Stick Man Animation
 
Well I have decided to drop my mexican projecct for now because Dragonhawk wanted to do a combined project with me :)
This project is going to be a cell shaded, samurai stickman animation. We still dont have much of a plot but were working on it. Sadly Dragonhawk has went on holiday and will be away for the next 10 days or so and left me in charge of the project, he asked me to model characters, weapons clothes etc... so here is my progress so far:
a dagger type thing

a samurai sword

Comments welcome as always :)

Rubber chicken you are a man of many talents, cel shading looks good.
Will be nice to see the animation.
cheers

Cant take much credit for the cel shading as its just a standard toon shader that I have optimized slightly... but thanks :)

Another dagger: (top default shader- bottom cel shaded)

Looks cool so far mate! But what where the stickmen made out of? or did you just lower the diffuse?

RubberChicken 24-08-2004 03:54 PM

Yeh diffuse is set to minimum.

Looks nice and original m8. Cant wait to see them going at it:)

twisteddragon33 24-08-2004 11:26 PM

i think i have that knife in the bottom:)

RubberChicken 25-08-2004 04:26 PM

FrenZy: thanks :)

twisteddragon33: This is actually a very popular shape for a knife... I seen it in countless films, cartoons and even shop windows but why you have this type of knife I do not know :eek:
*scary* :D

Anyway I was hoping to update this thread today but I just couldnt find the time to do any work on this project :(

Looking nice man, I tell ya the best toon shader ever though, the one they got in Futurama, that stuff looks just like a cartoon.

hi RUbberchicken!
I'm posting here from Bavaria (away from maya :( ) and want to tell you that you are doing grate stuff!i'm slowly doubting that there s a need for me :)......I think of the storyboard and the environment/streets the story shall take place.

RubberChicken 26-08-2004 08:36 AM

Zyk0tiK: Yeh that futurama shader is quite amazing, shame they cancelled the series... :(


Dragonhawk: Im glad you like it :) and dont worry there is still pleanty to do on this project so I will need you when you come back. BTW I hope your having fun in Bavaria

Back to the project now. I have made a few new stick men characters but there isnt really much point posting any pics as all these stickmen are just very similar to each other. Need a brake from maya, but tomorrow I will hopefully get some envoiroments done :)

RubberChicken 27-08-2004 10:38 AM

OK I have started on a simple cartoony envoiroment, still got a fair bit to do but here is what I got so far:
