Your work is great as your explanations.
Thank you for sharing your technique!

#108

whaou!! very nice

#109

Stuff like this makes me wanna give up on CG’s, it’s just too damn good :smiley:

What renderer do you use?

#110

Great work! One question, what method are u using to animate the robot? Character Studio?

#111

Hi! Thanks everyone for the input! Hold onto your hats too ;)…the “making of” is still in the making hehe I’m hoping to get to it tonight since I was at the beach all day and didn’t have time :smiley:

Hi Buga,

What renderer do you use?

Everything was rendered with the standard Scanline Renderer.

Hey +disciple*,

What method are u using to animate the robot? Character Studio?

The robot was animated with a simple custom rig. Basically, the head and flexible torso parts were just objects linked to each other (so FK)…and the arms/legs consisted of simple 2-bone Ik chains, (so IK).

Thanks again everyone! Your feedback gives me reason to continue on with these FX Wars challenges…because it’s great! :slight_smile:

nice work “theonlyt”

really love the deformations, animation and the general feel (game cinematic isn’t bad, it’s just different)

we are all waiting on a detailed tutorial from u…

although i think i figured it out, want to make it work with clothfx (clothextensions)
cos they are more stable and can handle more geometry

anyways great really great work

#113

Grean Animation and congratulations…

Well what can I say that you dont have allready hear in this days… :wink: … Well done …and I will wait to see this tutorial …

#114

could you please give some explanation about the deformation ?? what aproach you used to do the crash??, its morphed?? how?? used rb??
thanks

#115

u really use the 2.8G cpu and 1G ram? why doesnt it look not laggy. how is ur rendering time?

#116

My rigid body deformation tutorial is now online! You can find it here:

http://theonlyt.com/Main/Tutorials/Dynamics1/rbdynamics.htm

As for render times, it was about 30 seconds/frame overall…oh…and believe me azloha…it was incredibly laggy! :wink: hehe

Hope the tutorial helps!

#117

Great Tutorial, thanks Tyson!

#118

Sweet Tute, thx
Having a problem with the initial cloth animation, it keeps bouncing from the plane and flying off. The animation calculation times are insane, guess I just hvae to keep playing with it

#119

Hey everyone,

Just so people are aware…I’ve had to take the actual crash animations off my site temporarily, due to the fact that in the last 9 days I’ve exceeded 140Gigs of bandwidth transfer! (I’ve only got 127 in my quota). Hopefully my actual site won’t go down (so you’ll still have access to the tutorial) because I’m currently in the process of paying for some extra bandwidth to make up for the difference…but the crash animations won’t be back up until August.

Thanks again!

#120

hey Ask Cgtalk if they can host the video (and tutorial) for you.
Until you get the bandwidth back the way you need it.

#121

I should be fine with the tutorial…but if someone wants to mirror the anims that would be cool :slight_smile: …then again…no worries since most people have seen it already.

#122

oh jesus, u should approach a company to make a video tutorials going to be sold on the market.

i am serious…:bounce:

WHEEEEEE need more~!!

#123

I can host your videos, I have unlimited transfer and space.

I figured out the tute. I used a soft body instead of the cloth modifier tho, turned out similar.
