Great work Deluxe ! :thumbsup:
Weary interesting, did u made all graphics in 3D (or not ? i just saw the skreengrabs)? Did u used mocap for football player animation ?

[dobermunk]

Wow! I've been a fan of your work for some time now without knowing it!

I don't really like the football (soccer) character designs, but that Tennis ident is ROCKS!

Hi Eugeny,
Yes it's full 3d, with a little AE and No I didn't use Mocap, its all by hand :)

Hi Dobermunk,
I'm a big fan of what you're doing too !
Which soccer you don't like ? Manga or green-Hiphop one ?

Big thanx both you for the comments

Cheers,
Facial.

Hi Deluxe,

I really like the direction of the greenish HipHop one (if we're referrign to the same one ;-) but he seems to break up a bit in animation. I feel for ya there, I hate set-up!
You're design work is great as in the other pieces as well (my absolute favorite :bounce: being that scooby-like Tennis piece! - everytime Eurosport shows it I stop zapping!)

The bluish Manga guy just doesn't hit the note for me. Can't quite put my finger on it but he doesn't seem appealing, nietehr as a nasty cool guy or as a good guy. I think it may have to do with modeling detail - where manga expressions (i.e. comic) are very difficult to achieve with geometry.

At any rate and however you look at it - this is very mild critique in light of your well-earned success!

Hi Dobermunk,
thanx for the feedback. If you're talking about the 2nd pic on page 2 (Virtual speaker),

then I totally agree with you. Typically the kind of project with a tedious client who want's the character to be " a little like this, and the opposite". So in the end it's not terrific.
