Dalemation Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 I intended to enter this in the Hash Animation Comp but didn`t finish it as I got distracted by other things. Must try harder next time. I`ve added hair to my character in AM Version 11 Alpha1. I am stunned by how fantastic this new hair is! http://www.dalemation.free-online.co.uk/CreepyTalkWIP.html Divx 3.2MB Dale. Quote
nerrazzi Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Yeah that hair is pretty nice...! Okay so, does the hair move like it does in your clip based on the movements of the character or did you have to animate the hair movements manually? Quote
xor Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 That's too bad you didn't get this done in time for the contest, it would've had my vote. Pretty good. That hair sure does add to the movement. Kinda helps exhagerate some of the minor movements. Quote
Dalemation Posted October 12, 2003 Author Posted October 12, 2003 Hi Nerrazzi, The hair moves based on the characters movement. The software constantly computes the dynamics for the hair as you animate. This does slow down your workflow a bit so I used a version of the model without hair to animate and substituted the completed model for the final render. Hi Xor, Yeah, I think the hair works amazingly well. Hash have done a fantastic job on this. I set the stiffness too low on the hair at first and even the characters brow movement sent the hair into a wild state of activity! About 70% seemed about right for this. You`re very kind about the vote btw. Thanks. Dale. Quote
Obnomauk Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 any chance of posting in something not DivX I don't have it and have no real desire to download it. I prefer standard codecs that are already installed on my machine. -David Rogers Quote
Dalemation Posted October 12, 2003 Author Posted October 12, 2003 Hi David, The only reason I post Divx is because when I save a Quicktime from AM the sound is always totally distorted for some reason. The editing program I use doesn`t save Quicktime very well either. The Wav file that comes with AM saves fine but my own Wavs sound okay in AM but are no no good when saved in the QT. If anyone can suggest anything it would help as it would be quicker for me to save a QT file. Sorry David - I will do some experimenting though. Dale. Quote
gra4mac Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 3ivx plays some avi and divx clips, and is a QT plugin. It lets us Mac users see more of what the PC folks do. Quote
Dalemation Posted October 12, 2003 Author Posted October 12, 2003 Okay, I`ve posted an Avi file. http://www.dalemation.free-online.co.uk/Cr...lkAgainWIP.html It`s 5.87MB. I must get broadband soon! Dale. Quote
