Hey all, im not dead! just been writing dissertation and animating stuff.. theres not much visuals to pimp but i've got a short bit of animation handy, and the tune that the villagers will dance to: animation: (3.1meg) http://www.rooster13.plus.com/anim%20posting/stitch2.mov small folk-musicy style loop: (131k)…
Cheers mop you make some good points there :]. I know some of its a little rough around the edges, (like the scope I admit) but basically I bit off a huge chunk of work with this animation, and for something that occupies a small ammount of time in the story I can't always afford to get it just right. My advice to you if…
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…

(11 megs tho :/ need to watch the compression next time..) http://www.rooster13.plus.com/anim%20posting/walkanim3.mov edit: aye Mop, just a shitload of wee triangles, about 40000 or so . Its not them that takes…
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…
Matte painting looks good, and the robot composited into the snow looks really excellent. I like the walk animation too, has a nice mechanical feel to it ... keep it up, it's turning out well!
Two things about the animation. I noticed that the bicept of the arm goes through the 'c' shaped piece that holds the arm on. Shouldn't that c shaped piece rotate with the arm? I also think you should add a glow to the chest/grill to look like something is burning in there to run the robot. Just a thought though But I may…
Hmm I guess this stuff isn't too interesting. I'm going to plod on and keep updating as stuff progresses, and if anything catches your attention feel free to comment. I don't know if anyone checked the animation but it actually doesn't take too long to dowload with a fastish connection thanks to plusnets spiffy server, I…
ramucho: cheers man :] cork_soaker: thanks, yeah stupidly I rendered straight to the .mov, dont know how to compress it more. Subsequent anims will be smaller though definately! ghost_rider: thanks man, only 3 1/2 weeks to go.. I'm totally bricking it. notman: absolutely, nice observation. Basically that part wasn't done…
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.
