John Bigboote Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Thought I'd share my latest with the Forum. I'm dreaming-up a 'superhero' premice. 'CrimeBomb' is a masked crimefighter who's lazy ways forces him to take on a 'sidekick' to improve his ratings. Misty wins his heart and gets the job, only to learn that she has to do all the dirty work and CrimeBomb gets all the credit. She is unsure if their ratings are improving because of her crimefighting or her outfit, which CrimeBomb designed and insists she wears... Both are rigged with TSM1, awaiting TSM2...CrimBomb is heavy with fanbones and smartskin and needs a lot of work, MissDemeanor's hair is V11 with 2 separate matierials 1 for short hair and 1 for poneytail- which has an pose to enhance swinging back and forth. Also on her I modelled a thin box with full transparancy which goes along her backside and moves with the rig, from neck to waist, this helps with the collision detection. More to come...

Dalemation Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Wow!! I like it. The girls hair is a little distracting towards the end of the animation but otherwise the whole thing looks very impressive so far. The idea sounds fun too. Are you producing a short film with the characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Thanks Dale, No- not a short film...for now just some demo-reel clips, maybe eventually some formulaic episodes... Yeah- I overdid the hair at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DArtZ Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 John, looks really cool. Nice job Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted September 1, 2004 Admin Share Posted September 1, 2004 Very very nice! I love the design of the characters and the simplicity of the expressions. I know it wasn't so simple to get it animated! Really looking forward to seeing more of these two and their adventures. Interesting storyline you've got there as well. You are quite adept at linking your story elements with the elements of the character animation and designs. For example, the explanation for Misty's outfit. Nice touches throughout your description and animation. Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypoissant Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I like those two a lot. And the animation is really good too. Lots of exageration but not overdone IMO. There is definitely a comic effect and we can almost guess what they are saying to each other just by the facial expressions and body postures. Great work.

johnl3d Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 great looking characters..i actually tried to turn up the sound twice thinking I was missing the conversation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengy Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 these characters ooze personality.It's been cool to see misty in all her different incarnations. 1 suggestion I do have is that her feet are slipping all over the place as she walks and during the last pose, which you should fix. Also while there seems to be weight in CB's walk I don't get a sense of any in hers. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these two myself.
