Hey All,

Thanks for all the comments. I'll try and get the court up when I get a chance. Its still in its early stages though. I've got a little clip of animation that I'll post as well. It's just a playblast though.

How did you achieve that claymation look?

I am working on a promotional pilot project where we are copying a clamation video, done for the client, but doing it in 3D instead. We need to achieve that claymation look which we believe we can do throught the use of basic materials and bump mapping. What else dod you do to your textures?????

[Abhinav3d]

Hey Man..
LOOks good..
I love the style and the look of the character..

Keep it up

[Sqwall]

Very good man ....

Yep he is one hell of a sportsman :rolleyes:

[loked]

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the awesome replies!!!:thumbsup:

LowJacK: To answer your question, I never really did anything exrta to achieve that look:( Its more just a question of the lighting and the mood. If you look at the earlier renders of him, he doesnt have that same clay feel. Its really just the lighting and the mood of that scene and him.

Hey All.

I just did some new renders that I thought were really cool, so I decided to just put them up.

Enjoy:thumbsup:

Damn dude... That's sick. I think that the basketball should be more towards the tip of his fingers when he is "palming" it at the end of the anim. Nice work.

[Rubberduckie]

kewl...nice style u put into ur model. Very nice...:thumbsup:

[ajsfuxor]

wow loked, looks really cool. Especially the court, has a nice look to it...except the lines seem to be painted too thick on the court. The charatcer looks awesome, very stylised. Whats this for? A Short?

[Tilstrom]

great work, that's cool.

[Salaadin]

thats a nice model and the textures too..if he is already riged then you should give him some cool poses and post them..

[facial]

Ah ! Interesting images here. Keep post up more. :wip:

[PauHana]

Cool character! If you don't mind, I noticed some things about the animation while watching this clip.
There's some problems with the timing on his weight shifts.
His left foot looks kind of funky and isn't really reacting to him. There's some popping in his left arm.
His feet move around when planted.
Watch out for twinning.
A couple more passes on the animation and it'll be sweet!


Peace,
PauHana

[loked]

Hey All,

Thanks for the comments and crits. I've been so swarmed with work lately, that I haven't really had much time to work on it, but I'll definitely get back to it when I get a chance.

hey Loked pretty cool man, love basketball so it' feel great to see some character like that.
Question what is it rendering with..mental ray? look like it but could be wrong..very exellent stuff anyway.

cheers

[Werner]

Cool character loked! The "e" symbol reminds me of Engen...am I right?

Where in JHB are you?

[loked]

Hey thematt,

Some renders are MR other are standard Maya rendering. The court and the animation is standard Maya. Most of the faces are MR.

Hey Werner,

Yup thats right. It is Engen. It was supposed to be used for a show they have, but unfortunately there were some problems. I'm sure you know what the SA industry is like.

I'm based in Randburg. I share the same offices as Depth Animation. Have you heard of them?

later:wavey:
loked

[Werner]

tell me about it...I hope the sa 3d industry picks up.

Yeah I've been to Depth Animation website...cool stuff.
Are they a Maya house as well?

Any updates on your character?
:buttrock: :beer:

[loked]

Hey Werner,

Yes, Depth is completely Maya based. As a matter of fact one of the owners actually used to work for Alias|Wavefront back in the day. Really a cool enviroment. You should come through and check us out one of these days!

Dont have any updates on the character, but I'm busy working on some stuff I'll be posting soon:thumbsup:
