Ross Smith Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 This is a little short I made to test my new character's rig and (few) face poses. He will become much more elaborate in the future, with any hope. Video format is MPEG - 1. Wasting Time Audio and titles added in post. Thanks. Quote
ZachBG Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 That's pretty funny! I'd love to see how you modeled and rigged the eyes. Works really well. Zach Quote
adamjames Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Very funny....looking forward to your future work with the character. Quote
Parlo Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Ross - - you've got some really nice movement there! Can't wait to see more from the tubby fella. Quote
Ross Smith Posted April 28, 2004 Author Posted April 28, 2004 Thanks for the responses, guys! I'm working on the mouth rig right now... it's a lot more complex than I had figured. But it'll get done eventually. I'll have more tests later. I'm glad that this is actually funny. Quote
Cirrocco Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 HARDY HAR HAR! I didn't see that one coming! I love the characterization, and the sound is just perfect! Nice set up with the classical music, then the sucker punch with the lip-fiddling and the text! Thanks for sharing that with us! That brought a smile to my face! Quote
littleandy Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 That's awesome, man! I'm looking forward to more of this character. I agree, the classical music really gives it a lot of humor. And timing is great. Nice work! -Andrew Quote
zacktaich Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 I'd like to see what this character would look like with black pupils. Could you post a .jpeg? Really cool stuff. Made me laugh. Quote
Ross Smith Posted May 28, 2004 Author Posted May 28, 2004 Hey there, gang. I've been out of town for three weeks (brief school-sponsored trip in Munich!), so's I haven't been keeping track of the forums. Thanks for the posts. Per your request, Zack, the same guy with black pupils: Black Pupils And here are two more renders I made for kicks: Which Hat? Mystery! I have to completely re-do his rig. The rig he had before was one I fashioned myself, and it worked well -- that is, until I tried to get real results out of it. I went through the steps and installed the 2001 rig, and all the magic works so far. Got to work out some problems, such as the necklessness, and remake all his poses (for other reasons). More later!

Admin Rodney Posted June 2, 2004 Admin Posted June 2, 2004 Ross, Okay... Okay.... I take it back.... I was wrong. He is no Killer Bean! I think you've got a great character goin' on! Lookin forward to seeing more of him too. Especially if there is some detective type theme somewhere in there.... Love those eyes too! Quote
modernhorse Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Hey Ross, Thanks for posting the additional renders. I must say I dig the black pupils. Good luck with the rigging. Oh it hurts !! Doug Quote
zacktaich Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 I like the black! The light blue is a bit too hard to read. Makes the facial animation hard to read. Quote
Ross Smith Posted June 3, 2004 Author Posted June 3, 2004 The black really works, eh? That surprises me, I admit. I am going for a color scheme (obviously), so maybe we can compromise with a darker blue? I'll post that and some other stuff later in the WIP section, since this little item is out of the showcase for now. Quote
