let me know what you come up with...

Also no one has been in contact with me leting me know whats going on...I think everyone has droped the project.If not,drop by and post what you are doing it only takes a few seconds to do this..

http://www.cabspace.com/forums/index.php?mforum=anim8or

This is in no way meant to replace the forum here, it is just for more specific discussion, such as objects and characters. We can continue to discuss as normal here of course. The other forum is just a place for more orginization.

Iam not being mean. I have been here for a long time and have seen to many attemps at makeing movies. if we can keep everything we do strickly on the movie and have a website that limits what is posted then we should be able to complete it...

Just my thoughts. Please dont take it personal.cool!

As the topic descriptions, for the most part, I put in your first post on all of the topics. As I was copying them, I was about ready to kill that clown add. The other message board will give us all a little more concentration.

If anyone sees a topic that should be added to the board, just tell me and I will add it.

Oh, and Mp3d, when you join, I'll give you admin so you can sort the topics, and set up like you were originaly thinking. If you want, we can even condense it to one topic thing rather than several to get a more message board feel rather than forum. I just like the ad free thing.

Folks just to make sure you know whats going on here.

This is NOT! anther forum...This is a place holder for the Movie.

We need to keep track of whats going on if we want this to be completed.

Please go to the message board and post in the topic that you want to work on..This will give everyone a feel for who is working on the movie.

Pretty soon, if no one has any objections, using the info we collect on the message board I can make an offical web list, telling who's doing what, and what's been done. I know we have a list on yahoo, but not everyone can access that, so a web site might be a more open source.

Edit: I've started work on the website. Its by the same company as the message board, free and adless which is nice. It has links to all of the main project sites. Pretty soon, I'll start a list of what we need, who's working on what, and what is done. I majorly need everyone's help getting this list together. Please post here, the message board, or e-mail me at lafille67@yahoo.com what you are working on so I can make this list happen.

You can find the websitehere

I also think we need to put some people in charge of certain parts of the project, that way people can contact them if there are questions. There are some topics that people are already somewhat incharge of (benny = music, P_R7 = script), but some catigories are more up for grabs, and a little leadership might be good for organization. If anyone wants to step up, or nominate someone just say so.

Iam also helping in the soundtrack for the movie.I am also modeling the dragon and woof...I have also volentered to help in the casting for the voice acting.I also started amessage board to help organize this project.

theater375 has taken this over which i think is a good idea.she seems to have a good handle on this and in my opinion should continue with the message board.I will post my progress as I go.Or I e-mail theater375 and give her the details on where i am at with my part in the movie...

As for the project being dead, it isn't really. I think it's just me holding everybody up by not completing the script... but it's coming. I've reworked everything up to the river wasta scene. Anybody got any metaphors for what a face with zits on it looks like? i have "like a group of vindictive rodents attacked your face with flaming bodkins" but I don't quite like it.

According to the yahoo site's member list we have 30 members- the list in files lists about 15- and here we have about 5 people active. So I can see how you think the project is dead, MP3D.

Morprok, I only listened to a few seconds of your clips, but i assume youd like C&C.
The quality didn't seem to be that good, is your mike 6 inches from your face?
IMHO, you need more expression. Try to cultivate a sarcastic attitude for this character.
I'm glad you've taken initiative and recorded these lines. I'm trying to keep CG's lines intact as I rework the script, but you may have to redo some. Thanks for including the list, it's very helpful. I think you can leave the clips on Yahoo.

Oh, I almost forgot. I was wondering about accents. American? Brittish? or does it vary depending on the character? and in that case, how should I do Princess Pustula and ugly maiden?

Voice Sample is here...

have at it you british chaps
and such,and so on, and so forth.

I don't know if it qualifies as british or not.

edit...
that file host was kind of slow, so you can get it there or at the yahoo site in my sound folder.

Well old chap! To be honest there are so many variations of the english tongue it is difficult to say who is truely english, even the royal family have a long distant german past. What ever you do though, don't try to create voices by wording things as if you've got your nose stuck in the air because I can gaurantee you this, It won't work at all. Also, you have to remember that countries world wide have more than one langauge spoken and so it would not be unusual to have different tongues in the same area and so the same film.

BTW - Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thnk I am the oldest one here (41 nearly) and so if anyone wants to volunteer my vocals for a part then suggest away and I'll see what I can do. I also sing

Now that is something I would love to see.

Benney, both of the kings are older gents... and probably the dragon as well. Hmm.. Perhaps you could go through the character list and recommend accents for each?

Any young english males who would like to try for Charlie?

British English
British Accent
Discuss ... might as well keep everything organized.

I've been working on a person, if I get her done well enough, we might be able to use her. Right now, its just a WIP and probably oddly preportioned.

Once I get chance I'll get the studio setup for vocal work and post you an audio sample of my vocals. This way you can decide, I would rather let the script writer have the final decision of the character vocals because at the end of the day it is the script writer who has the clearer picture in his/her head of the characters personality. We all have our own slightly different interpretation of the characters and this can be a little dangerous. It is a bit like reading a book when each of us have a slightly different image in our mind.

Theater375, you are correct about the proportions... I suggest finding an anatomy book or using this tutorial. It's a drawing tutorial but it explains proportions pretty well.

feeg..It would be a great help if you could start sending a few samples of your voice acting..That way we can start working on motivation for the character/'s you would like to work with...cool...

theater375,Please post a picture of the wire frame so we can see what is going on ....cool...

Tip on modeling:

Getting the proportions right while modeling is a good thing...BUT....Getting everything roughed out with your model is the best thing...

Meaning this:Build your model first then add detail later. You will find that your workflow will become faster. And everything will fall into palce as you begin to add that detail...(useing edgeloops will make this workflow happen....).

