Well im a little late but better then never =) Im using the Iron Giant audio clip. and I will model ( as acuratley as time alows me) the two Iron Giant characters here are some concepts. (None drawn by me =).

The actuall scene extracted from

iron giant

Dean McCoppin

Good luck. Don't get too involved with the modeling, though. That's not a judging oint. :)

Ya im not gonna be spend to much time on modeling after last nights experimentation with spline modeling I belive ill just ressel with the animation ... mostly ... heres a rough of what I got out of the spline modeling ( note first time I used spline modeling =)

lol - I was wondering what the characters looked like for this. I knew the clip was from The Iron Giant but I've never seen the film. Nice model so far.

well I didn't have much time today I do got a small update on head. and tomarrow I will finsih giant and start on dean.
I gave up on accuracey because I just rembered I don't know how to animate =) so I will have to take the rest of the time to learn that. well heres update.

cool, nice to see your sticking with the real scene.
good luck

Well Life has caught up with me and I can't devote as much time as I wanted to lightwave. I got the Iron Giant done ( he is not detailed nor textured but I don't have time) I still havent started on dean, if I don't get him done by the end of tomarrow im gonna have to drop out... =( ... im gonna spend the rest of the day ( I know it) trying to learn how to rigg and animate any good tutorials would be help full. I will try my best to come up with somthing, id rather have somthing then naught at all.

btw heres Iron Giant.
