Anim8or Community

I forgot my original concept somehow for this after college dumped its load on me. I'm gonna have to come up with another one. XD

EDIT: I thought of an awesome short! Just that it involves a color bar the type you see at the beginning of a video(or when a channel signs off). Any chance this concept have any place?

I'm afraid I might not be able to finish this. I have to go to class and I might not have enough time when I return.

To at least show what I've got already, here's a wip. All that's missing are the character's really, which I've just boiled down to two.

Now that I look at it though I think it's really stretching it...

EDIT: Managed to finish it (at the expense of my painting XD)

The image needed a tad bit of photoshop color correction to fix up some lighting issue I couldn't handle within Anim8or due to using flat surfaces for leaves. You can't get a good highlight easily on the upper part of the group of leaves. (HoF contact ps.jpg)

But if photomanipulation isn't allowed on the entries then I attached an unedited one just in case. (HoF contact.jpg)

EDIT 2: Crud I rendered the wrong size. I wondered why it was so small. XD

Additional notes: Render time approx: 20 mins

This has a ton of flat surfaces for particles whatnot. I lost count how many copy pastes I did to get a clutter. And due to lack of time I couldn't fill the area with bodies. Ah well.

I found a few faults already while I stare at my screen during render. Lighting is something I should really get practicing with... well basically that here and there and I over darkened some textures for fear the characters won't stand out.

Any feedback is appreciated

That's pretty good. It really looks like we're up high.

The only thing that bugs me is that it's hard to focus on one spot. I'm guessing we're supposed to focus on the girl right? It's like there should be a contrast between the subject and the background. Maybe blur the background a little or if you want a clear shot change the lighting so that you somehow make the girl pop out. That's just what I think though.

Oh... I'm DEFINITELY gonna try this one out This will make lip syncing so much easier!

I'll report back my findings and eventual results.

This is... amazing. Indeed reminds me of Blender and other programs out there.

Now if only this method can be applied to a body with a head attached. Is it possible to apply something like this to an existing figure or would there be a need to tweak the model in ways to facilitate this (such as the eyes)?

Ok I'm already halfway building my subject model (one of them anyway) for this project and I have a concept as to how it'll go. I'll post some screens tomorrow when it looks a little less messy. XD

Anyway my question. Again it's about the hallway like a few have asked. We are not allowed to change the dimensions of the hallway but we are allowed to modify it to add more hallways/doors and whatnot. That much I understand. Can I replace one of the walls with let's say a low fence, or the ceiling with the leaves and branches of a tree? Basically I put in an element in place of the face of the original hallway. Or would that be going too far? I'm afraid it sounds too radical for this challenge.

Don't worry I have a backup plan. ^^

Aw. Nobody submitted anything?

This lack of activity is spurring me on to make something. This was a nice challenge. I just was busy with school stuff so I didn't quite voice out that I'd join. I had an idea but couldn't foresee that I'd be able to put it into motion.

Janro runs off to make something.
