frosteternal Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Well, it has been a busy quarter, and it was spent mostly building a scale model - no, not a digital one, a real one - of a sort of military interplanetary outpost. In order to utilize the footage shot of the model, I built a digital landscape (the group responsible for the model landscape utterly failed at building it) in a nameless Other Software package that specializes in landscapes. However, just a pretty picture won't do, so I brought a robot model I built in yet another Other Software package into A:M, rigged it, re-textured it, and now it looks ten times better than the original ever did. The animating & rigging is going to be a bit of a challenge, since the thing is designed to walk or attack with any appendage. I'll post my test shots here over the next few weeks. =) robotTest.mov Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 31, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted August 31, 2010 Cool! That looks like what you get after three robots collide and aren't sure how to put themselves back together. Quote
John Bigboote Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Fun! That's how a robot makes his way home from the bar after too many 10W-40-tini's! Quote
thefreshestever Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 cool robot.. funny and scary at the same time! Quote
pixelplucker Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Very cool robot! LOL @ 10W-40 tinis hehe Quote
HomeSlice Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 That is a very cool robot. Definitely not cliche. I was just wondering how you were doing. Glad to see you are still at it Quote
frosteternal Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Thanks for all the comments, WD40tini LOL =) Chugging along here, rendered out a low-res of the work so far, with compositing, proper shading etc. Working on the next scene now... lowres.mov Quote
frosteternal Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Okay, bedtime! Here's the so-far: lowres.mov Quote
frosteternal Posted September 13, 2010 Author Posted September 13, 2010 Okay, done with most of the project, just fine-tuning here and there. =) Yay. lowres.mov Quote
thefreshestever Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 very cool mood, digging the style the radiowaves could use some blur or so, they look a bit strange... Quote
tbenefi33 Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I like the robot and the laser fire keep it coming. Quote
frosteternal Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 These are the "breakdowns" showing how the film was generally accomplished (required for our class) Great fun, kind of a behind-the-scenes montage. breakDowns.mov Quote
