[adboy]

it has a nice maintainable style

cant wait to see more:)

[sebek27]

cool! love the characters ... what software are you using ??

[John Lee]

I'm using lightwave 7.5 but it took 2 hours to render one frame with all the setting set to low and no shadow plus i got a 2.4 P4 machine and I got 4800 frames. LOL. I don't think i gonna get this finished on time.

shame it takes so long, have you got any other rendering techniques in mind, any more rendered pics etc..?

:applause:

[John Lee]

Yea i'm working on that right now, i will post up some more pics and tell me you think it looks better than the first pic.

[John Lee]

Hey guys

Here is an update render. I've try to get a more cartoony look let me know you think? This render took 2 mins as apposed to my earier tests with HDRI.( a 2 hour render ).

well neo, i think the top render is obviously better, but considering how much longer that type of render takes, then the latest render is still got a nice look, and a unique style.

Anymore renders? and if this is a film, how do i get to see the animation man!! i wanna see!!! ??

[jscheel]

I like the bottom render, and 2 minutes sounds good to me. But if you like the top one, you could try a fake GI.

:beer:

Great cant wait for more!

[ckpew99]

I was wondering what happened to this projuect I remember seeing the animation of this characters showing their bones, of the two of them running through an obstacle course, anywho.

Im thinking obviously the frist render is better, but the question is do you have the time and the patience?

Looking really good

[Jason S]

Looking Good man! Cant wait to see it all rendered, and the animation is looking swwweeeeeeeta!

Jason

[John Lee]

ai_jai: Yes i will show you some animation very soon just got to nail doen the style and texchique.


jscheel: What you think is the best way to do it?

TRyanD: Thanks man you got any projects going?

ckpew99: No i don't have the time to do these renders at 2 hours a frame al thpugh it look nice deadline is in 7 weeks . aaaahhh!!! The reason i been keeping quiet is because i don't want to give too much away. hehehe i will keep you posted ok?

John Lee

[jscheel]

I'm not very familiar with lightwave, but I'm sure you could find a script.

[John Lee]

BTW Jason what did you think of the beginning shot?

John

[ai_jai]

hey neo,

wots with the pole? i dont think it fits in with the desert like enviroment really.

And as for the robot, i think it could do with some more detail, i.e panels, at the moment it looks like it's been made with some really fancy metal moulder! lol

[nofxsapunk]

hey i just wanted to say the style of the character looks great, i think it is coming along nicely, just a suggestion but do any of your friends have lightwave, because if they do maybe they would be niec enough to render some of your frames for you so that way you can get the HDRI so your project will look better ( just a thought) but very nice work none the less.

[John Lee]

hey nofxsapunk

I got friends with LW but they all got the same deadline as me! But thanks for the thought any way.

More updates to come very soon
