KenH Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Here's the first pass of the first half of my troll short. It's small and compressed and dark and there are lots of planned improvements as a result of seeing it but you'll get an idea. 3.8MB Quicktime Quote
luckbat Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 That is so weird--he looks like he's stop-motion! I have no idea why. TROLL SMASH! Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 11, 2004 Hash Fellow Posted October 11, 2004 That's quite good! Nice set too. And the off camera explosion works well also. He does have a bit of Harryhausen in him, maybe cause there's no motion blur? Looks cool! Quote
pia12254 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Hey Ken, Great work! I love your character! I agree with Robcat. I think the off screen explosion is great. Very convincing and looks good. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more.... Quote
starwarsguy Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 nice animation, the xplosion at the end really makes it Quote
MATrickz Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Great animation Ken!!! I really like that character, he has a lot of potential Quote
KenH Posted October 11, 2004 Author Posted October 11, 2004 Thanks! I thought there was abit of a stop motion look, but would never compare my work to the great mans....only that it's a monster that's being animated. Also, it's probably enforced by some "stuttering" when he turns round. I could fix it with a few keyframe changes, but I'm almost loath to as I like that look...brings back memories. The explosion does add to it and it's one of the things I'm going to fix. It dies out too fast for my liking. It also puts nice highlighting on the troll. He'll be in the lights more in the second half. Quote
Sharky Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Hi Kenh! Nice work! Keep it up! Keep it up! I'm waiting the second half, because I would like to see more from your model! Cheers, Sharky Quote
Paul Forwood Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Hey, that's pretty cool, Ken. I'm in the que for the next installment. Did you use TSM2 in the end? Paul Forwood Quote
KenH Posted October 13, 2004 Author Posted October 13, 2004 I'm in the que for the next installment. I did. It's great. Quote
hypnomike Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Looks good Ken! It seems smooth enough to me, have you already improved it? If you're loath to make changes you could always save as a separate version and compare the two outputs. Look forward to seeing the complete version. Cheers. Quote
