Biotron2000 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Here is a short clip of Bender from Futurama saying his trademark phrase - there is one potentially objectional word, so be warned. Bender Speaks! My first version of Bender used a decal for the teeth, but I wanted to do lipsynch. I thought of just using spline rings set to "Render as lines," then I decided to use mesh in case I want to do non-toon rendered clips as well (I do). Enjoy, and critiques are welcome!

hypnomike Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Looks (and sounds) good! Nice idea with the lipsync. Are you going to post in 3d to see how that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsguy Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 wow that's really good, but the bender in Futurama, it think, is more grey than blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotron2000 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Thanks for your kind replies! Hypnomike: I want to do a 3D render but I want to make a copy of the model with appropriate textures or materials that wouldn't work for 2D. I'll play with that later today. starwarsguy: It depends. Sometimes he looks more blue, like on the Volume 4 DVD set cover, sometimes more grey, I prefer the blue more but may try some grey coloring to see how it looks.

starwarsguy Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 ok, maybe it just sticks out more to me b/c i like him grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotron2000 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Okay, here's one in 3D. And starwarsguy, you might like this 'cause he kinda looks more greyer. 3D Bender Again, comments and critiques welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsguy Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I like it, but I think Bender is better suited for 2D. Great job! BTW, are the mouth lines splines rendered as lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotron2000 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 The vertical lines are cylinders and the horizontal lines are toruses. I tried the spline route but wanted them to show up more clearly. This seems to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanlivin Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 that's a really great model!! The toon render and 3d render both look really amazing. I'm impressed... great job! I'm still tryin to make my first good model It'll happen... one day. Looking at the work around here is encouraging tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypnomike Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think he looks great in 3d! The 2d looks better in his empty surroundings but I think if you put him in a proper setting 3d would win! Keep posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesshmusic Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Right on! You really got Bender looking good. Throw in a cigar and have him steal something and pop it in his hect and he'll be perfect! I like seeing him realized in 3d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
