Mancandy Bad Manners - deemed offensive but i think its good

The last one is nice, but a bit too offensive. Would you please remove it or only add the link and not show the image directly. I’m not really happy with that sausage.

Lol i did the last one in an animation i showed to about 10K people :stuck_out_tongue:

would love to see this stuff animated. doing pose-to pose animation works really well, it is fairly easy to make expressive poses, and then fill in the gaps afterwards.

AniCator: sure, sorry if it offended you in anyway, i did at least say it was deemed offensive though and will at least post a link it but it cant really do much harm, its still going to be viewed aint it

Alltaken: Really lol, yeah i would do this animated but so far i found mancandy’s controls really hard to move around so it could mean trying to create extra controls to fit me but i’m too n00bish to do it haha

okay i have another man candy render that i been working on this afternoon, it has the evil man candy’s on a production line and a man candy who is scared of the “army” that its about to unleash
I applied an array modifier to the evil mancandy so then it should quickin up the rendering time and then they could act as clones hehe hence the facial expression,
the scared mancandy is beside the line looking up at the evil mancandy and starts to become worried!

I think your main problem here is that it’s just mancandy.

i was going to do one with Lidwig being scared but i just couldnt get the arms to move lol otherwise it wouldnt be another all mancandy :slight_smile:

why don’t you make your own model?(don’t feel attacked, it’s just a question)

i have never been the modeller person you see :frowning: might actually attempt in jan!

LMAO here! Here’s my take on that last one. The Mancandy on the floor is surprised and confused by the extra appendage he sees on the evil clone. :eek:

i did addition to the mancandy Trouble pictur btw, havent had the chance to add it lol

okay, i stitched up some of my mancandy renders that surprisingly fit in really well with each pose,

is them all stitched into sequences of events!
enjoy!

ok really old topic, but today i did one more render of mancandy, yesterday i re rendered one of my other ones that appeared in the stitched up version of my mancandy render

Could you provide a link for those of us who’ve not seen it?

Like the shots - you should animate this storyline! When I saw Viralata’s “pencil sketch” node technique over at blendernation (and his excellent “crayon” animation) I thot that mancandy would be an excellent character to use to make artsy/sketchy looking animated shorts utilizing a similar technique. I was thinking something with a more light-hearted child-oriented theme, but yours could have an appeal, too, eh? :wink:

@mzungu i would like to but i’ve found mancandyv1 rig is quite hard to animate and i havent got it fully down yet!

okie who is ready for another mancandy render!
this one wasnt going to turn out as it did, but i got annoyed at lighting the dam sign i was going to have, but this one seemed better!

now i have another one but it has names on it speically for someone on IRC so i am not going to post it hehe
Enjoy!

Cool, great job with the facial expressions. Poor little guy.
Go on, mess with him some more.
Great work, seriously, you’ve found a great little niche here.
Facial Posing/Facial Animation (when you go there) are much sought after Artists in their own right in the CG world. By the looks of your renders you have a definite skill in this area.
Thanks M.A.

LOL!
Few months ago (May of 2006), in the community of NIEL-Blender Forums (http://niel.seyanim.com) we make a challenge between ManCandy vs. LudWig (another rig character).

You can see the images here:

Also as a special treat as i forgot a while back to post it and i don’t think its shown here,
it was made in December while we the blender community were waiting for Blender 2.43, Mancandy V1 was used naturally!

Hopefully there should be some more, so long as the ideas keep on coming then i should really add this topic to my sig!

Here’s one I played around with
