Some of you might remember this thread I made a while ago about a lil ugly midget. Well, the deadline is approaching and I've got a month left to get it all done (dissertation and animation.. eek!) so I thought I would appoint myself a thread to document the development in the last few weeks of work and take comments and…
Update time! I've been working away, on my dissertation and the animation. lemme see, these are the main things of interest, theres also a bunch of small other tweaks I've done that arent really worth posting pictures of. The well is finished for the village etc. heres how the observatory looks: telescope in blizzard:…
hehe cheers Thegodzero, it looks simple (and is really) but took me 3 attempts at a walkcycle to get it that way thanks for the crits MoP, I think you're right about the swivel I'll see what I can do. Unfortunately some of this stuff I'm doing for the first time ever and I dont always have the best setup, so some of it is…
Looking good so far. I think for the chair animation, it should swivel faster initially, then slow down gradually - in fact I think it would be more effective if it actually swivelled about 30 degrees further than it is at the moment, and if he hops off while it's still slowing down from the spin, that might look more…
Hey, cool stuff. I like the metal on his periscope/telescope thing that he's looking through - also the external view of that is very cool. The grass outside the village looks really neat! Alpha-mapped planes or something? Shaping up nicely... keep at it... last minute work rules!
If I decide to do 4th year, that is... Very true about the number of sets thing... yeah, I guess it doesn't really matter about that then. And, yeah, I see what you mean about the blizzard visibility. I hadn't considered that he had to look to the village out of his telescope. The dancing animation is very cool. I love the…
Hehe, cool new stuff. The welding scene looks good, if anything I'd even up the brightness and saturation of those sparks, and make the light a bit brighter too, just to get even more contrast between the shadows and light. Love the steam regulator gadget, very nifty. The telescope looks good, although if that's supposed…
Just finished my fist ever digital matte.. watch out Mullins! hah I wish . It's far from perfect but tons of other stuff needs my attention right now so I might come back to it later. http://www.rooster13.plus.com/anim%20posting/fincomp.jpg based on this: http://www.rooster13.plus.com/anim%20posting/comp_b4.jpg edit: and a…
What is a good way to compress video files for the internet? And Rooster This is coming along magnificently! I love it. Props to you for undertaking such a large project!
You really need to compress that animation. I like the sense of weight in the robot's walk. I can almost hear the foot stomp and the gears creaking. The small wiggles of the pipe and the dude on top add believability. Good job.
