I'm making my first 3D animation using blender for a college project. I need to get feedback as one of my criteria so any replies would be much appreciated. It is still a work in progress so I'm showing some of the 3d assets in the animation. Character model Ship model Environments - still have to work on sky and…
Update: So our existing modeller has told me that he's not gonna be able to work on this project for the forseeable future, so that makes things more urgent now. So, my team does have someone who is supposed to be handling character models/animations, but he's also busy as hell and likely won't be able to get things done…
Hey, I'll try to keep this short and coherent. I'm meeting up with some film makers tomorrow afternoon who are interested in creating a short Tv/cinema advert for a charity that works to help soldiers with Post-traumatic stress disorder. They are thinking about a concept in which a retired soldier is seen playing a video…
Exactly Jordan N, notice the characters have a sort of 3d look in the movie. Klaus animators have just taken it one step further with motion vectors to add textures to the drawings. They are using nuke for the color shading. I think the normal mapping is what they are taking care with to make sure it's very detailed and…
Finally got around making another pass on this one. I managed to screw up the locators, constraints acting up and of course gimbal lock. Thanks for the comments guys! ZacD Cool suggestion about the railing, I'm going to try it for sure. You don't have to be an animator to critique animation, its what feels of to you thats…
I just have some questions after animating a fan using matinee last night. From what I understood I had to convert the static mesh to a mover in order to get matinee to animate it. But when I convert it the lighting becomes a lot more harsh (none of the lighting is baked, I'm using a dominant direction light with one of…
I know, this isn't generally where you go for flash animation. It's primarily 3D modelers and animators round these parts. But I'm out of a job, and I'm looking for some manner of employment. I'd really like a salaried position, but I'm also entirely open to contract work to pay the bills. I've got some pre-made flash…
Anyone know of a quick way to mirror an animation left-to-right? I have a bone-based animation (not a Biped) of a fish turning left, and just want to duplicate that at a later time but swap the direction so now he turns right instead. Then I can customize it a little, without having to reinvent the wheel. One way I was…
Hello there polycount forum! I go by the name Snollygoster (my general internet handle) and I'm here to submit my introduction to the world of animation or so to speak. So far it's 70% done. It's supposed to be a silent 10 sec interaction between 2 free models from the animation mentor site. They are of course stewart and…
