Hey Moochie, I know Joe is busy right now - the answer is yes, concerning the stills into a sequence. They do have to have sequential numbers, but that is rather easy! You can email me directly if you like and I will be happy to give you all kinds of tips for H.264. :wink:

Thanks for the feedback
Dusty business all day, we’re in the middle of a rehab-demolish on the back half our building.
It’s nice to settle in and enjoy the silence now…

Abyssis hey thanks, too kind, seems we’re all learning a lot from each other on this great forum. :sunglasses:

Bas I couldn’t resist! a little preview of YOUR GOOSE… hahaha

lol, your goose has a sexy tongue… and He’s a horn blower too!
That’s a super character you’ve created.

Moochie Good to hear from you, thanks, and yes as Jason mentioned you can import an image sequence into QT7… go File > Open Image Sequence.
Perhaps he’s already explained all the steps by now?

You can use the free IrfanView for batch coverting, renaming, renumbering image sequences.

The major jaw movements are from rigging.
The jawBone rotation drives the lower face’s geometry,like in nature, and zspheres. :wink:
Usually it needs tweaking a little with a corrective morph. Hope that makes sense.
I’ve tried the wide open mouth position in the past using a morph, but had problems with the influence of other morphs wrecking it’s open shape.
Also you can parent the lower teeth and tongue to the jawJoint for a simpler setup. Check a few pages back in the thread for some pix showing that.

Seb, salut, glad you liked the latest version. Still needs to be more dynamic somehow.
I like your idea for changing him…Maybe the color map could morph to different skin tones at certain beats?
Not the overall mesh geometry, maybe just the color tones, and perhaps the hair color too. I’ll run some tests to see. Thanks Seb!

Jason Thanks for covering for me while the dust was flying lol, I’ll contact you about your tips for H.264… much appreciated. :+1: baz_Kipje.gif

‘Woohaaaaa’ ‘Woohaaaaa’ ‘Woohaaaaa’. That’s funny, Bas and joe_seig…and Melanin is COOOOOOOOOOL !!!

Joe without doubt the monst entertaining render I’ve seen. It goes without saying that the style of the model is …well its fabulous. But the way its ben presented realy catches the eye. As for the colour change all I can say is nice one mate. I really want to see the rest now.:smiley:

Wayne…

This guy seems so alive - creepy but cool nontheless!
The animation is nicely done, but I think the lip-synch needs some touching up. Oh, and thanks for the information on Quicktime’s H.264.
I have it, and was looking to use it, but wasn’t quite sure of how to go about it until now. Keep on rockin’!!! :+1:

A skintone possibility. I’ll try others. Thanks ZappLink…
No hair, eyebrows, or lashes here, trying to rework those parts.

Craig Ward Bas Mazur’s Goose, the .gif is from the 6 poses that he posted.
(Hope that’s okay Bas :slight_smile: … I’m so in love with that goose - onk onk). :+1:

Wayne Thanks a lot mate, I’m trying to work out the color changes, then more rendering.
Should be able to do the blending in post with AfterEffects. Sorry you’ll have to wait lol.

Webhead I’ll definitely agree with you, the lip-synch can be touched up in a lot of places.
I have actually reworked more of it, just haven’t rerendered.
Hey glad the links on the H.264 encoder were helpful.melaninSkinTone3_Jseig.jpg

with the color…my first thought was of Laurel and Hardy…can never remember which is the skinny guy…but pictured your dude with a bowler.:D:roll_eyes: like the name states…am nuts!

…of cool prog of Recolorization?
Seems magic :sunglasses:
If you scroll the page example of movies are show !
Pilou
Ps I will think for a french song :smiley:

Hey joe, your small animation made me laughin and laughin:lol: :lol: :smiley:

What do you think 'bout my last work?

aminuts oh yeah that would be Stan Laurel, the skinny one. Just checking out some pix of him, you’re right! Also maybe Buster Keaton in there somewhere? :laughing: Good eye.

Frenchy very cool! I’ll look at that soft closer, looks very useful.
Hope you can think of a song, but please no Johnny Hallyday :smiley: , yet Serge Gainsbourg is cool :+1:

Abyssis heheh glad you laughed!

Here the prog
Prog + Doc + Theory (1200* 1000 max)
And my speedy test !
That’s works perfectly :sunglasses:
The trick is to load a BMP image in Colors (and not a grey level image!!! I have losted 10 minutes to find that!:roll_eyes:
Import BMP, JPG, PNG, PMG
Pilou
Ps Gainsbourg :sunglasses: of course : I will find a cool song for you :slight_smile:Recolor.jpg

I have find it !
Comic Strip by Serge Gainsbourg :sunglasses:
Very well adapted of your animation :smiley:

A man like that were a very cool guy !
The brother of Melanin of course :wink:
Serge Gainsbourg by William Klein

Frenchy merci bien, beh oui ils se ressemblent…I knew you would see it! :smiley:

Okay “comic strip”, I think I have it at home somewhere. I’ll listen to it again.
and Thanks for showing me the software, I’ll explore later with it.
Cool Frenchy! :+1: sergePetit.jpg

That’s a cool app Frenchy Pilou. Of course a good app like Photoshop or Gimp can do that as well. Photoshop for example sees no colour at all, only levels of grey - since day one. Oh my that makes me sound old. :wink:

Back to work Joe - wrecking stuff is fun and should not be left to those that can’t appreciate it. Love your character here by the way. :wink:

good app like Photoshop or Gimp can do that as well.

…not with this sort of way :slight_smile:
…or with a maybe with a special plug in like this one :roll_eyes:

I was wondering where this wonderful crazy guy has gone to:

Yainderidoo :slight_smile:

love how much character he has…

looks great

Ok, I’ll try to keep it short this time -Sir Belec must be regretting the day I stepped in his thread-

It’s funny how things start to make sense to me -no, I’m not talking about Zbrush / looong way from that- but some respectable names connect with some great images I’ve seen randomly in the zgallery and Mr. Seigenthaler’s no exception… in fact… he’s the one I have in mind when saying: OH MY PLASTIC DUCK! THAT’S F-blip-NG AWESOME MAN! YOU SURELY MAKE MY SPRINKLER GO OFF DUDE! … wait… that didn’t come out very well… huh!.. I think I’ll stick with the formality

Melanin… one of the best images I’ve seen so far… keep up the great work Mr. Seigenthaler… see you in Sir. Belecs Thread

PS.
-yes… I’m stalking you-
Muuuahahahaha

can we vote favorite thread?? This one has my vote!!! please don’t give up on this wip!!! i’m beggin for the finished video!

Not only yours is a very interesting subject, it’s also technically challenging because of teh peculiarity of the skin.
I really like it, especially the balance you found between stylization and realism, very nice. my congratulations!:+1:
