[astroAJ]

lol I'll pass, on the beesteality.

I know you're recreating the bee from the book but what are u doing with it... is it a hired project etc?

[needse]

beesteality pmsl good one

na its a project my dads had in the draw for years and just thought i would have a go at bringing it up to date as im not working at the moe , it a strong concept and me dads wrote loadsa kool story's for each different character plus there's loadsa other strong characters in the mix

its aimed at young kiddies more learning kinda thing with a strong influence to push kids to think about what they want to bee when the grow up

heres me dads old cartoon form the 80's lol enjoy = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_D1DqkoHgY

i love ths bees eyes - htey are so kind and warm .
as for the toon it self - hows about making it in to a app for smartphones where children could manipulate the bee to do educational stuff. todays marcet is realy big in apps , and in my countrie few students created a game where you can teach kids to wipe their bottom after taking a sh$$ or wahs their hands, or clean thei teeth.... , and this game is a sucsses in app stores.
just my two cents

OMFG! I loved Poddington Peas, I never missed this as a kid it used to be on at lunchtimes along with Portland Bill, Bertha or Fireman Sam, Poddington Peas has a very special place in my heart I adored it! It still f'ing love that theme tune! Seriously this is my childhood favourite.

I really love your character's style and I think your textures/shading needs work to really sell it, have you considered using hair/fur? I know it's a bugger to get right and would most likely ramp up render times but would look even cooler as a character.

[needse]

lol yeah thanks man i was hoping someone would remember it
glad you enjoyed it lol

as for hair/fur yeah i think he will look alot better with very short fur. ive downloaded the demo of hairfarm so im gonna play with that some more. it take's a lifetime to render and keeps crashing so im just trying to get some good settings that render fast

had no internet all day yesterday

here's some progress on some morpth targets just some made up ones still need to set some up for talking etc

Your project is looking quite fun keep it up : ), about the skining test, try to preview it without the bones so we can really see the deformation, aswell if you can try to do some more exterm poses, as everything is very linear, like the arm only move on the X axis try to make a rotation with the Z axis too, I know its just a test but trying more extrem poses will help later on, good job.

[needse]

thanks bob yeah its quite fun thats what's keeping me going with this

i have done some mocap tests on the skinned clothes just need to fix some minor issues and fixing the rope/pouch/guns etc so its more dynamic then i will post them up

i got loads to do

Didn't realise the poddington peas was going 3D, just checked out the website, did you have a hand in the character modelling, the early stages are looking brilliant.

[needse]

no thats was done by another company a few years ago it faded out now we have nothing to do with it as its in dispute as another company have pick up the rights somehow because my dad hadn't done anything with it for 10 years

me dad created the idea/characters and wrote all the original story's books and tv episodes

[setschaos]

looks great! I love the facial morph animations. Can't wait to see some final renders and maybe even a nice clip of the animations

[needse]

horse's face rig etc
