I want to use a cat in this scene.  At the beginning, the cat is jumping out of a tree. Then he finds a balloon floats to him. Cat is trying to intimidate the balloon, and suddenly he scratch the balloon with his paws.

Hi guys. Here's the layout of my final assignment. Please feel free to comment :)

Yuanchen_Li_shotplan_01

I will use armstrong for my final. The scene is about two monster fighting. I want to make the two monsters different character. Then I find King Kong reference for the right one. The Hulk reference for the left one.

Ken Craig

I will be using armstrong, He will start sitting while noticing something over yonder, then he gets up walking to the edge for a closer look, a small pause as he investigates. Then stepping down the ledge toward the object pausing shortly a foot away, then moving in for close investigation. The last long pause will be him investigating while standing on all fours like an ape.

These are some links to the reference videos I've scrounged up so far.

I want to animate a dog, which is named Poco. He is waiting for his Owner. And then he hears somebody's steps. However, that person walks past. He feels a little bit blue. Suddenly, the door opens. The ray of corridor lamp comes through the door, and the ray illuminates Poco's face. This is the most wonderful moment for Poco.

Gavin Tai, creation animation + question

I am having problem in this assignment, not technical animation problem (of course i will need to fix something), but more about concept problem. Since i try to use armstrong (because i am familiar with him), i want to do a wild creature animation about him, but its hard to find reference of a aggressive two leg standing animation (monkey, chimps, ape). I tried to shoot some reference of myself acting like an aggressive ape but it might looks too human. Anyone can give me some idea of which direction i should go for? Thanks.

So I think the left arm is snapping down too quick on the fall, but ran out of time to ammend. Fix one problem, create another.

Hello, everyone, I need your help~

Today, I wanted to add some lights into the scene, but unfortunately, something went wrong. When I rendered the frame, I found the arm skin color changed. At the first, just the arm skin color went darker, and I checked the Photoshop file and GRB color setting. I think they were fine, because I rendered this frame yesterday. What's worse, when I posted this question on this blog. There were three different colors. The face, hands and arms have different colors. What should I do? Does anyone know what's wrong with my mental ray render?
