number Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Here is my contribution. I used an action for the hop cycle, but then couldn't figure out a way to go to pose in the choreography. I ended up using another action to turn the character around. Not ideal, but seemed to work. Feedback appreciated.

mouseman Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The action for turning around seemed to work quite well. I really like the model, and the moon-like low gravity motion. A couple of very minor suggestions or "quickie" ideas to consider: In the walk cycle, when his left foot is about to hit the ground, it is slightly ... jumpy? I mean just before it hits the ground. That's the one place that seems to jar me slightly out of the illusion of low gravity. Sound! I have 2 suggestions for sound. One is for when his feet hit the ground, maybe a brief scrunching in dirt kind of sound. The second is breathing, as if he's breathing through a ventilator, almost Darth Vader type breathing, but slower and with a bit of pause between breaths. A cute and easy little gag is maybe at the end have him look at his watch, maybe right after the toe taps. That might mean adding a watch onto the model. You've got a really nice entry!

number Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks for the feedback, Chris. I adjusted the hop action. I found that I had some hold keys on the hips that would pop out the left leg. Should be a little smoother. Thanks for pointing out. Now that I have a little more time, I've added the watch animation . Need to add to the model. Great ideas about the sounds. I'll try to record some effects this weekend. Latest WIP attached.

number Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Added some much needed sound effects. Again, thanks for folks reviewing and commenting. Calling this one done-done. Lots of fun. The tone is a Quindar tone as used in Apollo (so says the wiki). Movie_Final_Sound.mov Getting the zip together now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouseman Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Wow! It looks WONDERFUL! You have a winner! (Though it wasn't a contest, per se.) I'm a little surprised how much the sounds added to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted October 28, 2010 Admin Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm glad I waited to post my comments until after you added the sound. Perfecto. Very nice. I really enjoyed seeing your wireframe also. Thanks for that. You've got a really nice economy of splines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
