thefreshestever Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 it´s the mascot of my favorite club in my hometown where i use to party... i know the owners and they asked me to do some animations of the cat, maybe we´ll even make a cinema-spot with it. it´s not really a paid job, i´m more like getting paid in beverages... so here´s the first demo vid, just a walk- and a runcycle and a short 5sec animation. hope you´ll like it... kittycams.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterFunk Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Looks Great. The animation is very smooth. The only criticism I have is that in the run cycle the back legs seem to move faster than the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jirard Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Nice work! I like the animation and the stylized look of the cat. Keep posting progress on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighop Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Very cool! The only thing I noticed is in the second movie, he was just frozen at the start. Maybe some eye or face movement before the walk cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 2, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 2, 2008 That's a good looking cat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgaylord Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Brilliant! Is this based on personal experience with cats, or have you been watching a lot of re-runs of The Planet's Funniest Animals? I currently have two cats who I know would react quite differently in this situation: One would scrabble frantically while looking ever so embarrassed. The other would simple go over the edge without any struggle and with a very round-eyed look of surprise on her face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatso Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 What's wrong with being paid in beverages? Especially in Germany. Compared with your beer, ours tastes like water that dead animals have been soaked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animus Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Very nice stylized cat. Animating is fluid too. Great clip. Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Nice stylization and personality, and of course the music adds a lot of character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefreshestever Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 thanks guys... i´ll keep posting the progress... it´s my first attempt in toon-render, and i love it, especially because it really renders very fast... bill: yes, it´s experience, i´ve got 3 cats by myself, i guess all of them would behave more or less like this, except the fat one, he wouldn´t even try to make that jump at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yup- If you have cats...everything ends up on the floor... I really like the cars out the window... very Friz Freling-esque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 AND- When you say 'maybe a cinema spot' are you talking about one of those ads you see at the cinema for local businesses? That would be cool! It's digital-projected at a hi-resolution, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefreshestever Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 AND- When you say 'maybe a cinema spot' are you talking about one of those ads you see at the cinema for local businesses? That would be cool! It's digital-projected at a hi-resolution, right? yes... exactly... i don´t know anything about the technical details yet, but i guess it requires a pretty high resolution... but those ads are much cheaper than i thought, it´s only about 100,- euros for a 20-second clip for one whole month... and it will be played every evening. the price is for one room only though, but still much cheaper than i thought...

aen916 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I like it - great model, and you have the cat's attitude down packed! Is there going to be a mouse or canary for him to spar wit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
