Hello Peeps and welcome to another fantastic episode of Animations on HypefroActive. Today, i wont be taking too much of your time as i just want to keep you guys updated with my work so far. Boy i hate modeling but i have to do these things because one of them leads to the other. No model, no animating, so yeah i have to swallow my hate and do what i have to do. It wasnt easy modeling these stuffs especially when you have to continually change from the reference to something never planned for. Anyways i'm here now and here we go.
Ok, so i would say, modeling the hand was the biggest challenge for me and i kept changing until i arrived here. Something i learnt though is that, while modeling the thumb and if you are using the box method like i am, it comes easier when you extrude the portion where the thumb is supposed to
sprout from just like the other fingers. Another thing is that since it would be animated, it's good idea to leave the hand and all it's fingers in a base pose. Keeping it really simple so that they appear plain and neutral, that way it is easier to rig and get into any pose you like. Also, the proportion in the fingers are clearly seen. And that's all i have for the day. So far i've modeled and textured the main character, i'll probably do an anime with a simple scene like i used to and begin rigging soon. Still thinking of what to animate though but it wont be long like before. Maybe something in the 20-30secs range. Until i come your way again, stay blessed and keep that passion burning.

Thanks so much for this information. I have to let you know I concur on several of the points you make here and others may require some further review, but I can see your viewpoint.

Thanks for your comment Johny. It's ok that you agree or disagree. After all it's a learning page and we don't stop learning. Since then, I've learnt a ton too and would model that hand differently if I'm to do it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks once again.
