The purpose of this project is to create a series of detailed animations using Blender. The story behind the animation
project is a number of characters that will be introduced into the storyline and how they will relate to each other as the story progress. I plan to have at least 25 characters and each one will be a tribute to certain anime or video game characters that I have seen in the past 15 years. I know that this will be a daunting task, but I don’t have that much of a choice in the matter due to the fact that either everyone is doing their own thing or I can’t find experienced people to help me out. So currently this is a solo project until I can get some willing volunteers. This project is going to span over 3, if possible, websites ending at Youtube as the place where the series, if completed, will be posted. And just to show that I’m serious about my idea, here’s all of the images of the models that I created so far.
Update time! This time I have accomplished on what I wanted to do on getting an anime look with a touch of realism. So here are some pictures on the work I’ve done in the past 24 hours. The hair took me a while, but I found my method!
It’s difficult to be the lone active member of this project. At first, I thought modeling is difficult. Animation is just as worst. It’s very difficult to get a animation demo reel together when you cant get anything the way you want it to work. I could ask for help but everyone is doing their own thing.This is one block in the road I will have to take a detour on. So for the time being until I can master animation or find someone to guidance, I will not be animating any characters.
Good luck with the project, you are surely pumping out a lot of work. I would suggest writing a script, and drawing up some storyboards, then you may have something to show to potential teammates.
Way ahead of you on that one. So far the script would be the last thing I have to deal with. Drawing storyboards shouldn’t be much of a challenge. Right now, my first priority is to get the 25 characters made. So far I have a list of names who would be in this project. But keep in mind that it wouldn’t limit to this website. I’m going to need some voice characters in which I got that part covered. I got a realiable source. The music however is the hurdle I have to jump over.
Alright, so here’s another update for my project. I decided to go on ahead and reveal what my first tribute is going to be about. It’s going to be based on the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, a personal favorite of mine and the reason why I love the Super Sentai series. However, it’s going to be completely different because I’m going to combine some of the story elements of Sailor Moon as well. The first part of the series is going to be the assembly of the team just likes how the Sailor Scouts go together. In fact, here is what one of the outfits will look like.
As you can see this is the idea of the morphed version of one of my male characters for the series. I will be creating a female version of the outfit, but it will take some time for me to make it since I have to recreate the chest place first. Well, now you know more about my project. I’m currently creating the city for the project and already working on the school.
Alright, it’s been nearly a year since the last update. But I haven’t strayed from my task but it’s still slow going. I’ve been busy recreating, studying, and observing different types of media to help realize my vision. Modeling some of the characters was the easy part. Creating environments? Quite a challenge indeed. Animating the characters? Well, that’s where my weakness lies. Anyway, here’s a series of pictures that has been uploaded to show what I’ve been working on the past 11 months!
This is my third character, Urika. She’s kinda have a quriky kind of behavior, but she has an optimistic behavior. I haven’t gotten a hair color for her yet. I’m going for a dark blonde color. Still got more to post. So stay tuned!
