"3d animation"

OMG it's 4.10am and my animation is still rendering :( i still have to put all my mocies together and add music. Then at 8.20am get up and walk in to uni for a 4 hour lecture in which a very tired me will present my animation.

It's all been going wrong here. My 'copy' of premiere has funked up it won't let me use the mpeg 4 codec that i have to use. Now using virtual dub to put them together but this means no fading transitions :( . One of my renders failed twice which means i have to leave it out.

My presentation is a critical review of my project so far. (so far it's looking shoddy) They are going to rip me apart :( i mean yeah the smoke and the lighting rocks but cause of teh transitions i'm screwed. I was on a first for the project so far now this is going to bring me down to like a 2.1 then i just gotta hope the final version gets me another first.

My brain hurts. I have learnt that 3d animation is too unstable to leave to the night before. Theres a lesson there kidds.

If i get the time tomorrow i will post a link to my animation. It's only 30 seconds and it's for a bbc-i channel Spark. Which i happen to do student stuff for.

Well off to finish it all. Had a rant feel abit better head hurts though.

Small amount of new content up on my site

i have been working on learning a bit of reactor, got some pretty nice looking water in my test area. will probably chuck a small update with pics up on my site of it, looks a bit strange due to the colour of my floor so looks murky but it's just the brown wood floor.

Give the nice wrestler guy a girlfriend and animate them.

same model but i doubt i'll put him in the arena, probably just have him bellyflopping around on a piece of floor. i'm not really interested in scenery for this, i want to practice my character animation.

The darkness is only there on the compressed version on the site, the pics on the site show the real lighting.

Looking forward to seeing your guy do some stuff. Have you changed the model at all? are you using the same scene as the other one?

improve the lighting for test purposes.
i couldn't see what the vines were doing.. although that kind of lighting suits the pace and movement of the vines, it's just a pig to see what they're doing at the moment.

looking good though, i'll have to try playing with path deforms. i'm presently doing a few little animations of my wrestler character doing various things.

Small update on my site, the vines animation has been changed and improved. i'm starting my next project tomorrow i think, don't want to get to caught up on one small clip.

have a look and give comments please. :D

I like that vine one - seems to move a little too fast (I mean, it's unnaturally fast anyway!), but I tihnk if you slow it down a tad...

Still, looks great!

There is a new clip and some pictures on my site, of a vine coming in to the scene, i've used my test scene from the bullet time only changed the lighting for night-time rather than during the day. it;s a pretty simple scene but looks quite good,

any suggestions on additions? changes, timing or techniques?

Just saw the film thingy. It looks ace, even though I'm not an expert on animation. Just to let you know your appreciated.
