After that jumping Bobby I wanted to see if a group is envolved how difficult that is. It's not somthing to be perfect, just to see how synchronisation looks like trueSpace 7.51 BobbyBanana91.zip is the scenery if you want to experiment, add or modify for yourself BobbyBanana.zip is an AVI file with the whole animation Post by opiejuan // Oct 25, 2007, 1:02pm opiejuan Total Posts: 120 Crits and exhorts Crits: Some of the timing needs a bit of work, like the banana at the end slows for the guy walking, then speeds up, slows back down almost to a halt then speeds up again at the same rate in the final speed up as the last Bobby heading north. A few other timing problems here and there. You might want to play with the fcurves a bit and if you get real serious you might play with simulating innertia effects...like the upper bodys on the riders leaning back on excelleration with arm sttretched out still holding the invisable steering wheel, or the above mentioned banana leaning forward when he hits the brakes, etc. Maybe even have the guy who turns right give hand signals or wave bye-bye to his buddy heading off straight. Exhorts: I LOVE this anim! The pedal/foot work of the driver who turns right, the sight of these carless drivers and bananas skimming away down the road! The concept is right on, IMO. It reminds me of the old stop motion stuff seen on old TV shows like Laugh-in or Benny Hill. Please, hang with this and work out the little details of it. I can think of other embelishments that could really make this shine, but I'll let others have a go at it first. Opie Post by jamesmc // Oct 25, 2007, 1:11pm jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 ahaha! Love the scene! You have a knack for the comedy moment Emma. :) Post by butterpaw // Oct 25, 2007, 1:27pm butterpaw Total Posts: 831 Great - very humorous! .. watching several times I keep seeing more :D Post by 3dfrog // Oct 26, 2007, 1:00am 3dfrog Total Posts: 1225 Neat idea. I like. Try working out your fcurves on bobbys feet so they dont slip around when he walks. I like his crazy walk though. Adds to the hectic moment.
