Thank you guys, I will need all the luck I can get :slight_smile:

Okay, since it’s been very lonely in here… I figured that I will record
what I’m working on as I work, so that I can have someone to talk to :blush:

I will post the videos in parts as I go… Here is the first one.

If you still need help with animation, I´ll do it.
Yeah, I feel bad for having left the proyect suddenly, and I don´t want Omar to take all the credit :wink:
Congrats on your new “model”! xD
You will have to fill me in a bit, because I forgot everything, sorry.

#1025

Congrats on the new addition man that’s really cool :thumbsup:

You should get a lot done now because there is going to be no sleep for about 4 years hahahaha.

Good luck!

PROOF:

… :smiley:

anyways, great stuff omar. your voice (yeah that will sound a bit creepy from a internet stranger ;D) is just awesome, even if you´re a little bit irritated. heh

If Juan is back then he will take over the last 2 shots.
That means we will be home free !! :bounce:

Well I guess I may not get to finish my video wips.
I guess then I will work on making the set look good for rendering.
Maybe I’ll make videos of that stuff instead. :shrug:

Juan, I sent you an e-mail. So I can get you up to speed.
Oh, and thanks, yep my new “model” was made without the use of my hands
and lots of fun to make if I may add. :drool:

Kid-Mesh:
Thanks Mr.Hollis… you have a good point, maybe I sleep too much anyway. :wise:

Ruben:
Yepper, that is the key… muuuuwhaahaaahaaaaa :twisted:
Just one click on that secret menu and BAM!!! MAGIC !!
Dude, I don’t consider you a internet stranger.
You have been hanging out with us here from the start.
Just as long as I don’t start to get strange phone calls
late at night asking me what am I wearing. :surprised

Keep hanging out with us and I may let you in on some more kool top secret stuff. :cool:

Looks like this year is off to a pretty good start. :beer:

Dude, you should be more romantic, girls like that stuff, xDDD (just kidding)

I am doing my planning, but I realizad I don´t have the girls ball, I didn´t keep a backup of my other files, sorry. And I have some questions:
The models don´t have any facial anim, right?
is this the rock on ::bounce:?
and last thing, the skateboard, at the end, the kid will let it go when jump off it or grab it somehow? would we animate the bounces when he is riding, or just think the floor is completely flat?
I´ll be away till wednesday, and the week after I am going to stockolm for work ( to do some “Mo-crap”), so I won´t have anything done in a while, I´ll try to push next week though.

Have fun with the little one.

“Rock ON” is this one::buttrock:

The girls ball is in the file I sent you.
Just UN-HIDE ALL, and look in the fetch boys yard.

There will be simple face animation.
But there is no custom controls made for the face.
You will have to use the morpher to change the expressions
And there is a bone sticking out of their jaw, you will
have to move that to open the mouth.

We don’t need much face animation,

For the skateboard boy, We need happy smile with his mouth closed
then when he kicks the ball , happy with his mouth open.
And a few eye blinks.

For the fat kid, a few eye blinks, and then sad.

For the little girl, happy smile with the mouth closed.
Then when the boy kicks the ball, Cry with the mouth open.

There are morphs that will do the exact expression you need.
I can make more if you need.

Well in my head the ground is completely flat.
So no real need to make him bounce over the cracks.

When he jumps off, lets try to show the bottom of the board
so we can see the art work… he can flip it up or hold it under his arm.
But the truth is what ever is easy for you… It is not important that
we see the art work, but would be nice to see.

OK Guys, Its been a LONG time since i posted anything of use in here so here goes. Not even sure if it is still needed but if it is then WOOT!

I started this a while ago but could just get moving with it but tonight i managed to get something down that i liked. Hopefully it works OK for what it is needed for.

It is the Game Over Screen for the Game system when the boy drops it early in the movie.

I just used Flash for the animation as it was quick and i am used to it :slight_smile:
Click ::: HERE ::: to see it in Flash Format, if it gets the OK then i can export it in a format needed for the project.

OK Well let me know what you think… :smiley:

Cheers

#1034

Ha, Kool … We still need it for sure :slight_smile:

Okay I’ll try to be quick.

We need more “FLASHING” kind of like lightning. Or make the backdrop flash between
2 clours.

I don’t think we need the skate board, not that I don’t like it but we probably won’t be able to make it out. the screen is real small.

Next , over all we should focus on the game over text, so that should be really BIG in the frame. Or maybe even make the head stone real big, or just the skull real big floating
up and down like it is laughing… or loop it scaling big and small. ?

It should loop over and over…

Maybe we have the flames flaming up from the ground. with the text flashing on top
in front of it.

I don’t think the shot is long enough for all the stuff to scroll in. so they have to
be in place from the start.

I guess that was not that short… I tried my best :smiley:

#1035

So Basically in a nut shell…remove it all and change it to something else!! :smiley:

Good to see fatherhood has not changed you much Big O…LOL

I get ya though, something that will be a bit more impacting and will be easy seen in the shot. I will get onto that and make something new…mumble mumble :twisted:

#1036

Not sure what you guys are using this for…the game controller i assume??..anyways, just wanted to say it’s a cool flash page as it sits. :thumbsup:

btw, what software are you using to do flash ?

#1037

Hey SD,

Cheers for the comments, its just normal Flash to be honest. And very basic stuff at that, I never managed to figure out all that Actionscripting stuff although I have a mate who is very good at it.

Working on a New video at the moment so I will get it up as soon as I can. Should be a basic looping video with bright colours and movement (hopefully) to please Master Big O :smiley:

Cheers

Hello Again!

3 Posts in one night…I must be ill!

Ok here we go with Version 2 of The Game Over screen. I have changed it totally and tried to fit in more of the stuff Big O asked for…It Loops, It Flashes, There is a big Skull and a Big Game Over!! The Fire stuff is a bitch to get right so I thought I would leave it, chances are you would not even see it that well on the shot, BUT if you REALLY want it then I will give it a go…so let me know what you think.

I am off now to nurse my poor cramped hand… :sad:

Available ::: HERE[b] :::

[/b]Cheers

YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD FOR A SPANKING , YOUNG MAN !
[ Just testing out my angry father catch phrases ]

LOL, well you didn’t have to re-do the whole thing. You had all the right elements
to start with just needed to adjust the composition :rolleyes:

But I guess you wanted to make an artistic interpretation of me sitting
on a rock and a close up of you in the foreground bitching about making game screens :twisted:
Very realistic I must say :stuck_out_tongue:

I would also like to request the skull zoooming in and out, because it will be the
Movements that will be what catch the eye on the screen more then anything.

Send me a output of .jpg frames , I will test it out. :thumbsup:

#1040

LOL Your big daddy voice is indeed scary, I don’t think you will have any control problems… :stuck_out_tongue:

I know i didn’t have to change everything but I had the idea for the new one so i thought i would give it a go and it was a lot brighter to it would catch the eye of the viewer for the split second.

Glad you noticed the devil…I was going to give him an ‘O’ necklace but he was a bit too small to see it :smiley:

I will add the zooming skull and export out as JPGs tonight.

Cheers
