Paul Forwood Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 It's all experimental at the moment, Jos. If I can get one short level up and running I will think about taking it further. As far as publishing goes I will take a closer look if/when this becomes relevant. A viral game for mobile devices would be a good way to go. Sell em cheap and stack em high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ha ha! Very good! I do like a bit of spontanious creative banter. Just getting his old bones oiled and moving. Working on the weighting at the moment. There is no real narrative in there, except what your imagination conjures up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largento Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think that Santa may be up to no good. Seems kinda' paranoid to me. :-) Great job. I really regret having not tried to do a Christmas animation this year, but I've been distracted by other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks for the comments, guys! I've been fighting off a cold and chest infection over the Christmas break and it has made modelling, animating and answering posts a bit difficult. I have been watching though. Improving a little every day so hope to get back to achieving something very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks, Steve. The past two months have been a challenge and I have not done as much as I would have liked but here is a character that I started a few days ago: Modelling__A02__01f.mov Lots to do yet. Sorry about the file size for such a rough WIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted February 8, 2012 Admin Share Posted February 8, 2012 Very nice Paul! I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen Charlie Chaplin (or Buster Keaton) show up here in animated form before this. It doesn't surprise me to see that you're the one to do it! Here's hoping the challenges of the past couple months are well behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I had started a model of Charlie Chaplin's head years ago but it got shelved and now sits somewhere on the hard drive of an old, retired, pc. It was seeing the Buster Keaton sequences in "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore" that made me want to attempt to model and animate Charlie Chaplin. He will be a great character study and I'm sure that I will learn a lot in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
