Yet Another Super Wu Man

Looks very nice!

Have you modelled the motorcycle yourself? Or is it downloaded? It just look like a motorcycle you can download from turbosquid.

Anyways.

Smooth shadows, and in the final a little bit smoke coming out of the tailpipe.

yep i downloaded the hawg from turbosquid, i must say, it is a killer model, my congratulations to whoever made it, because itā€™s a pleasure to work with. no weirdness like many other downloadable models seem to have. but, yeah, iā€™ll definately add a particle emmitor, i think i need to scale super wu down a touch too, but this was basically just a test to see if everything was working properly. ordinarilly btw, i would model the bike myself, but like i said, this was a great model, and it seems to fit super wu somehow. I may change the colors a bit though.

haha, thats so funny, the lighting and materials look awsome in you animation set up, it almost looks like a wooden puppet or somthing, haha!

maybe in the next test he can pop a wheely, haha, excellent stuff man, it would be cool too to see the bike match the colors of his outfit,

i would enjoy this even if i was not wu-man, or even wu? who am i again, too many names to remember? oh well this is excellent stuff regardless!

I couldnā€™t resist doing a wheelie test

Rofl. :smiley:

dont hurt yourself

I actually did hurt myself once while rolling on the floor. Pathetic.

Back to topic, Modron: Iā€™d really love to see a cape on him. I know, you donā€™t want to make one, butā€¦ pleeeaaaase? :]

See http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/ClothSimulation#Patches_.26_Binaries for nice cloth :slight_smile:

I agree (but I wonā€™t beg like Jobbeā€¦ but since he begged like a little girl I figured that should be enough). Do you have any idea how cool that would look while riding his motorcycle? Very cool. And itā€™s absolutely not hard to do.

But ask someone else to explain, cause I have to go to bed nowā€¦

Good work, man

Sago

Well, I agree it would be good, I am just trying to avoid anything overly time consuming. But youre right, he could really use one, Iā€™ll have to do a test, to see if I can do it with soft bodies, and still keep it economical.

no you did not just have him twist the handel bars, dude you are killing me, haha! somehow this reminds me of the characters from nightmare before christmas, just in the way you have the lighting and materials, very realistic and beliveable as a small little toy.

this thread is so freaking funny! twisting the handel barsā€¦dude you have gone too far! HAHA!

some modifications on sagor.

ok, hereā€™s a quick test anim of sagor, Iā€™m getting some different ideas about the plot now, it may have a sort of mad scientists secret lair thing going on now.

youā€™re killing me man, keep it up.

I did a cape test on my WuMan model and with little effort it showed promise. For a really cartoony character like yours it shouldnā€™t be too difficult.

I ran a chain of bones down each side of the cape and then made two shape keys randomly moving parts of the cape - mainly the botton edge, ā€œup and downā€ and throwing the opposing keys in - offset at five-frame intervals (or thereabouts).

Canā€™t wait to see where this is heading.

Sorry if I scared anyone, contrary to some rumours, Iā€™m still alive - though I do have a melon-sized headache :wink:

any chance we will hear some of what the story is? hopefully not too vulgar, Iā€™m sure if it was up to sago it would be some kind of cg porn, lets donā€™t let that happen, donā€™t forget the good name of wu is in this, some vulgar is good thoughā€¦

what happened to sago babies face? haha, i think the beakless face worked pretty well, are you going to have him morph? that would be cool, the baby chair is cool too, but i thought you were going to put huge rockets on it, haha, that would be awesome!

sorry i cant help with the female voices, but i would love to do the wu man voice! and give a live wu-man intro to the animation if you want, sago should do a voice too, but iā€™m afraid with his bad dutch accent and his love for voice synthesizers you wont be able to understand a damn thing, trust meā€¦i know from experience!

andydā€¦ahh you escaped, i thought a meteor hit my backyard, but i guess it just turns out you dug your way out and your huge jello head left a huge crater in my back yardā€¦ahā€¦whateverā€¦you suck anywayā€¦

Btw, the people I showed Space Slug Attack had a hard time understanding me, you and your entire gaycrew. JK, haha, LMOA, :b, ROFLMAO, LOL

meatpuppet- understand thisā€¦wuā€™s movies are to be felt not understood, language is too barbaric to communicate the vison i want the audiance to feel, it is only through artistic brilliance in performance that my true vision is realized, if you and your caveman friends knew anthing about the higher art of acting you would understand thisā€¦but you are just a sagoā€¦not a wuā€¦pittyā€¦such a pittyā€¦by the way do you still talk to Dee?

WHAT?! You call my mum a caveman?!.. wellā€¦ I guess youā€™re right. No point arguing thatā€¦

Who the F is Dee?

now sit down, and SHUT UP!!
