This is Scene 04 shot 08. A tv notices a very attractive lamp.
I don't use v-ray. this is layer rendering in action

Here is a movement test of the dance club shot 01-05 update 05





Here is also Scene03 Shot 01

The lamp and TV look great, the other shot is also amazing, except the one shadow on the corner building at the back looks a little...unnatural. But honestly, that is amazing.

Re: Off-season Projects in 3D Animation
 

Other animators normally point out the building, or the shadow that is in the background. But you have to realize that this shot is only 77 frames long at 30 fps. Which comes to a grand total of 2 1/2 seconds. Plus the car that they are driving in is flying down the street at 60mph. What your looking at is a still frame, you have time to study the building in the background. The audience will not have that opportunity.

more renders yay!!

scene at the bar with the Flamboyant German Blender.

The glows, the reflections, all the fine details on every single one of your renders look AMAZING, that has to be said

Sadly, there will be no more updates on my current project on Chiefdelphi. Everyone continue to work with 3ds max and do off-season projects, its the only way to get better at the program.

Re: Off-season Projects in 3D Animation
 

Alright, so, due to a scuffle with a teacher at school, I had no 3ds Max at home. Due to his technical ineptitude, he failed to install one of the licenses, which I have now claimed for the betterment of all mankind :P. So, with no further pomp, I present to you my first crappy model of the year.



I was basically just testing to see if I still can use the program. About 3 hours total, including major distractions. I didn't make the head thing it's around. I did a FG render, but to be honest, it looked worse than this one.

Re: Off-season Projects in 3D Animation
 

I graded your project. There are some things I'm pointing out that will help you.

Re: Off-season Projects in 3D Animation
 

Well, my head in the file has so many unconnected vertices and is just generally utterly messed up. Since I don't want to start it again, does anyone have a head model they want to donate?

I volunteered (or was volunteered) to create the FIRST Tech challenge game animation again this year.

This year's game is called "Face-Off" and uses street hockey pucks for the playing element.

I asked Eric, a returning senior on our animation team to create a "cartoony" robot. He sent me this "HockeyBot":

Nice job!

Re: Off-season Projects in 3D Animation
 

Nice, besides the slight pinching on the hands, there is nothing wrong with it. Just make sure its animated well. I would hate to see something like that become non-appealing just because it isn't animated well.
