Oddworld movies!!!

webmaster_dragon · #1 03-05-2005, 05:40 PM

Hello every one,
My name is norm, long time fan of the games! I am making CG movies using the characters from the games, I will NOT sell them, I am using them for promotional use only, I would love to get a job animating for the Oddworld Company. I consider myself quite good at 3d programs, but I can still learn a few things. if it is ok with the creators of the games and the programmer of this site, I would love to submit 5-15 minute films of Abe in unusual situations... if any one would like to see Abe in a certain situation I will gladly animate it for them, (note it takes time and going to Algonquin College I don't have much time to start with). In fact if any one has any ideas for a short animation with Abe, munch, the Gluckons, ext... Pleas I would love to hear it! Pitch it to me and I will dub you the righter in the credits. I am using 3DS Max 6.0 if any one has any cg models I can use, I would give them my eternal respect, and I will give them credit. The models I am using right now are not too good. I know how to animate them, not make them. So I am begging people to "lend" me copies of their models. I will post all progress of my films hear. I will only check this 3-4 times a week; I don't have much time in my busy, busy life.

Do one of Abe meditating in the Monsaic Lines, and accidentally teleporting himself Paramonia or Scrabania...Or have him talking with Big Face and the Weirdos...

I've just recently started using 3ds max 7.0. I am creating a quadroped creature at the moment, it looks rather oddworldly. I'm having problems figuring out how to set up the proper bone structure for animating a four legged model. I also need to figure out how to give him a good looking skin. When I finish with the model, I would allow you to animate it, depending if I finish it rather soon. I'll post pictures tommorow or the next day.

Do one with Molluk running around in Rupture Farms laughing in a sicotec voice. :P That would be funny. Then making him run into to a wall making him trip and fall in a meat barrel and laughing... all night. :P

I never would have expected replyes this fast, I am glad people are willing to help me,

*MojoMan220* - it is complicated to explain bone systems in words, I pretty much need to show you, but in order to create good skins (textures) you must press "M" and go in to the map aria then add diforent textures... I hope this helps you, I can also finish it for you. but only if you want. I will not take anny credit for your creation. creating bone systems and textures is not as hard as creating the model it's self.

I am sorry about my spelling, I have dislexia,
both a curse and a blessing...

I've just recieved a version of Maya and I have no idea how to use it. A promotional movie would be cool, do it!

P.S. I'm going canoeing in Algonquin this summer.

MojoMan220 · #17 03-09-2005, 10:49 AM

webmaster dragon, I use 3ds max 7 to create models.

webmaster_dragon · #18 03-11-2005, 05:58 AM

is 3ds 7 much better than 6?

General Dripikk · #19 03-11-2005, 07:15 AM

I would like to see Munch and the fuzzles behind the senes.

I have not used version 6. I just started modeling a couple weeks ago.
