Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm afraid it's all off now. None of the models I saved (33 of them) saved more than two the smartskin keys, so all of mouth shaping is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralfaz Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 That is too bad Robert. Your model was coming along really well. Any idea what may have happened to cause the problem with the smartskin keys? Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted November 30, 2009 well, I've found one version that seems to have everything intact but the smile keys. I actually have bones moving the lips around but I was using SS to fine tune the results of the CP weighting. I need to get on with the body so I'll just do without smiles for now. I don't know why the last few versions went bad. It's like several of the CPS that had keys on them lost all knowledge that they were involved in SS and just stayed stuck in space while other parts of the mesh moved around them. This didn't become apparent until i had reason to restart A:M and actually reload a model instead of just continuing on in the same session after a save.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted November 30, 2009 9 hours to go and only the first pose done I like the thinner stem. But this may not be the time to start finessing details! I thought the thin looked too flimsy, but it wouldn't be hard to go back even after I animate.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted November 30, 2009 This is a bare notion of the performance of the spine. The arms are only barely there yet.

NancyGormezano Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The arms are only barely there yet. Is the butterfly flapping too distracting? Butterfly is not distracting - it looks like it will be someone for man-eating plant to relate to. I like the arm/hand (right one in particular). I think the ending head down pose is too similar to the starting head down, maybe have it end higher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeSlice Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I don't think the butterfly is distracting. It is like this innocent happy being that is suddenly confronted by the dismally depressed plant in a "cocoon of horror". Can't wait to see how you work the can of whipped cream in!

Animus Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think that people that know like us that it is an eating plant story don't get distracted, but people watching it for the first time will think it's the the butterfly talking, for a few seconds before they realize what's happening.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted December 1, 2009 Turns out there were only a few spots where you could see his mouth wasn't moving so I sorta got by with minimal lip synch. "a coCOOOONN of horror!" I didn't get my Hi-larious punchline in so that may just have to be an A:M forum exclusive some day. Here it is.

I was wondering... thanks for cluing me in. That little bit of texturing really adds a lot to the sequence. All you '11 Seconders' are doing great things. Keep it up!
