Anim8or Community

Just something I did for fun overnight:

They are probably going to have textured on faces, can't wait to dress them up, that'll be fun.

I'm going to be working on modeling a bunch of monsters. I've moved on to learning how to animate in Maya, but I just feel like Anim8or is funner to use to make 3D models.

So guys, I found a neat website that allows anybody to freely sign up to sell anything digital, that includes 3D models. And so, I think I want to try my hand at making a series of models that go on that site for sale. I'm thinking that I want to sell models that progressively get more detailed in polycount starting with the bar set at <500.

This took me maybe 2.5 hours to make. I think it came out pretty well formed considering that low number of polygons. What do you think?

This is a technique I've been working at for years, because the two ideas just have seemed so incomparable. Normally when I make eyes on my characters, I do it as a really flat set of faces that's textured with the details of an eye, though details like the eye lid do wind up being modeled apart from the eye, the limitation for me has always been that it's not a convenient set up for making animations where the characters eyes move.

But after about 14 failed attempts over 4 years, I finally came up with a technique, that I am satisfied with.

Recently, I've been trying to make my personal art style a strong medium between American and Japanese animation. How successful I am with that is questionable. But I'd like to know if what you think about my new found eye technique, and if you think there's anything off, let me know.

Sakuya from Touhou, I need to make the texture more definitive:

I find it a lot easier to manipulate 2D images in anim8or than any other program, funny how that works. These are to be printed out and used for a stop motion.

How I did it:

I've always thought that Deltafoot is almost Just as much of a staple to Difference as Aaron or Siiya. That said, when I updated the model, the changes were small. The Model has more polygons for one, this time his appendages actually connect to the geometry of his body. There's his arms and theighs actually have some muscular shape to them. There is now a forth segment to his legs where his foot touches the ground. Jaw-armor is gone, but now his mouth can open and close. His claws are now yellow and appear to be of good for digging.

Progress is going well with this game, all 12 main characters, hero's and villains are DONE! The thing about this game is that it will use 0 textures (except for explosions and lasers), and I'm trying out things to make it look as nice as possible with such minimalistic limitations. I changed the 1 directional light into 3 different lights of different colors. Also some weapons will give off light for dramatic effect!
