WIP: The Torero

Sascha, what I said in ICQ ... looks ok for now ... the pace between fast and slow-moving parts is about right IMO.

Hi Sascha

now the movment gets much better. Still i see some little smal strangness (the moving of the legs at first) but it gets much smother now. It also depends a bit on the surrounding scene he sees.

I will be checking it out when I get home today

It's looking much better Maybe you've already worked on some of this but here is what I think of it so far.

The initial pose makes the first motion a little odd. Maybe try something diff to start off with.

The bow looks great except at the end he comes up a little then pauses. Looks like you were working on a recoil but it's a little too much IMHO.

The third look around, and subtle arm movement, to the ground is great but the first two (looking upwards) don't really fit in. Is he looking to the crowd? Try adding some hand gestures if so. Also, as he transitions from looking up to down he pauses a little in the middle. I think he should move more directly to looking down and to his left.

Hand to face is good but maybe it should reach the face before he looks up or be closer as he's looking up and a nice ease to.

Finally a sooner side step and loose the last camera move back. The first move adds allot but the second is unnecessary unless you're framing something on the left of the frame.

Looking really good and your refining it well

Thanks a Lot guys, here's the next update.

Argh, it's morning again, have to sleep now...

Great progress Sascha!

[Da_elf]

yeah awsome stuff. i like the progress

[Geddart]

Ok guys, i'm glad you like it. Here's the next update complete with better Body Animation, Camera Animation, Facial Animation and ClothSim. I hope you like it. (You'll see the Facial Animation better in the Full Glory HDTV Version later...).

>>> AVI (xvid, 4mb)
>>> MOV (sorensen3, 8.5mb)


I will do some final adjustments on the Facial Animation and Camera Movement (Maybe a bit less shaky? What do you think?) and go over to the Volumetrics, Materials and Rendering Part... haha, back to more familiar Territory... Last but not least i'm working on the second Setting for the Shortfilm. I won't go into details about it though. I want it to be a surprise. (it will add "Story"...)

Hope you guys like it. C&C Welcome.

[Da_elf]

those are both avi

[Geddart]

Thanks dude, fixed.
How do you like it?

PS: The Boxes are for Camera Reference only. They will be replaced by some Stones and Dirt on the Floor.

[Da_elf]

awsome. funny. well timed. got a music score to put to it yet?

[Geddart]

I will meet with a composer on Sunday.
It's the same guy who mixed the sounds for the Griesgram. This time however he'll have much more to do. I'm not sure if he will do the Music or if i can take something already composed. I'm aiming for spanish guitar with castagnettes. ( )
