Xtaz Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Hi friends ... I decided to participate in the 11second contest in this month... probably I'll use the Sam as main character, and the secondary character will be a dog. I modeled/textured the dog this morning and here is the result. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted March 3, 2009 Admin Posted March 3, 2009 Very cute! You are off to a good start already. Quote
Fuchur Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Very cute! You are off to a good start already. Well done.. I like him, and he is quite spline-efficient... *Fuchur* Quote
jakerupert Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Very funny proportions. ! Cute I love him! Quote
Xtaz Posted March 3, 2009 Author Posted March 3, 2009 thank you very much fellows... I concepted and designed him in 1 hour what kind of rig do you sugest to him ??? rig isn´t my strongest side in A:M Quote
itsjustme Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 thank you very much fellows... I concepted and designed him in 1 hour what kind of rig do you sugest to him ??? rig isn´t my strongest side in A:M You could use TSM or the Quad Squetch Rig...I could send you a link to the latest Quad Squetch Rig (I would also use the toe add-ons for this guy) if you go that route (I plan to post it when I get the next biped rig finished). Quote
Dagooos Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Awesome dog! Wish I could whip something like that up in a couple hours. Quote
Xtaz Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 You could use TSM or the Quad Squetch Rig...I could send you a link to the latest Quad Squetch Rig (I would also use the toe add-ons for this guy) if you go that route (I plan to post it when I get the next biped rig finished). thanks for your help David.... I'll use Squetch Rig... which files should I download? What is toe add-on? Quote
itsjustme Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 thanks for your help David.... I'll use Squetch Rig... which files should I download? What is toe add-on? I sent you an e-mail with the link. The toe add-ons are included in the Zip file...they are like the toes on the Hippogyraf, just a single bone setup for each toe. If you have any questions, shoot me an e-mail or post on the forum.

Xtaz Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 I sent you an e-mail with the link. David ... my server ( web and e-mail ) is down for while ... can you send the files again to this e-mail..... xtaz @ live . com thanks Quote
Xtaz Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Waiting to rig the dog I started to work in the lip sync (Sam) 1st test lipsync_test1_1.mov Quote
itsjustme Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I sent you an e-mail with the link.

John Bigboote Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Cool! I did not know the Squetch handled quadrupeds! That 11 second club is really gaining momentum... up to 180 entries last month. What would really be cool would be to have some well modeled and rigged (body and face) generic A:M characters up there available for download to get more A:M entries into the mix...maybe even help sell A:M more amongst established animators.

itsjustme Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Cool! I did not know the Squetch handled quadrupeds! The Hippogyraf from TWO had the Quad Squetch Rig installed...that was the character used to develop it. It has a lot of tweaks added since then, but there are a few things that I still want to work on in the Quad Rig when I can get the time...that's one of the things I'm going to tackle once I get done with the next biped rig release.

Gerry Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Xtaz, that's great lipsynch. I do see the tongue come through the bottom teeth at one point, but I know this is just a first draft. Very nice! Quote
Xtaz Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks Agep, kelley and gerry .... I noticed and fixed the problem with the tongue ... David, I started with the squetch rig... please check the finished action ( poseable )... Quote
itsjustme Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks Agep, kelley and gerry .... I noticed and fixed the problem with the tongue ... David, I started with the squetch rig... please check the finished action ( poseable )... There are a couple of problems with the legs...and I think I should change out the neck controls for your dog so that it's more like the biped version. If you send me your model I'll make the adjustments late tonight and shoot you a link to the adjusted version, Marcos. Quote
Xtaz Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 I received the dog posed by David ( thank you very much )... I'm working on its cp weight.. I worked in the Sam lipsync in this weekend.. here is the beta 2... comments are welcome sam_dialog_2_1.mov Quote
thefreshestever Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 looking very good so far.... only the lip-movement of the first few frames right before he starts talking seems a bit too slow... i like your dog, very cute and funny... good luck. Quote
John Bigboote Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Looking good Xtaz... I'd like to see a little more anticipation to the word 'your' when he says "your gonna stay here..." perhaps his lips purse, like the 'W' phoneme, before he says 'your'...in anticipation. THANKS for trusting US with your CnC's... I know you can get CnC's from the 11sec crowd... but we'll steer you straight! Can't wait to see more progress! Quote
steve392 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Very nice face movement ,it looks good to me Quote
Dagooos Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Did you get the dog rigged up? I'm itching to see that guy animated. Quote
nino banano Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hi xtaz...nice dog model...good luck in the contest... Quote
