It's looking good RC, is this going on your site when it's finished?

Are you going to have a drunken master, or anyone fighting drunken style?

You bet :) Im going to divide the site into 2 sections, one for space wars and one for this, if me and dragonhawk are ever going to finish this :D its proving quite a chalange, but dont worry I rather slit my veins (nobody get any crazy ideas) than give up!!!!!

Well I dont know, I will have to consult this with dragonhawk, he is picky :D

hey dragonhawk... i think one of the problems with the color scheme on the building is most likely the blue.. i think if you put a darker boarder around the window (like black) it would allow them to stand out more and also mix better with the rest of the building.. i have no experiance with cell shading or toon renders so correct me if i'm wrong

"Well I dont know, I will have to consult this with dragonhawk, he is picky"

I'm picky?well....i just choose the best for the movie and try to ride it into the best way......

Psuedo Realizm i'll take your idea and i will just try it out with a darker boarder ......

hi guys!
have been very busy with school but i did something in maya too!!!
i have completly modeled and rigged a character which plays a key role in the clip but i don't want to show pics of him....not yet...

well i also made the windows a bit darker and i thing now it fits with the other colours of the building.....now i model the street and the surrounding where the action takes place!!!!

well i decided to do something on the outwards of the building....its not done i thought....slowly its complete....

Shouldn't the writting be in mandarin or cantonese?

you didnt use the maya vector right?

If i would write it in mandarin or so noone of this community or surely the most were unable to read it....true thing??

I didnt use maya vector...should i?if so what would be better?

I think there is way too many signs... One big sign at the main entrance would be enough.

hi!

The maya vector renderer uses too less of the colour information given in the ramp file of the toon shaders....here is a picture...
But before i wanna say that ill delete all signs except one at the entrance....

Rubber: why dont u go online on msn???

nice. when is the animation gonna be out

yea, youre right about it losing color, but i was thinking there would be something out there that would be better for cel shading...
Your shader makes it look as though someone colored it in with marker or crayon, but mabye thats what your looking for? or mabye i just need to see it animated, but heres a good cel shade pic from zelda..

It seems like their cel shade actually has a layered shade to it, and the shading is a bit smoother, where as in yours its sharper.

hi!
For me the whole building was a bit too bright so i made it more dark ...i also added the street and begin to do the surrounding.....

Well we still have a fair bit to do, this is taking longer than I have expected because crappy school is sucking away most of our free time... :(

the building looks much better.

I started working on the interior of Dragonhawk's building. Here is what I have cooked up so far:
This will be the bar area

NICE u are gonna have the glasses being throwed around right. lol

Yes, glass flying in every direction you can possibly think of :D

most of the time I can think of 360 degree's X 3 of direction. glass flying.. cool.

hello guys!!!
I will change the building...it will have a wall on one site...
Image will not follow... :P

RC if u read this two things execute 'em plz
(i write em here because you didnt come online the last few days like me which slows down our process):

1.send me your sky sphere(with nurbs clouds etc.) as mail to me (termiantor4U@gmx.de) need to complete the surrounding of the town
2.you saw the current town and you agree with the result but for me it dosnt fit to all the rest cell shaded...so plz send me also the building used in the preview(I hope you didn't combined the buiilding into one geometry...hope u left the wood selectable as a separat part).I want to variate the position and copy it a few times in my town .....thx a lot

Hello there you lovely people :D I have an update for you, nothing fancy just made some more interiors for the building. aghhhhh so little time so much school!!!!

This is where most of the fighting will happen :)

yeah! looking good there guys.

sorry havent been in here for a while :(

that last image look like my work place - ( with all the "knives"in the back :) )

keep it coming!

LOL , thats just crazy. I'm likeing it.

HA! Cool. Space Wars was pretty damn funny and I think this new short of yours is gonna rock!

Can't wait to hear your sound editing

Keep it rollin' guys :tup:


Dave

Thanks everybody :)

swankymonkey Im glad you liked Space Wars.
Personally I cant wait to start sound editing but there is still so much to do... sigh

they have alot of stuff in them, no blood, very interisting, but ey, i dont mind clean movies

Argh i just saw Hero today and i think i need to start a kung-fu based project. Maybe even a long term animation over the next few years. Although i'm going to go for realism. I think i may do the story of how Pak Mei a former taoist monk killed 4 shaolin monks to prove that his style, White Eyebrow kung-fu (now a forbidden style) was the best.

Good luck with your animation ckyuk. I myself would never be able to do a long term animation tho, I find it very hard to stick to a project for more than a few months.
BTW Is it not "Pai Mei"?

No, Pai Mei is the character from kill bill vol 2 (and an old tv series). Pak Mei really did exist and is supposed to be a true story (i think).

Heh I see you know your kung-fu :D I would really like you to make an animation about pak mei so get cracking!!! :D
Not that Im putting any pressure on u.

I think they're training dummies as that's what it says.

and as for putting pressure on me, pressure's great, it'll help get the animation finished.

can't wait till you finish! is it done yet?... how about ...NOW! is it done now?... or how about nOW?


Cant wait :D
