Marching Test 1

 

This guy is a character from Ruud's graduation film Black&Blue. We are planning to use the same rig for the soldiers so we tested if this guy could do some silly walks. Looks silly to us.

Tank movement test no.02

Made some test of tank animations, to see, how they look together, and also to document a progress.

Tank movement test no.01

After tanks were finished modelling, it was a time to check them in a movement. This first example shows tanks animation together with rigged character, toi have an impression how they look in one frame.

Tank's turntable no.2

This is an example of the tank, modeled for Military Parade animation, and there is a chance for you top see, how it looks from any direction.

Tank's turntable no.1

This is a second example of the tank, modeled for Military Parade animation, and there is a chance for you to see, how it looks from any direction.

Early sketches of tanks

This is some early sketches of tanks made just on paper, that later were transferred to 3D. Were trying to approach the style of the tanks to be similar and consistent to our previous character designs.

First Model in 3D

Can I have another D please. We needed to turn the sketches Martynas made into a 3d character. For this project 3d is the way to go. Animating everything in 2d would be way to time consuming.

It took a little more effort then expected to add that extra dimension to this character but it worked. We won't bother you with the details of this process but it has something to do with vertices. If you have four of them they form a square, and then you add another two, two squares now. What? Boring? haven't told you anything about ray-tracing and alpha channels yet

To keep a long story short: We think we have preserved that sharpness and toony feeling from the sketches in our 3d model.
