A fun productive weekend so far... Rebuilding that iconic scene for my first entry "High Noon Toons"... And having a "blast" with my second entry: "Lost Cow in Space"... (With many thanks to Zach Mertz for making his buildings free in 3DWarehouse)
Pop Video Converter.. an example of how I used this handy little program to generate small reliable vids for use inside iClone... it's especially fast and handy for green screening - which I used to convert Crazytalk 2D toons for use in iClone... as per my next post if the gremlins of cyberspace are kind today. :)
Thanks Cape! ... Today's update for Lost (Cow) in Space: It's official. I suck at physics. Thank goodness I'm... ehh-hemmm... *deliberately* going for a slightly jerky toon style, or else my first attempt at chain physics would be *totally* atrocious, and not just embarrasing... hahaha... but on the bright side, there's…
Using CrazyTalk Animator 2 with iClone for 2.5D... I love this fantasy style, ever since I saw this cartoon: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJzYKm1_Bvo"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJzYKm1_Bvo[/ame] And I'd love it with a modern twist, by blending modern 3D animation with contemporary 2D, so here's a pic from my…
Project 1: High Noon Toons Game Level 1: "Choose Your Bang Stick" Okay, so this set is nearly ready to animate. There's a bell in the church tower now, and all the doors, signs and other props can move, break or explode... Game lovers will spot plenty of in-jokes in this scene too, where the targets can also shoot back...…
Doh!!... Evil Internet Pixies... Gremlins are preventing me from uploading my other entry: High Noon Toons!!... It keeps timing out and I need to start again. But wish me luck, because I still have a whole day. (It's rainy school holidays here downunder in Oz, so all the school kids in our valley are at home and using up…
What have we got? We've got the plot! In our First Entry, For kids, Rated G... Our violence is wholesome and clean, like Bugs Bunny. It's Elmer Fud, culling wildlife to eat, while his Toon Horse prefers targets set free... (with plot twists from sci-fi and fantasy) So Rule #1 for comedians from John Cleese to Disney: We…
LOL, according to my son I need to redo it all because i made the Stygi too big. He then proceeded to quote dinosaur facts at me like a RainMan... Sheesh, kids these days... where's their imagination? On a lighter note, he also spotted the avatar of Cerberus in my skit and pointed me to this fun little factoid: ... which…
Over what "Great and Glorious Thing" shall we battle? Weird but True: All great game stories need "The Great and Glorious Thing" over which all of its players shall boldly and fiercely compete, kill and die... usually many times.... and it has to be something so empowering, and so highly valued, that the necessity for it…
STOP PRESS!!! My Hero: 3DXchange to the Rescue! Yes, it's true... this modest little ap just solved a pesky problem that's been bugging me for ages: how to "re-create" polys that were deleted from props and accessories to save system resources. {Tiz a common problem with freebie assets from 3DWarehouse and other modelling…
