Hi guys, Just wanted to share this group assignment we finished on school just before christmas. We wore four guys working on the Rube Goldberg animation. Six months ago, I would NEVER imagine us making something like this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHaK4_IrQOI&hd=1[/media] [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/"] [/URL]

You just [I]had[/I] to put the dildo in, didn't you.

In the brave words of Johnny Knoxville, "That's how my dildos should fly!"
[QUOTE=The Vman;27481500]You just [I]had[/I] to put the dildo in, didn't you.[/QUOTE] hahaha, Ofcourse. Like I wrote, we were four people working on the assignment, and all four agreed that the dildo would be awesome :) [QUOTE=ief014;27481721]And if I'm not mistaken, this is a school assignment?[/QUOTE] Both my teachers was fully 100% with us on the idea :) It was supposed to be the funny part of the movie, and it was being used as the humoristic part about it. Also it was vital for the animation, since it could vibrate, resulting in an unpredictable movement. All the animation is animated by hand except when the string on the toy-plane snaps. We used a week on the entire animation, and split the room into four. After the animation was done, we merged it all together, and I tweaked the entire thing, making every interaction as realistic as possible, but the bad part about it, I had to redo about 30% of the animation.. (from when the fan turns on, pushing the soap, to where the toothbrush hits the book.) Basically, I had to redo another students animation.. I also hand animated the camera ;) Another thing, it took me 245 hours to render the entire assignment on one computer with six cores.
hahahahaha brilliant. I might as well critique. The lighting is a little bland for my taste, I'd like to see it with more interesting setup. If one of you paint it would have been great to do some light pallet paintings (can't remember the real world name for this). Your camera motions were good, but felt a little wonky at times. I don't know why it took 10 days to render, but I'll assume motion blur or something really took it up a lot which is acceptable. The book's motion was a little weird but it's understandable since you had an extra workload that it's not a perfect polish, and that seemed to be the least good (I don't feel worst is appropriate) part of the animation. Great job overall and these are just notes. I wish I was that good.
Who puts a confederate flag in their bathroom :v:

I wish I was that good.[/QUOTE] Response: I originally did a more experimental type of lighting, but the other three in my group wanted it a little more bland, but we're overall pleased with the lighting. One of the criterias for the assignment, was to use basic procedural textures, no pictures, nor drawn. The camera was fully on me, it was worse, but we haven't learned anything about camerawork yet, but further assignments will most likely have better camera-angles. The reason for the long rendering, was that almost every object had some sort of reflection, or refraction, using raytracing, also we rendered it out at 30 fps, if we'd rendered it out at 25 fps, we would have saved about 369 frames, and about 49 hours of rendering :P And, I rendered without motion-blur, that stuff was added through After-Effects afterwards. The books motion looked good when we planed it out in our heads, but then when we put it all together, it became a little... Weird. :P [QUOTE=Rooster Assassin;27488342]Who puts a confederate flag in their bathroom :v:[/QUOTE] WE DO! :D There's also a 50 cal rifle by the window, and some 50 cal amunition in the window frame ;) Also, there's a knife hanging from a string attached to the roof, which cuts the string attached to the toy-plane... Logics? NOWHERE! :D
