Speed Animation Challenge - Week 03 - Ninja

[anima3d]

Thank u Chrisp!

_THE NINJA_

An animation for two characters (bipeds etc.).

One character is engaged in a passive activity (Could be washing dishes, guarding a house, sleeping in a rocking chair), unaware of the fate that will soon befall them. The second emerges, ambushes them and kills them, then slips into the shadows once more...

_Rules_

- The time limit is Friday, the 5th of August.
- You can use premade rigs and models. You can use your own models. you can use JUST riggs, like CAT for max.
- Maximum animation length is 30 seconds.
- Recommended screen resolution in 320x240 ( you can also try 640x480 if you have to ).
- You can post W.I.P.s but you are allowed one and only one complete entry. That link is also final, you cannot redo it and post a new one. You must also specify what you worked on and how long it took and what premade objects or rigs you used, along with a short description of your animation.
- Webspace is up to you.
- You can not use dynamics for animation. You can use them to polish things with a flow of water, maybe a glowing line of dust when a magician waves his wand, or when a character disapears, etc. You get the idea.
-Remember, it's about animation, use your time for animation, not to get the best render possible, unless you can afford it.
-Try to use quicktime or Divx if possible.

Good luck !

OOOH crap! sorry! somehow, I skipped anima3d's post and didn't see it... grr..

[anima3d]

Ilkejav mk5: He he ..


Ok I ve a question? How can i make a cool blood effect in max?
Is there any other way except particles? (Like a plug-in or something..)
im asking cause ive got a serious problem with Vray when i use particles.. (:"Too many transparent objects" on f*** Vray engine msg window)
& i cannot render

[gdemo.s5.com]

as a old school stick death animation creator, I have had experience with this. just draw yor blood with photoshop or real basic paint program then use flash or gif builder or even after effects type prog to add yor blood effect to a render of characters. blood is easy. It will look beter if you drew it! let me try this for the ninja speed challenge you'l see:P

[Freespace-3DT]

Blood's damn hard to make. I've always used metaparticles for it, but never got it to stick correctly to surfaces and so on.

[anima3d]

Hey gdemo.s5.com wellcome & thanks for the tip I ll be waiting to see ur progress on that..
cheers

Freespace: Yeaa its very hard with metaparticles..
Maybe im gonna use Combustion (the-easy-way he he) to make a 2D compositing or something
