Simon Edmondson Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 http://www.awn.com/news/roommate-wanted-short-brings-claymation-aesthetic-cg Degree students at The Animation Workshop in Denmark produced a terrific short entitled "Room mate wnted, dead or alive". The above is a link to an article on how they did it. Perhaps of interest? simon Quote
NancyGormezano Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) very definitely of interest to me!...coincidently, I was just about to resume experimenting with making "clay" figurines today based on some doodling I did with matcap and bitmap plus material back in 2013 here's link to post of using matcap shader for clay and using bitmap plus and another example bitmap plus here to simulate clay (instead of using dark tree materials as markw was trying to use) bitmap plus is probably easier, more reliable, and versatile (in different lighting situations). Matcap shader can be quite beautiful, but is trickier to match lighting situation.. Edited June 16, 2015 by NancyGormezano Quote
pixelplucker Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Dark tree has a nice clay texture under the DTrep/z_miscellaneous folder. Fun animation they did. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Yes looks nice. BUT, for some reason, I believe it was reported that the dark tree materials are not still available to everyone...maybe in newer versions A:M? or on the Mac? Or are not free? I also suspect the dark tree materials may take longer to render, but since I haven't tried those particular materials, I wouldn't know. (EDIT: just tried basic clay & clay modeled - very nice - and probably don't take excessive amount of time to render. Seems quick. I had access to the materials because I worked on TWO. Not sure if everyone has access for free) Edited June 17, 2015 by NancyGormezano Quote
pixelplucker Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I think you can still download them from darksim.com I did that test render in latest AM. I did have some crashes on a few versions ago but thing this ones working. Quote
markw Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Sadly Nancy is right about DarkTree materials, they've not worked for us Mac people for some time now Quote
