Geh. A week away and nothing exciting happens.



Geh. Anybody here have the skillset I am looking for?
type of skillset I'm looking for: http://www.box.net/shared/chnq7qi28doncdci8jzk

Because 3 hours for 3 seconds of animation is just fucking ridiculous.

Two ways out. Either you need lots of Korean guys to do the tweening or you need a PC to do it.

Welcome to the world of animation.
This is why anime studio's use shaded 3D models or have about 14 artists and do quality control of each frame.
Lots of People or Go Digital.

Going 3D or digital has it's limits as well... too much FX and it will take forever to render.
But too little FX and it looks ugly.

Hand drawn has it's limits each frame must be reconstructed.

Ever "thought" of using sliding still animation for calm parts.
Instead of re-drawing a whole frame re-use old frames any modify where possible version of that frame.

Create character sets with clothes and poses, props, ect "paper dolls" '<He gona play dress up' and scan them

Build a small capture studio.

Mount a HD camera on a Tripod and point it down look down at a blank white space.
This is your animation frame. "your play pen"

if you use a green or blue space you can cut out the back ground leaving behind

You could also do this digitally.. your digital play pen..
Where you can easily pre program effects and animation loops.

Get drivers for your camera ready hopefully it has high speed real time monitoring at good quality
Get 2 of the same type and size monitors will allow you to easy compare 2 stills.
You can now digitally add foreground and background scenes and objects.
You could in theory animate it all in 3D studio giving you an edge with effects.

Have fun.
Go anime.. i doesn't have to be anime.. but hell the techniques work.

Remember that terrible GM Shooter game i made.. Tyrain Rebirth.
The cut scene's were fun, and it was just random crap clumped together.

Hooray..
I have a ticket to collect mine as soon as it's released here.
But i need a new GPU.. seems the overclocking got to the ram.
I was thinking of the 6790HD from ASUS. should arrive in about 5 days.
I'm stuck on a ge-force that severely hates my board when doing graphics.
I'm not going to miss out on skyrim.

Been playing since elder scrolls 2.
I have elder scrolls 2 on my phone using dosdox.

Ladies and gentle men... i give you...


According to this Rock, Paper, Shotgun report the Source SDK will soon become free to use in its entirety, for everyone. The news comes from Team fortress 2 masterminds Robin Walker, who credits the upcoming release to the change in Team Fortress 2 to a free-to-play game.

The Source Software Development Kit contains all the tools you'd need to create a modification for a Source game including the Valve Hammer Editor, Face Posers, Model Viewers and more. The only way to gain access to the SDK right now is to purchase a Source-based game. The news came from a response Walker made to a Reddit thread about Zombie Panic Source and No More Room In Hell. Readers asked Team Fortress 2 developer Robin Walker if buying an item in the Mann Co. Store would give access to the Source SDK, He said:

"Yep. That said, your email has triggered a process here that made us re-examine that, and we’re going to just go ahead and make the Source SDK freely available. Thanks for making us better!"
Smart move.
RPS later emailed Walker and got this response:

"We are in the process of getting it all done. It’s a bit messy because we have multiple versions of the SDK, and there’s some dependencies we need to shake out. But yes, the gist of it is that we’re just going to go ahead and make the Source SDK freely available."

Expect an announcement about the SDK release sooner rather than later.

Hopefully it's some good news to 'ya all.

Smells like they caught onto the UDK free-to-use bandwagon along with Crytek, which is great :) all we need now is for idtech 4 to be open source when rage is released and then people will have a great beavy of AAA game engine to choose (both to learn from and use).

You're a fucking idiot. XD

Problem is, I'm fucking crazy with camera angles. I love the full camera motion. There usually will not be any calm parts.

I would love to do 3d rendering here, but that wouldn't match the style of this game.

And yes, random shit clumped together. Kind of like SHAFT animations. I figured out that much when doing those 3 seconds. I lost interest and so started working on another angle, and it actually flowed well.

I'm training one currently to draw. He's gone from stick figures to Akamatsu-style faces in 4 months. Does that count?
