Autodesk Visualization Prompt

Hey, I was just wondering when Autodesk releases the prompt for the visualization award. Do they release it on kickoff, or does it come a little later?

Re: Autodesk Visualization Prompt

It mostly comes out in the manual that they release at kickoff. I would not advise waiting till then to start making things for the animation. You can still model and rig your characters before the animation. Because you can use characters anywhere. It really doesn't matter if they fit, its animation, its suppose to be coo-coo

Actually that would make it more hilarious because it would be ironic.

Re: Autodesk Visualization Prompt

Thanks.

That's be great and all to prepare for the animation, but it'd be nice if I knew how to make characters! I'm still stuck on the modeling tutorials in 3ds max.

Re: Autodesk Visualization Prompt

They actually changed it last year. I think because of Autodesk's firstbase site they have more independent control over it. Last year it came out a couple days after kickoff, and this year the Calendar of Important Deadlines says it will be released on January 13th. So sad we have to wait that long.

Re: Autodesk Visualization Prompt

We are probably going to use the characters from last year because we don't have enough time to make new ones. Our latest animation can be seen here:

I really like the robotic guy in the cowboy hat, but the other more humanoid guys could use some work. Would it be easier to make a few changes to make them look better or should I just start over for next year?

Re: Autodesk Visualization Prompt

Interesting. I wonder why they released it 9 days in advance. I like having more time, but most of our animation team will now be split between brainstorming ideas for the robot and the animation.

Biomimicry. That's ten times better than last year's prompt. YAY!
