I should clarify, sometimes I'm either so tired (I usually work on this stuff after work) or excited to post it I just throw a post up quick and don't get all the info down. This was done with a switch layer, I had tried to set up the mouth to use smart bones, but wasn't having any luck with it, and...

Still very much an amateur at this. I noticed some problems after I had rendered this out(floating right ear grrr) thought I fixed it, plus the whites of the eyes kind of bleed out. And, need to work on my profiles for this guy. Learned a lot doing this one, (hopefully anyway). I tried to use smart ...

I think I saw a face rig test you posted of this on youtube a while back. Glad to see the final result! Awesome!

Very very very good! Really shows what this software is capable of.

Changed a couple things that I thought of after submitting to the competition, but wanted to improve it so here it is.

Thanks guys! The last word is Soiled, probably not the best font to use for that, but wanted the whole poster to look dirty, and I guess it does that ok.

And they keep on coming Just did my first 11 second club submission. Here it is!



Let me know what you think!

Yeah, I didn't want to rush it, but want to move on to other projects, and wanted to finish this one. So, when I had the problem lining up the particles at the end, I just let it go. It's all for practice for me at this point, lots learned on this one. And, thank you for the compliment, hopefully on...

OK, so I decided to ignore the problems I was having with gradients, and just go ahead with my limited schedule. Mostly I didnt want to rush this, but ended up probably doing just that. I ended up leaving out backgrounds because I was just interested in doing the character animation in this project....

Arrg....I tried the shaded fill effect, just don't like it. Think I have to make the gradient work to be happy so going to mess with it some more.

I liked it. Thanks for sharing!

ok thanks I'll give that a try, and let you know how it turns out

I actually purposly spread out the keyframes to make it look slow motion.....I thought it would be easier to get it right this way. I tightened them up in the project and it looks like a real run and not chariots of fire now.

I actually have it inside a switch layer with a straight on view as the other switch, and thats the master layer. And the switches are 2 bone layers. Other than that it's pretty standard setup, with a skeleton, and each piece (right arm, left arm, body, waist, etc...) all in separate layers.

Thank you for the response. I tried moving the gradients but it seems to have no effect. Its almost as if there is a shape under the layers that is showing up for some reason....but there is none. This character has been reworked a few times though so hopefully I didnt bug it out.
