quinn paynter 356 posts05 Jul 2006Dont be worried, this is gonna be fun
Plus now as good a time as any to start learning animation. Everyone on this community is friendly and im sure will give any crits needed. I know i'll need some crits and pointers 
But hey if it makes me a better animator. CRIT AWAY!!!

ALi 608 posts05 Jul 2006Thanks Quinn.
lol. I don't worry much about that. My worry is generaly about not having enough time to work on my entry. I'm working with a studio in a TV animation movie and it takes a lot of my time. puh! I wish I had time to complete my entry. -
ALi 608 posts05 Jul 2006Here is the sound I'm gonna to use (from War of the Worlds movie). What's your opinion about it?

11 Jul 2006Hey man.....Looking nice!!!
Here are some lighting/setup suggestions:
1) The lightbulb hanging above him just looks like a glowing circle......I'd say make a lightbulb object, give it a 100% self-luminous material with a falloff map in the diffuse spot, where in the 2 colors used are white and VERY light yellow. Then add your glow on top of that and it should give you a nice lightbulb look
2) Right now the smoke is very thick , whereas cigarrette smoke is very wispy and light.....just tweak your settings a bit until your smoke doesn't look like smog
3) The shadows in the scene are also very hard right now, and look like RayTraced shadows. I'd suggest either using soft shadows, or just a shadow map with a large approximation radius. Default shadow radius on a regular max shadow is 4....I'd suggest bumping it up anywhere between 12 and 40, depending on the intensity of the lights
4) Maybe think about adding some blue fill lights into your scene lighting as well....in movies/cinema, night shots are often lit with blue lights, and not only that but blue is a complementary color to orange, so it will help to balance the color of your character -
ALi 608 posts11 Jul 2006Hey, very thanks Tyson. Great tips. I'm very interested in your lightbulb idea. let me try it. and will send the update after that.

ALi 608 posts15 Jul 2006Thanks to nux, the file is now ok. Hey mates, all of your C&C are welcomed and needed.
http://lucideaproductions.com/short/1-5.mov (file size is about 1.6MB) -
15 Jul 2006the thing that bother me most about is that the character looks like he's smiling the whole time. i know this is how he's built, and if i was doing one right now he'd look exactly the same, but it does still bother me.
animation looks great, though! -
