Happy Halloween from Frank
 

Hey guys and gals, it's been about 2 weeks since my last post so here is my latest character......Frankenshhhhteen. He is very much a work in progress (I'll be doing a lot of work on sunday with him). He'll be making an appearance in my lastest matchmove.

I'm hosting my site now on my personal computer (business rate dsl), so images may be a little slow downloading.

Awesome work m8, really like the hands.

Coming along really nice!

Hey guys, thanks so much for all the nice comments!!! Here are some updates. I've shot the background plate, and I'm starting to create the wrap deformers now. More to come tonight and tomorrow.

Ok, he is now smooth skinned (still have some weighting to to), has 200 frames of animation, and I'm creating a few blend shapes for when he takes a tumble.

Here is the animation clip that will be imported into the matchmoved scene. Frank is obviously "out of juice" and falls after taking a few steps

Looks good! :)

hey thanks mike, I'll up the composite tonight sometime:beer:

Ok guys, here is the comp with the matched plate. I prefer to keep it black and white since this frankenstein was modeled from the old frankenstein of the 50's.

The animation is about 3.5 megs 720 x 480

His knees kind of jerk when he starts to fall to the ground.
