which toonrendersettings? And is this for Greman TV? Quote
Heiner Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Volumetric light ... hahaha The lights drove me crazy, so i faked them. Simple geometry with a simple alpha gradient. Worked perfect for me, is much faster than real volumetrics and more easy to handle! in the landscape picture there is no toon shading at all. The las picture has been post processed in PD Pro with Gertrudis. The whole project is about a possible tv series, but the people which initiated this are from the US. But i am also open for projects from Germany off course. Cheers Heiner Quote
Heiner Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 An on goes the show, here is the next character. Now jut two more are missing then i can start to finish and touchup these guys and then, hopefully the audio is ready and its happy animating. Let me know what you think about it Cheers Heiner Quote
itsjustme Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I think it looks great, Heiner. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Quote
Heiner Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks David, yeah, i also have a good feeling, but, however, i am still working on a good rig, and i am not really happy with the solution i have so far. BTW in the project will be more characters like her, meaning, mor characters sharing basic shape. So i am trying to come up with something, which i can easily adopt for the other chars. Cheers Heiner Quote
jirard Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Still looking good Heiner. I like every model that you have posted so far. This stuff makes me want get a better understanding of the toon shader. Quote
Heiner Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Hi folks, i did some refining on the last char, and made a little sheet with details in the works, if you are interested. Cheers Heiner Quote
animas3D Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 This looks really good. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. Quote
Heiner Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 So Folks, here comes Buster! After this char, there is just one more to go. After that, i will have to apply all the changes, the client will come up with. And then do the rigging and smartskinning. I allready did some tests, so i do not expect this to take too long. I will use the TSM 2. I have quite some experience with that, and its a reliable tool. Cheers Heiner Quote
