guys I just want to put in a friendly reminder to those of you with Swift 3D:
http://www.pixel2lif...?showtopic=9065

We do have a comp to win things

Your welcome to animate whatever you enter in any of these competitions and enter for an official copy of Swift 3D

since these comps are all about learning.. whats the harm in trying out the demo

[Ckristian]

I was hoping I'd get to make a doomsday device

I'll try and do something and hopefully it looks like a cartoon character

Good luck to all who enter this one

[SHIVMOO]

stupid head mesh... i have had to go through fixing most of the head after realising how messy it was
its fixed now tho .. will add textures to the head before i continue..


ckristian-- you could make an evil scientist to stick next to a doomsday device if we make 1 in a future compo

[Conti]

just to make sure, it doesn't have to be an existing cartoon char right?

[SHIVMOO]

right...
you can make your own up

yay my idea for a cartoon character won im gona start it tonight gonna get cracking on it and advance my maya skills

[BeaverElfeater]

i use maya, i cant really get spline modeling down, its the hardest thing in the world to me, i think im doing it right, and then i try bi railing and the whole this is messed up,

maybe ill try using sub d's, or maybe ill study a bit more and have a go at the next one

[Ckristian]

I think I'll sketch something on paper before i get into modelling the actual thing. Learnt some new techniques today . Think I'll go wid an Alien kinda theme.

[SHIVMOO]

noooo... i have an alien ... and i have started texturing his head.. he is a mucky little thing

he decided he didnt like life... i think he will be a cleaner skellly

[Ckristian]

*this aint my entry *

Mesh editing is tough lol.... I tried to make an animal model(dont know which one ) before getting into my character model. And its taken me abt 4 hours to get this done. and still the legs arent alrite



I think I'm gonna spend a lot more time on this one than the previous ones

[Mooey]

Nice one for posting the first image. I'm working on one now, having problems with some polys so i'm having a break and putting a dvd on, this 3D stuff can get dead frustrating at times

[Ckristian]

4. existing 2d characters can be used.

Parially quoting^^^

Just to confirm - I can do Marvin the martian right?

[BeaverElfeater]

this is my failed daffy duck flipper, the wire mesh looks ok, but i couldnt get the surfaces to show up, im going to try poly modeling him tonight or maybe attempting at another nurbs, and if that doesent work i give up on this contest because school is starting in 8 days and i have some AP summer work i have to do

Still work in progress, the head is too big in my opinion. Its my first model with Cinema and I love this program.

c&c very welcome.



edit - I know why the face looks weird, he has two rows of teeth and his mouth should be moved down more. Also his eyes and visor are too high. I'll have a play with it tommorrow
