October Challenge
 

I'm in, have not joined in one of these yet, so here I go. Thinking of what to do. I will take the door with scream and I guess I would be Normal (entry that is).

Welcome and good luck. Its rather hard to get it done on time, because you always feel like you can do better. Hopefully you wont have those problems.

Haha, you speak my language!! Thanks.

Banged out the character last night, here she is.

cool stuff. Looking forward to it.

Working on the blend shapes, Take no notice of the gap in the middle they are not the target.

here is another...Trying to catch up with the rest of you.

haha fab!

Thanks:)

She's set-up with her deformers and is rigged, need to paint weights now... uuuh.

The last of the motion tests, no more mucking arround, ready to animate. Building set next. I'm having fun with this!

Wow that's so quick and good! Can't wait to see a 'blast' of it! :D

Thanks, got to build scene first before I can play.

Looking really jolly, I wish Finalrig worked with Maya 4 (sound of sobbing). I like the character's expressions - loads of emotion!

Aah Witchy, this is my friends sight, he created it, want me to have a word??

Blimey there would be much heroine worshipping if you did! I read all about it and was most enthused before I read which versions it worked on!

I have enjoyed (if that's the right word) making my own in the learning sense, but it would be so nice to have a tool to take the pain out of it when you just want to get on with making things move. I tried Creature Tools but it tells me I am missing a dll, I am doomed on auto rigging!

Damn..Everytime I see models rigged and posed..just gets my fuel up more to learn it! Good job! Cant wait to see a test anim. =)

Thanks for the comments. Witchy I dropped my friend an email, we shall see what he can do.

whoah! That is looking awesome, nice expressions!

Looks great!

I laughed so much as i scrolled down the previous page and saw each stage that u posed ur model. Very expressive. I look like that at times, I can tell u :)

Look forward to seeing more

Thanks for the comments guys.

Ahh, a Final Rig user. Emmy, Ahmed and Alvaro will be pleased. :)

Setting up for the opening shot. Question; how do I smooth out these shadows? I have upped the dmap to 2500 it helps but still many pixels. Any other way or tricks without bumping up the dmap to the max??

Try up'ing the tesselation of the models a bit.

Done that.

It' sorted, I decided to get up of my bum and get my digital lighting and rendering book (the bible - one of). My filter size was too small.

Hello there, animated 50 frames of left hand. Comments appreciated:)

Looks like a good start. :)

I have not posted for a while. Here is an update. She's all dressed up and in action, playblasts are toooo big to post so here is a still.

P.s. will add smoking particles to head if time allows:)

heh heh. I like it - nice expression!

I'd scream too if my head was on fire. :)

Nice job, and as howard said, nice expression. I think the hip looks like it bends a bit awkward, like rubber, some fiddling with weights should fix it.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll check on those weights!

Got the smoke working for the first part need to render and composite the second half:)

Very cool. I like the kicking chair and falling chappy. Excellence.

Ahhhhhhh.... scary. :D

Hahaha, awesome.

Very nice sense of weight and great timing.
Well done, it's fantastic!

That's jolly; as Chris said the sense of weight is really nice. The facial expression is great!

Thanks for the possitive remarks guys:)
