I couldn't let go of the idea.

You're probably in for a surprise too...



I will later reveal how it's done.

it would be the first time any of them had appeared outside a demo video... that's got to be worth points! And maybe a prize...]]> Wed, 24 Aug 2016 22:51:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from ikes PatMarrNC wrote:

Sorry Pat, no groundbreaking ideas at the moment. I am working on some set for a rough idea for a movie, but it's actually not for the contest. Maybe if I get an idea for that, I'll participate...

I also offered to help somebody in the chat asking for a boxing arena.]]> Wed, 24 Aug 2016 22:22:50 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from PatMarrNC

Over scaling it all, of course, shoulda guessed. Actually Fazz68 did a similar trick with a robot to create ED209, but the jaw movement - wow, hadn't thought of keying the visibility of positioned objects to animate something, that's genius that is Applause

Did you have to offset the axis zero points of the jaws to get them that far away, or is that using the 'tweak' <cof> to move them further out?

Thanks Ziggy,

You have some link to this ed209?

I didn't use the <cough>, I placed the centerpoints of the meshes way out and positioned them somewhat with the sliders.]]> Tue, 16 Aug 2016 23:00:19 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 ziggy72 wrote:

That's quite a bad cough you've got there, you might want to get that checked out. ]]> Tue, 16 Aug 2016 22:52:04 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from ziggy72

did you model and texture the T-rex? SUPER job, whoever did it!


I modelled the hole thing with sculptris. The texture was something I googled for reptile skin. It fitted quite well actually.]]> Tue, 16 Aug 2016 21:18:31 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from PatMarrNC Tue, 16 Aug 2016 21:11:45 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 ikes wrote:

I will explain how I did the T-rex. There is a version for head movement and one for walking. Because he takes big steps, you can't actually let him walk from point A to B, his feet will slip on the floor. But you can let him walk in place and move the background.

In this see-through you can see the character is standing on an invisible raised platform. The head of the t-rex is attached to the face mask socket. All the jaws are connected to the other face sockets, which visibilities can be key-framed under the character properties.



The body for walking is attached to the waist socket, the one for head movement has it at the neck socket.
The tail is attached to the tail (duh)
The legs are connected to the feet on about the knee hight. To avoid his legs going almost horizontal, I found that the angry mood walk is the best one. All running is too exaggerated to be used, his legs are going through his tail.

The biting part was done with key-framing the visibility of the jaws as well as the running/static girl. I made a static pose of the girl in the mouth, that was attached to the hair socket. I had some glitches however with rendering. Some rendered frames showed the jaw as a grayed translucent object, like you suppose to see only in the viewport as invisible, not on a camera. It also varied on multiple renders, sometimes it happened, sometimes not... strange.

This is still an early version, maybe I'm going to detail it further and make it available in the store, if there is a demand for this creature.

Thank you Pat!

Yeah, I couldn't give up on it. It was not easy, but I did it... It's still in an early modelling stage, but I had to first test animating with it.


I'm looking forward to seeing everybody else's reaction to your accomplishment here...

also looking forward to seeing how you did it!]]> Tue, 16 Aug 2016 00:19:28 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from Rocque Tue, 16 Aug 2016 00:19:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5866-surprise-in-the-park.aspx Message from ikes PatMarrNC wrote:
