hey that's pretty nice!!

one thing i think you could do is get some light sourcing on the ball when it goes blue.. but the face, cloak, arms etc all move and look fantastic!

do some more stuff that'd look great in a portfolio.

You know, it was better than I expected, that's for sure. (Most 3d animation I've seen has been really, really dodgy: No acceleration towards the end of movements etc.) The robe, of course, is a bit stiff, but cloth is a bit of a bitch to animate without plugins. I think I would like to see the elbows bend a little more when he's moving his arms, and maybe make him use his back and hips a little more when moving. The arms could perhaps make slightly broader movements, too. (And there were a couple of slightly dodgy camera cuts)

But ya, it was quite good, overall. Good work, keep at it. I especially liked the bit after he opened his eyes.

We do not have freedom. We have rules and oppression and where the oppression is less visible we believe to have found freedom.

wow! for your first attempt, that is really nice. Just wondering, what program did you model/animate in?
What I would change, though, is maybe putting a background or at least a platform where he can stand (instead of the thin black air ). Also, a little better lighting. Animators always use at least three lights. Im not exactly sure where they go (Im assuming one in back, one in front, and one at a birds eye view)... and like Affected said, the cloak seems a little stiff, but thats ok. nice work!

Siell�, siell�.

Tuota... M� itse kokolailla menin sis��n, mun arvosanoilla se oli helppoa. (Yl�asteella, ainakin mun yl�asteella oli helppo saada hyvi� numeroita: esim. historian alueella m� en viimeisen� vuonna lukenut l�ksyj�ni kertaakaan ja sain silti kiitett�vi� kokeista.) Siis sellainen ysin keskiarvo, kymppi kuviksessa ja suositukset kuviksenopettajalta ileisesti takas mun sis��np��syn. Mutta kuten sanottua, m� kyll� koen ettei mun arvosanat (Paitsi ehk� kuviksessa ja kieliss�) olleet kovinkaan ansaittuja, ainakaan m� en t�it� tehnyt.

Niin, sis��np��sy. T�m� nyt on ihan mutu-puhetta, mutta jos sun veljes on ns 'hyv�', eli lahjakkuutta l�ytyy jonkun verran, ja viel� arvosanat on kohtuulliset, ongelmia ei pit�isi tulla. Suosituksia kannattaa joka tapauksessa ker�t� kaikkialta, haittaa niist� ei ainakaan ole. M� en tied� tarkkoja valintaperusteita, esim. ottaako ne vastaan ty�n�ytteit� t�n� vuonna. Kun m� pyrin sis��n, n�ytteit� ei katsottu, ainakaan virallisesti. Mutta voihan niit� tietysti tarjota, siit�k��n tuskin on haittaa.
Jos haluat, m� voin kysy� opettajalta valintaperusteista vaikka huomenna, jos ehdin.

Joka tapauksessa, m� olen hyvin tyytyv�inen, ett� p��sin sinne: Opetus on melko vapaamuotoista, koulun henki on helvetin hyv�, ja aina v�lill� koulu saa erin�k�isi� ty�tarjouksia, jotka yleens� hoidetaan kilpailuttamalla. Voittaja saa siis homman, ja tietysti rahaa ty�st��n.
Kurssimaksutkaan eiv�t p��t� huimaa, siin� 30-40 mk/kurssi.
Se tosin t�ytyy sanoa, ett� t�m� Soili Heikura, nykyinen p��toiminen lukion kuviksen opettaja on j��m�ss� el�kkeelle, samoin kuin rehtorikin. M� en tied� kuka sen j�lkeen t�ytt�� sen paikan, yht� Ilpo Nybacka-nimist� opettajaa on v�h�n arvailtu, ja se on kyll� hyv� tyyppi.

Joka tapauksessa, toivota veljelles onnea mun puolesta.


Niin, jos veljes jotenkin sattuu kaupunkiin (Vai asuuko se t��ll�?) oppilaiden t�it� p��see n�kem��n 8-9. t�t� kuuta klo. 12-18. (Onko se per�ti seuraava viikonloppu? M� t�ss� juuri tulostelen erin�isi� kuvia n�yttelyyn.. )
Tuossa juliste, jonka sit� varten tein. T�ss� versiossa on viel� v��r�t p�iv�m��r�t ym., mutta osoite on oikea. http://affected.xs.mw/content/img/juliste2.jpg

affected : no, sen ka on jotain 7.9 tai silleen, mutta saipa suosituksia ihan kivasti opettajaltaan... jollei se sinne mene niin voipi olla ett� j�� toijalan lukioon mik� ei sitten kovin hauska paikka olekaan.
kiitosta.

hehe... im an idiot; i totally blew by the part where you said which program you use. But yes, I have AM. It is a very good program, but I found it very hard to learn by myself; i never was able to really grasp on how to model with splines. But now I use Mirai and Maya at my high school; Mirai's polygon modeler is great and it is a lot better in character animation than any other program... but of course, for the price, you cant beat Hash... and 2000 AM came out too with a some new toys

Thanks for the comments

about the cloak : yea, i know, it's not
animating well enough.. it is too simple
to make folds.
anyway.. i know there are some things
that are a bit busted, but i made this
for a school project and the deadline
is closing in so..

I made this witch thing with Animation
Master 99. It's a cheap ( around 250 usd )
3d software that has almost all the
features the "bigger" names have to
offer. find it at http://www.hash.com


affected : olitkos tuolta tammerkosken kuvataidelukiosta ? pikkuveli yritt�� sinne, osaakko kertoa kuinka vaikeaa pitk�lle kuvislinjalle on p��st� ?

Not bad, mister. I feel like sharing my latest 3D animation with you, complete with sound. It's high quality, so it's about 6.5 megs.
