Thanks alot Sinemy! Caleb, what "off-the shlef" means in these Software group, is not realy off the local computer store shelf, but commercialy sold software, and not in-house developed code. Lightwave and 3D studio Max are between 1500 to 3500 U.S$, Softimage and Maya are from 7000 to 20,000 U.S$ (Don't quote me on this price list:) Usualy there are local Dealers of these 3D Softwares, in Major cities.. and most of the clients are Studios and Educational institutes.. there is a great 3D program, that costs around 200$ (more or less) it's called Hash Animation Master.. and it got almost everything the big guys got.. check it out! Oz.
Excellent Excellent Excellent! Animation is so convincng you'd almost swear its mo-cap. Very funny too. Certainly an inspiration to animation students. Keep up the good work!
This might sound like a silly question to you, but I've never seen any of these programs you guys talk about (Maya, Lightwave, 3d studio max) in stores. But, in the case of the 405 people, they clearly say "off-the-shelf" products. What's the deal? Is there a special store for such items?
Holy Cow!!...your a Genius, dude..! I wanna be Just like you when i grow up :) seriously, you should be working for disney or pixar.. Great imagination..all those years of watching cartoon finally paid off, eh? please post more of the same...
Thanks (!!) CoTNT, Thanks for your compliments :) I did this animation long time ago, and today when I look at it, I think it's even too smooth.. or in other words too floaty, in certain parts. Thats the look I was after at that time, but if I would have to animate this short again today, I would probably do it much more snappy... thanks again:) Oz.
I am very impressed with the animation. I am stunned to tell you the truth. I myself am a student of 3d modelling, and I work in Maya. But I have never ever seen an animation run so smooth. Excellent work!
