I love the bench press! I thought sort of as a side musing, "gawd this is a bore unless looking for techniques," but then the head-whop really changed the feel of it!

I love all of your videos Johnar. It was seeing that funny eyeball tutorial that got my attention.  Ah, Spring break and no where to go...  :'(

I would have gone to Florida but I am broke again.  So I guess I will make some more fairies and try some animation.   Contact my texture guy and get the status on my textures.   :-\

Keep up the good videos,

WB

 Hi again. :)

 WB. Thanks for your comments. Hope all is well.
 Arik The Red. I agree. Its too boring posting little bits and pieces that don't really do much.
 So i got carried away with the juggling sausage-man and ended up with this:

 Chill Out'


 Its got some character animation attempts, like a bit of dancing, lip syncing and stuff.
  It wasn't made to a 'plan', or script, and i don't really know what to think of it. Just spent too much time on it to write it off, so had to persevere and finish it
 Now i can get back to some other stuff that i 'planned' on doing before i got bogged down with this. ;)
 Hope its reasonably ok to watch.
 C and/or C welcome. :)

Cool work, as usual, Johnar.  Just one thing bugs me, though.  In the first half of the film, you've got the guys on the unicycles peddling back-and-forth to maintain balance.  The problem is the forwaqrd-and-reverse motion of the wheel doesn't correspond with its rotation.  That is, when one fellow peddles backward, the wheel actually moves forward.  It's a little thing, yes, but the eye catches details that don't make sense such as that.

 Thanks guys.
 Cheers rellik420  :)

 Hi there. RudySchneider:  I always appreciate your comments. :)
 I'm looking at the vid, and don't actually see the bit you're talking about. (i am going blind though) ;)
 It sort've looks right to me, unless i'm seeing it wrong. (which i must be, coz i know that you're onto the physics/movement of things like that
 I just can't see it. (the wheel going fwd as he pedals back)
Is it all the time during the back and forth movement, or just for a moment.?
 You've got me worried here.  ( Am i going mad.) :).

 EDIT: i just looked again.  OK. I see what you mean. Yes. Well, it never occured to me. I honestly thought i had that right. But, no.
   The wheels are 'rotating' correctly, but the movement 'on the ground' is wrong.
Well spotted.   Glad u picked that up. :)

I really don't have much knowhow on 3D animation. I'm just enjoying watching them. The first clip was really good. I like the last part of it. The second clip was just so silly, lol. Thus was nicely done  from unkind gunfights to becoming friends. Good job!
