Gotmilk 228 posts20 Jul 2008Hello.
I followed Tyson`s tutorial and made my own robot ball animation. I have no prior experience in animation (except bouncing ball) so i think that i did pretty ok for a first try. Of course it is nowhere near as good as Tyson`s but it is a start
The only problem was legs. I have no idea how to link legs on to ground. So i putted legs on ground manually. But doing it by hand was really hard. The other thing was the materials and putting render passes together in Adobe After Effects. I was lazy and took the easy way out. I applied toon shader on to my geometry.
Thank you Tyson for your great tutorial. I learned a lot from it.

22 Jul 2008Hahah cool bro! Nice to see you tried out my tutorial
The main thing I'm seeing right now is that it's kinda floaty. There are times when the legs don't fully plant and when the ball rolls at the beginning, it's slidey. So, I'd suggest the biggest thing to work on would be really nailing down the weight. Make it look really heavy, as if it's like a 500 lb ball of death -

Gotmilk 228 posts28 Jul 2008Thank you guys for kind words and suggestions.
@ mahmoudnahmad
I used mental ray rendering, one light and toon shader. Nothing else -
ALi 608 posts29 Jul 2008Yeah at the beginning it looks slidy, but the rest is cool. Nice job mate. -
01 Aug 2008Pretty rad man, I like the shading too. Just work on the weight and you'll be in good shape.

01 Aug 2008I to agree with t......but man that is about all you really need to do to have a very nice animation. I like the toon shader too.
