Chriz.'s Animation Projects

[SuPa-]

Not really, modelers are "animators" too
But I guess there still aren't a lot of modelers X-/

Anyway, attacks are looking nice. The GIF for the 3rd one got really slowed down?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

No, I just made the pullback too slow, it'll be changed. Though I think this way it gives it a really heavy massive feeling.

By the way, Browbeat animation in action: Here!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Is the "Pwnt" part of the spell, or a joke?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Oh it's there all right.

 

[Pyritie]

Nice.

 

[Dionesiist]

Chriz, what do you use to make animated GIFs?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Camtasia Studio for capturing and editing, JASC animation studio for avi to gif conversion.

 

[gromhellscream666]

did you make a animation for spell? for the recent model?

i dont know anything about modeling or animationg so no bashing on me lol

 

[Deleted member 126647]

The second attack is now the start of his spell where he slashes a unit into the air and then smashes them back down to earth.

This is its replacement.

Timing on the gif is a bit off, it was being annoying again.

 

[gromhellscream666]

oh so it really is based off cervantes lol awsome great job ob it .

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Very nice, as usual.

So that would be attack 2 ingame?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yes.

This will be the most common attack, the downward slash with both swords will be a bit rare, and the spin attack will be rare. That way he's not too funky. I might add the spell animation as a very rare attack, so it pops up every now and then, we'll see.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

You know, that guy would look sooo awsome fighting. great work

 

[Dionesiist]

How do you manage to keep his feet still? =<

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Nearly two years of experience. I don't use anything but standard FK animation.

I usually put my finger on the screen where it is at one point, and then move it to the same point at the next area on the timeline. Very unprofessional, I know. But whatever works.

 

[Dionesiist]

Oh, I guess that would work =)

 

[donut3.5]

Ah, nice trick, I've been looking for something good like that!

QFT.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

So let's see, you have walk anims, stand anims, attack anims, one spell anim and death anim. What's left?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

More spells, more stands, and all his portrait stuff.

Well, grid can help you here very much.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yes, that's usually what I use my finger to hold on to, a gridline or box.

 

[Dionesiist]

The death looks a bit... meh...

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Boring? I know, but erwt, Cassiel, and the ToB public on tidesofblood.com really like it, so it stays. I think the attacks make up for it.

 

[Dionesiist]

Ja, I read the thread on the forums =\

 

[Mechanical Man]

Looking at the other animations I also expected more spectacular animation, but it still work, I would not pay much how the unit die in the heat of the battle either.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

What might be nice is some kind of spirit leaving his body as he falls down. Or some kind of ghostly energy.

 

[Pyritie]

Sorta like in the revenant death anim?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

 

[Pyritie]

Jumping ability of some sort?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

He slices the unit into the air, and then slams them down to earth.

 

[Pyritie]

I see...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Sorta like in the revenant death anim?

Or just the undead hero death effect.

Anyways, it would spice up the animation.

 

[Pyritie]

Well if it's a hero, wouldn't it have a dissipate anim?

 

[Dionesiist]

How many of his anims so far are inspired from Cervantes?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Attacks, Stand Ready, Spells...that's it.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Working on it.

 

[Pyritie]

Sweet!

Who increased the minimum message length?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Should be like the browbeat anim, as in, slams down hard and fast, but doesn't necessarily go up fast.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Looks great! It looks a little jerky\chunky, but thats just the gif, not the acual animation, right?

 

[Dionesiist]

The cube falls to quickly I think.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yes it's the gif.

And the cube means nothing.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

BEFORE TIME BEGAN, THERE WAS... THE CUBE.

Loving the flip while he falls.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Awesome.


As usual.

 

[THE_END]

Ohh shit, Chriz did you add that flip in recently?
I think I saw an older version of this without the flip

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Just re-did the fall from scratch today...err...yesterday.

 

[iron_warrior]

Looks like he rises up a little quick on his jump, but that could just be the gif. He kinda just appears at the top. The flip is really nice, though.

A little off-topic, how do you Dionesiist and Heretodlstuff get alpha channels in your avatars? I do alphas in Photoshop and save it as a gif, but it doesn't work.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Looks pwn, how long did it take you to make this?
