First ever character animation

Hey!

Couldn't get to sleep last night so at 2am i decided to do my first ever character animation..it took half an hour. Its weird, i can hardly remember doing this at all! I think i was sleep-animating! For a first try, whatcha think? It needs cleaning up..ill do that later.

QT .mov movie (1.3mb)

That looks painful... The animation looks good but I think you need to work on your gymnastics skills...

lol, that's pretty cool cybling. Maybe slow it down a bit or something, he does the flips extremely fast :p

Nice animation though :D

That looks painful

Ive seen a video on tv where a guy actually did that. I never laughed so hard in my life. It was "extreme elimination challege" i believe.

I love the shading. Nice!

hehe, i'm watching that right now (most extreme elimination challege), great stuff

good start cyb, still definitely pretty stiff in places tho. motionbuilder?

Thats awesome!!! good job... and very painful indeed...

Chris,

Yeah he's stil uber stiff, im gonna clean it up this week. Yup, Motionbuilder 4.2. My permanent copy of 5 is in the psot :D

cool stuff. i've been messing with 4.whatever a bit, can't afford 5 at the moment. actually playing with maya more, just getting the basics down. i'm not really wanting to get into maya that much but i'm realizing that's what most places use so its almost a must...

The MB 5 offer is over now by the way..it ended Dec. 31st so you'll have to cough up £3500 or something rediculous like that.

yeah, i know, they kept sending me e-mails trying to get me to upgrade its now $500US to upgrade if you already have the mb4 pe, expensive but not too outrageous, tho if i have that much cash to spend i'll prob be looking at either the LW8 upgrade (whenever that happens) or investing in an older copy of maya. not that that's gonna happen anytime soon