Anywho....Take care.

I'm looking forward to it P_R7. Just email it direct to me and don't forget that MP3D might want a copy as well so he can run a few ideas across.

MP3D. I might sound a little dumb but what is C&C ?

and now to everything else....

I'm not dead.... I'm following your progres every day twice at least, I just didnt have much time lately.... mostly because of school....

I've been experimenting some more with trees but It din't work out - I promise to make at least 3 or 4 more trees from this tree template I already have....

Also I've been experimenting with terrain setup - and I've been thinking.... It would take much memory in MB-s to make big terrains (small ones would look to real) - so I came to an idea to make seamles terrain that would repeat itself in scene mode couple of times - there4 saving up memory to 6 or 9 times... (or more...)... I've had some sucsess with that already....

Main reason I'm not so active is That I'm vaiting 4 PR_7 to fix the tower lighting setup as he had in mind... so I can finish the tower... (It's almost finished already.... )

And then I'll be doing the two trones room and forest environment.....

theater375,Well I can see a few problem areas...But I do see some edgeloopage going on which is a good thing.

I marked up your picture.
Red means elete
Blue means: Add new edgeloop

Hopefully you can make out what Iam trying to say in the picture...

once you have added those loops take a screen shot of the wire from side view and front view and post it.I will(if you want) mark up what the next step should be...cool.

Yes P_R7 I would like to have a copy just to stay current with what is going on..Benny once you have found what you are wanting send me what you have and I will see if I can add to it or better yet voice my opinion..Cool!!!!..But iam sure I wont be able to add anything because we kinda think alike on music so you will get there before I do...lol...

This is an EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr.Smeagol YOUR STILL ALIVE!!!!!Welcome back!!!!!!!

there is a fix for large enviroments in Anim8or...

Go to scene mode and click on "settings" then click on "Enviroment" then at the bottom you will see a button "Advanced" click on that this is the Z near and Z far..Set z far to as high as it will go...And z near to like 1 ...now your landscape wont go out of focus in camera view...Now the draw back to haveing large objects in scene mode is...In any other view besides camera view and top view your object will lose focus and some/all of your object wont be seen...but thats ok...If you go to my website I show you how to move the camera around in Camera view..Doing this there is no need to change views while anim8ing..

WELCOME BACK!!!!

MP3D

Theater375, I don't know anything about edgelooping but as for proportions, your head is too big, the torso is too short, and the arm looks too thick. The dress might need lengthening as well. I haven't analysed it thourougly, that's just my eye talking. Did you read the tut?

Feeg, a 16 year old with an English accent! 16-20 is the age Prince Charlie seems to be, so you might get the part! 'm not making any promises, mind you. I'll have to listen to you first.

Codfish, so good to see you! (Figuratively speaking.)

MP3D, those are good ideas. I'm sorry for neglecting you with the rap. I think the second C is for Critiques, actually. It sounds classier at any rate.

Mr. Smeagol, sorry. I don't have any rela excuses 'cept for school... I deleted my first lightnig setup because I didn't like it and I'm working on another. It's going to be a challenge to align the lightning flash transmaps so that they can be seen through the windows in the right scale. I'll put the tower at the top of my list, I promise! I think fractals are repeating patterns, so once you find where they repeat, tiling should be painless... hopefully.

Any more comments on the Schedule?

I have decided that I would like to try for the part of Smidgeon. He seems to be written for me!! (well, that makes sense, actually) I'll probably need some doctoring on my voice since I'm 14. I'll post my sample soon now that I have LAME.

[img=http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/8775/edgeloop5ez0bz.th.jpg] .

Now what I want you to do is work the rest of the head ...

This is what I want you to focus on when you modeling...

1: while modeling think of 4 point polies(quads)if you see a triangle rework it untill it is gone.

2:Make sure that every loop in continueous. Meaning they dont stop and end somewhere with nowhere to go.This does not mean if you follow an edge you end up where you started from.

3:never use a sphere to model a head.lolol..

Just a thought on triangles:

Triangles are not forbiden.you CAN use them in some areas of your model.But with a proper edgelooped model it can be done in ALL quads.(The Whole Model).

Those area's That should never have triangles are area's that will be anim8ed.

When useing triangles make sure they are hidden.Like on the head were you plan to put hair.In my opinion triangles should be avoided.but hey sometimes they pop up..SO HIDE THEM ...lololololololol..

ok lets see some edgeloops on that there model.Oh dont start to detail yet. Get the loops flowing first. Then go back and tweak the mesh.

reasons:

Their part isn't too major and isn't too minor.

They are prety cool.

And I ave this odd fasinaction with robots!

But, i woun't be able to get a sample in for a while because my mic fell from my desk and got ran over by my chair and it broke so i'll have to buy a new one.

CODFISH

codfish- I know all about breaking mics! I must have gone through at least five by now. With long periods of time where I couldn't do any recording for lack of equiptment... Good luck and happy recordings.

Ah now I know what C&C means (thought i was missing out on something for a minute then

I will email you a copy of what P_R7 has sent me so you can have a play around. I have to confess that rap and hiphop is not my strong point but I'm game for just about anything

So that's 2 cokes, 1 LARGE bag of popcorn and of course a bag of crisps to get on everyone nerves whilst opening it during the good bit LOL

BTW - Can everyone stop breaking their mics please If I broke mine it would cost me about £200.00 for a replacement

I actually didn't post my sample because even in MP3 format, the upload page expired before the upload was finished. So I sent it to you guys instead. Incidentally, I gave you both a few lines as yourself, Benney's in the rap, MP3D's in the closing credits. I found myself with a few gags left over so I'm making acollection to put in the credits, like those Pixar blooper things.

any parts i could play??
