cool animation, i love how the eyes jump around realisticly(sp?). cant wait till I can do that in zbrush without needing another software package.

love that animation! :+1: :+1: :+1:

That’s a great face grassynoel! I agree with nukage. A Zbrush Animation Studio!! Dare we even dream so much? 50.

Looking great GrassyKnoll! Do you have Max 5? What tool do you use to draw splines onto the zbrush mesh?? Thanks. :+1:

At the moment I just draw splines onto the mesh with 3D snap set to vert and face and edge. I then attach them together and use a free plugin called hspline (made by habware) to set the same number of knots in each spline. I then use crosssection followed by surface (set to one level). Ad a little push to inflate the mesh a touch and add a meshsmooth modifier to the resulting mesh. I adjust it in or out to match the original mesh with the push modifier I added earlier.

There is also a plugin called glue from Itoo software that projects splines onto mesh.

Hope that helps.

Thank you all for your comments. I am working on some animation that I hope to post in the next few days.

Grassy

Very nice! I will be trying something similar with Animation Master once I get my computer back. :frowning: Great inspiration! :+1:

Here is an update of my hero guy. I built the head in zbrush and animated it in MAX. All the morph targets were made in zbrush… Cool.

I have a new animation test with lip sync on my site…

What a great animation! :+1: Are the above morphs all that was used in it? Very good lipsynching. Love the wiggly motion of the earpiece antenna :+1: :+1:

No, The pics above are just a few frames from the animation. I made about 8 morphs. a DBP an F an O-AW an OOO a SNEER a SMILE a FROWN a PUFFED-CHEEKS and that’s about it. I made the eyelid morphs in max as the roations were a little easier to control.

Glad you liked it. :wink:

great modeling I like this cartoon character. :eek:

Your animation is very fantastic! :grimacing: :grimacing:
I love your works :+1:
I want to make work like yours some day.
However, it does not know when it becomes.
Because I am beginner in 3D :frowning:

I am sorry that English is unripe.
My Homepage = N-style

Your english is fine. :wink: And you are not a beginner. I enjoyed looking at the artwork on your site. Well done.

Grassy

thats a fantastico animation, indeed! :+1: :+1: :+1: i part. love the antennas moves, and what great sync!

i had some trouble to locate it though, getting a 404 on clicking your link which reads:
http://www.3dluvr.com/glenn/new/Hero.htm

i think the correct path is
http://www.3dluvr.com/glenn/new/heroguy/hero.avi

right?

you might want to edit that link… at least others using antique browsers like me might have the same difficulties :wink: anyhow, bravissimo!

Hilarious!

What a great superdooper hero! Unfortunately, I couldn’t view the .avi – could you please re-post it in a .mpg or .mov format for your Mac-using brethren?

THANKS!
