10 May 2006I doubt I'll be able to finish this within the timeframe, but I'll try, it took me a while to come up with something worthwile. My entry will involve mad chickens and mindless violence.
-
10 May 2006cool! mindless violence rocks! (well, the cg kind, anyway...)
nice chicken coop! what sound are you using? -
10 May 2006whoaaa great idea, mad chickens are always fun to see
Cool coop! -
10 May 2006sweet model, looks low-poly too! cant wait to see the animation mate!
-
12 May 2006Started on the enviroment. The basic layout is done, now to fill it up with more detail. The thing there in the middle is a road btw
Still thinking of adding corn or wheat or something on the "fields" to fill it up some more. And there's no possible way I'm going to be able to finish this by monday.
Oh, here's a for those of you who get a kick out of that
-
12 May 2006looks great! hard to look at it and not imagine "chicken run", tho!
wether or not you make it for monday, please keep working on it and post! maybe someone'll move the thread to the Factory on monday or something. -
15 May 2006Funny you mention chicken run, I should have looked at it for inspiration Instead I looked at Gopher Broke -_-
Oh, and would be an admin/moderator be so kind to transfer this to the factory forum or so?
Anyways ...
I started detailing the thing, but my computer started choking
The main problem lies in the grass, it's rather high poly because I modelled each and every blade >_>
Also thinking of redoing the terrain using the paint deformation tools, I fiddled a bit with it and I found the results were much nicer!
So I thought about using alpha planes instead, but the results are far from satisfactory imo. Granted, my grasstexture isn't the best, but I don't really like how it gets lit and how it casts shadows :/ And it looks fake, especially up-close.
See for yourself:

here's two links to some ideas. -
17 May 2006Thanks for the links Hype! They should really come in useful!
Unfortunately, as usual, my modelling skills are letting me down. Modelling the chicken proved to be much more difficult than I anticipated
I'm now trying to gather more references of stylized chickens and other birds so I can get a better idea of what I want. If you'd know of more references, let me know!
There's also some good news. I finally made up my mind on what to do with the end of the clip. It'll most likely involve a pig too :] -
19 May 2006Now the deadline got extended I might join in again, with this:
-
19 May 2006Now thats a pair of psychotic looking chickens if ever I've seen one.
They look like egg timers, thats fun. -
19 May 2006haha they look crazy
-
19 May 2006yep, they look great! funny already, and they're not even doing anything yet!
-
19 May 2006Love it:D So richly stylized!

21 May 2006Thanks
I couldn't decide which beak to take, so I took both.
I'm not really happy with the canon material, so that will change. And I want the anti-pig logo somewhere on it too. Onto the animation!
-
21 May 2006HAhahahahahahahahahaha
THAT my friend, is genius -
21 May 2006yep, agree with Cam - this is AWESOME!
-
21 May 2006Thanks
I made a pig too, don't know yet if I'll use him though. Materials are temp, but I need sleep right now.
-
21 May 2006There's definately a cool style emerging here.
With the chickens, maybe you should have the outer white bits on a sort of hinge, that swing backwards? -
21 May 2006Haha...i love the way it turn... If animation follow the same way, it will be a hilarious one
-
21 May 2006Thanks!
Cameron: I tried that, but I thought it'd be better if the top part of the eggshell stays above the rest. As some sort of protection or so, so it could rapidly close if needed.
The chicken animation is +/- done, apart from some minor things. The rest is still to come.
Quick render, no lights or anything yet. Rip it apart!
-
22 May 2006I just peed a little
-
22 May 2006Ha ha! THat's really funny! The only crit i'd have is that the chicken and pig fly away too fast, it's like one frame everyones there, and the next, they're all gone, i had to play it through frame by frame to see whats heppening. Otherwise, very very good idea! Kicks ass!
-Iest -
22 May 2006i could watch a feature length movie with these guys, they're so fun to look at!
