« on: January 02, 2025, 08:03:03 am » Thanks Rudy. I was never really that happy with the 1st Eart, but it really made a difference by shortening it.
Have had an idea for another 'creation' story. Might go there. If i do i'll remember to keep it as short as pos, and to the point. As you know, these things can take time, and i think i've now learnt that 'even tho you're going to spend all that time making a short movie, that doesn't mean that the audience have all day to watch it'
If we're really proud of the, eg; 'object', that we've made, you can actually ruin it by giving it, perhaps, the extra screen time that we think it deserves.
In your case, Rudy, this doesn't really apply. You make awesome models, which are really cool to look at.
But short animations, that tell a story, can't really afford to drag it out, especially when the models etc are basic and quite amateur looking. Like mine.
Anyway, glad that the story of 'eart ' helped to answer that 'life' question for you.
Thanks for the comment. Hope you're doing ok. Cheers.

Nice one olan. I like the way you're changing his upper body movements while he's walking.
Yeah, steve said it. "go woody!"

He's a pretty cool character in the movie.
Hopefully you'll give him a voice one day? Good job.

Have always thought the original 'Eart' was too drawn out.
Lost all my working files, but managed to do an ok job at shortening the video.
Happy New Year to you all.
Love is stronger than hate, and there's always hope.

Anim8or v1.0 Discussion Forum / poses
« on: August 01, 2024, 04:34:04 am »
Hi steve. Been a long time.
Blowing dust out of my anim8or PC, and looking through some of my old stuff.
Was reminded of something that i've been meaning to ask about. Poses.
Presently, to save a 'pose', it's a case of saving a short sequence. (I usually save as a 2 frame sequence, with both frames keyed.)
Was thinking, considering that poses can be such a usefull thing when animating a character, that it would be cool if you could save a 'pose'. ?
If there was option like 'save this pose', anim8or could key all the bones and save to a 'pose' folder?
Or something like that?
(a pose would be saved with all bones keyed. and there would, naturally, then be another option 'Add Pose') (to character in scene) Maybe even available in sequence mode? (maybe)

Hi there olan
Not actually a comment on lighting, but about chauna on couch. I see he must be rigged, for him to be sitting on the couch.
Something i have done for a long time now, with any character, is to make a pose, (2 frame sequence, double keyed), of the hands, with fingers slightley curved.
It makes a huge difference in any image, when the fingers are not so straight.
Just a thought.
Otherwise, looking good.

I just don't have any ideasNow that you've got lucas rigged, you could test him out with a wave. Maybe even 'walk' onto the stage, stop in front of camera, and wave. You could even try some lipsync. (morphs). "hi there, i'm lucas"
(or just a big smile and blink, to start with)
(all good things to learn)

Cool viking, well done.
Was wondering about the base. Did u glue on the stoney surface bits, and i'm guessing the mushroom/toadstool is hand made, rather than printed?.
