Hi Blenderheads,
one month ago, i finished my education to media-designer audio and video with my short-movie “Sisike und Makoto”.
I am working with Blender since one year now.
I postet the Movie on video.google, here is the Link: Sisike und Makoto
i am really sorry Jakeshuffle, but i cannot say how long i worked at this movie, but the most time i did spend in sisike, her rig and her facial expressions. It was the first time i animated a character with face-controllers and the possibilities in Blender to do this are impressive!
Calvin youre absolutely right! There is much to learn in animation. Next time i will focus more on the techniques of keith lango, i hope you all know him, if not, dont miss this link!!: http://www.keithlango.com/tutorials/old/popThru/popThru.html
and yes, superkoop, the skin is to much like wax. maybe i will use subsurface scattering next time
the glasses have a normal phong material with full raytransparency and the refraction index of glass (i think something around 1,5 is right…)
more informations about refractions here:
well, I didn’t really miss the talking, I really liked it, there was one part where it looked like the walk slipped, but the short is truly amazing, great expression in Sisike, she really shows her emotions well. Great work.
thank you for your nice words!
yes bgstratt, in this one scene where sisike walked to the telescope, her feet slip heavy over the floor (because of this i dont wanted to show her feet in this scene! :D). I didnt make any use of stride bones, or the walk cycle system, i was running out of time.
I enjoyed it very much! Excellent textures and modeling! The character animation could use a bit of work…but overall I think it deserves 5 stars! Which is what I gave it!
This was absolutely incredible! Great animation, and the set was wonderfully detailed!
Everything was done to a pretty high standard, so 5 stars easily!
Exactly my conclusion, great facial expression, the walk looked slippery to me too, but overall really good work!
It definitely would deserve a better video quality…
