Hi Gilles! Congratulations! There is so much exertion. Great to see it’s finish. Bravo! Cheers!

Yeeeha! That’s gonna be cool! Henster is an awesome character! When I see, I hear a movie trailer’s dark voice… “Those times… no hope…no way out…A new messiah born…to collect all desperated eggs and chickens to rule the world…it was called…Henster…and the henishment begun”

Ok, enough of kidding. GOGOGO :buttrock:

So girls and guys, here is my the grand final !
I put a making of at the bottom of my animation.
The music is from Riverside-Out of myself-Loose Heart.

Just few things about this animation:

First , why did I choose this character ?
There is a joke that I use to know when I was a teenager. It was this:

What is the cry of a 300 pounds chicken ?
The answer is:

PIOU PIOU !

So it is ridiculous ! But I decided to do it in 3D, a huge Chick ! But when I started to think about it, I told myself that the mother must suffer a lot to lay the egg of this monster. Is the mother of the 300 pounds chicken 1000 pounds or is she a normal hen ? So I decided that she will be normal with an anormal child…
Another idea was to make an animation of a werechicken. At full moon, the hen is laying and the chicken get bigger and bigger ! A cool animation with animated displacement could be done ! Maybe I will try this the next time !
So U understood that the idea of this animation was only a bad joke.

But there is a story behind this picture and animation:

THE WERECHICKEN:

In a very beautiful farm in the french alps, some terrible thing happened. A poor hen bringed to life a huge chicken at full moon. WE call him the Werechicken ! As you can imagine the poor chicken was hard to lay and his mother died during this horrible part of her little existence…
In the morning the chicken woke up and was looking for his mother. He called her name:

-Piou piou ! Piou piou ! Piou piou ?

No answer…

He was very sad, and alone…
You can imagine how long it took to him to understand what happened…
I think he still haven’t realized.
And somewhere in the french Alps, A huge chicken pecks seeds with his mother still over his head…

What a strange behavior…

#491

Nice one, good details explanation.:thumbsup: by the way, the Piou piou vioce really funny, love it.:slight_smile:

#492

Thanks Remko and Alvin !
I heard 17 days left ?
Cool to hear this even if I don’t know if I can push higher my composition. Maybe adding some particles…

#493

Really nice !!! And great making-of !
If there’s 17 days left, maybe you can render again the animation part where the characters shadows are a little bit too dark. And it’s a good idea about the particles to make sand or dust on the ground.

anyway, congratulations you’ve done a really good work and adding the gpepper’s touch ! It’s precious. :buttrock:
You have finished it ! :thumbsup:

then see U for the next one. maybe. (If i manage to start this one :rolleyes: )

Heyyah! Good to see all the things in place! Nice workflow, I like the way you used the strength of different softwares. That making of is so inspiring! Simply: Congratulations, great-great job :thumbsup:

#495

Wonderful, Gilles dear :slight_smile:

That is such a freaky shot - and the story also makes it really sad… poor Rambo, can’t find his mom.
I love the making of too, it’s some really nice tricks in your workflow. I’m sure a lot of us will benefit from it.

Congrats for the splendid finish :thumbsup:

Thanks Mark !

Thanks Gunie Dear ! :wink: I hope my way to work would have helped some of the beginners.

Although i did’nt post much in this thread, i was watching your progress.

It was great concept from the begining, and it become great finished piece. :scream:
Thank you for amaizing work and very intersting and helpful workflow. :thumbsup:

Congrats and good luck with voting.

#498

Thanks for the story… it’s the cherry on the cake…

I must agree with Tit-Co… if you have time… a little, that would be interesting to have the shadows “débouchées”…
…et + si affinités :scream: (voir suggestion dans l’Echoppe)

#499
