KenH Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I've finally got back to making characters in AM! Here's one I'm using for a client. They wanted a simple flash look and I used the toon render to achieve this. Going to start animating him now. Thanks to Mark S for the rig! Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 10, 2009 Hash Fellow Posted September 10, 2009 He looks good! render him at 12fps for a Flashy look to the animation. Quote
KenH Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks. Good idea Rob...it'll cut down on file size too. Quote
mtpeak2 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Nice to see you back using A:M, Ken. Cool character. One thing that looks odd is the are no cuffs, the jacket sleeves and the pant legs just blend in. Quote
steve392 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Nice charector Ken ,but yea I agree with Mark he needs some white socks or something Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 10, 2009 Hash Fellow Posted September 10, 2009 Cool character. One thing that looks odd is the are no cuffs, the jacket sleeves and the pant legs just blend in. He's one of those Quote
HomeSlice Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Great looking character Ken. It does have that clean Flash look. Quote
KenH Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 Yeah, I was going for the painted look. But I added cuffs and I think it makes him look more normal. I'll leave them. Socks aren't essential and wouldn't be seen in this pose anyway. Thanks for the comments. Quote
mtpeak2 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 That actually helped alot, though I was thinking more of the diameter of the sleeve compared to the wrist. But, since you were going for the painted look, that doesn't matter. Quote
mtpeak2 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 BTW Ken, how did the installation go, compared to other rigs? Quote
John Bigboote Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Nice clean character, Ken. I would expect NO LESS from the guy who did the Hash 'splash-page'. He should animate well. I think the electric-blue shirt is over burned, could be my monitor needs another kick... Quote
steve392 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Yea he doese look better ,real natty now Quote
KenH Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 Installation was a breeze Mark. Auto assign bones almost did all the weighting which I've never had it done before. I did have a problem with the leg bones going back in the z axis at some stage, but I just moved them back and it seems alright now. Yeah John, I'm not sure about the shirt colour, but it'll do for now. I'll let the client complain first. Thanks Steve. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 I like him! I'd launder my money with him anyday. Quote
KenH Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks! Well he's supposed to be starting out in business but if it makes you feel better to make him a criminal banker dude, knock yourself out Nancy. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Well he's supposed to be starting out in business He looks friendly & trustworthy enough. Of course, that's just how Bernie Madoff got away with swindling best friends, family and all those charities for orphans. Seriously - he's a good character and he reads as very likeable. Quote
KenH Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 I'll do a Bernie Madoff if I ever get any electric chair clients. I left out an "out" in my last post. As it made the message different, I changed it. Quote
kwhitaker Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 nice character, I really like your toon setting Quote
