I just started yesterday a new character
a robot, to make a a pal for my other one
in a animation

i got the legs to do and a lot of tweaking and details to add
let me know any comments are welcome
and the sooner the better

[LaMereHic]

as i haven't much spare time i'll post a few updates
i did the upper legs part, thought i am not sure i'll keep them like this
i think i'lll have a lot of tweaking to do just to have the character
fonctional for animation such as reduce a bit the forearms
in order to be able to move them enough.
comments would be apreciated

[LaMereHic]

here is a a new update
i nearly finished the legs
gonna finish my work and come back later on it
if someone has a few comments....

I like it the arms exaggerated looks cool!

[LaMereHic]

Thanks, the thing with these big exagerated arms is that i am gonna have some troubles for the animation part
but, i'll see if i will have to reduce them a little bit

[simple]

I think you can prbably pull it off in a couple of ways, ok one would be to shorten the arms, I wouldnt reall reduced the thickness of them, and the other way is for you to make you character walk like a gorilla, that would be funny.

Keep us updated, a good luck.

thanks simple
the thing is that the robot has to walk like that, a gorilla
this is why i did created it with these hudge arms

Looks pretty cool cant really say much more as its not long enough to really see the full potential of your character, but looks really good so far.

The cape was it made with motion designer?

I am figuring motion designer out right now, bit slow due to my processor.

Good work man, but the animation isnt the character pictured is it? its your other character the grey one.

[LaMereHic]

thanks
yes the cape moves are made in clothFx
i am learnig how to use it
need a bit tweaking more to have it right
the character is my first robot.. otto
i ll have the second in the animation after

here is a update, the cape does not behave as i would like yet but i am gonna find a way to have it well (hope so)

Merci beaucoup rod
je pense aussi que c'est un peu rapide et il faut que je reprenne cette animation...
de plus j'ai plein d'autres situations à mettre en scene pour ce perso..
pour l'instant je me bats avec la suite de l'animation.... avec une chaine, je cherche un type de set up pour reussir a animer cette chaine avec le perso s'accrochant dessus et la chaine se décrochant du plafond ou elle etait fixée lui tombe dessus...




for the moment I fight with the continuation of animation.... with chains, I seek a type of set up to succeed to animate this chains with the above clinging perso and the chains taking down ceiling where it was fixed fall onto him...

i am triyng fk, ik, physics...
got no very probant result for the moment...
if someone has ideas....
