[size=14pt]I am offering to give you music video/commercials production quality 10 seconds character animation for free.

Just post your picture front view and side view or draw a character's front view and side view.

If you choose to draw a character, the character must conform to the position for 3d modeling(i.e the arms should be stretched apart, and the legs should look like that too).

specify your costume( ie clothing type, eg: Hip hop dressing, traditional etc)

specify what you want the character to do in maybe 3 scenes of 3seconds each, 2 scenes of 5seconds each or single scene of 10seconds.

The video I'll send to you via this forum will have minimum props(AVI format) , or even png format without background.


This offer is available to five persons, so choose your scenes wisely. [/size]

[size=13pt]Well, I don't have all the time to wait for someone to make up his mind, so I'll make the deadline 4 days from now.

so on Tuesday, February 15 2011, anyone who sees my commercial and wishes to have a clip in his Video, would have to pay.


This offer is in the spirit of giving this valentine and to compliment ugo for his free Logo design offer.

thats the animation i want you to recreate. the guy on the left for first 8 seconds

[size=14pt]@ Ugo,
good I'll work on it.[/size]

[size=13pt]@ Ugo, I kind of like your character, it's posing some rigging issues, and I like that, it means pushing the envelopes.
I imagined also having your character take the animated poses cos the legs are a little bit short, lol, it will be interesting but your character is a bit too fat to make such moves.

However, I'll treat your design as a client's work, let me see what to make out of it.

Nice work on your placement for the front and side views, it aided me a lot in the modeling process.

I don't know why you choose those animated moves, maybe, you're a street fighter fan lol,

I'm on your job any way, but know that you're pushing the envelopes here  [/size]

[size=14pt]Take a look at your model and make necessary modifications on your drawing.
[/size]

With modification

You can do with those, just that the moves will be a little less pronunced at the feet. Come on. I'm waiting

anyway here is another you can use

[size=14pt]Hmm, that's my guy, Doom3

This is really fun. [/size]

Hi Ugo, I'm still modeling your guy, I was just a little busy.

looking good with the modelling, I am waiting to see what you come up with

[size=14pt]@ Ugo Your people on nairaland bullied an innocent vertexroya

Well, I tried to get back in but all doors were shot,
but i am a man of my words, I'll give you something to cheer about.

Here's a little modification on the model, after rigging and texturing, I discovered an unwelded joint, welded it, and my UVW map got messed up.

I'll still give you something nice though.

@ vertexroya/wannatry

this is a public forum and you've bragged about performing a service- u have to make good on ur claim.
people are watching, remember you also advertised training services (for a fee)- so u have to impress prospective students, or at least show proficiency in the field.

u haven't done any so far.

i would have suggested u spend more time learning, before undertaking training, or wasting any 'students' hard earned money (or putting urself under the public spotlight)- but in the event that i am wrong, we are still waiting for output.

bro, contrary to how i may sound- i am not trying to cut u down.

the cg industry in nigeria is in its infancy stage. hence, it is important that it is nurtured d rite way.
mediocres/incompetents making loud claims hurt all of us who are trying 2 b professional - n true mentors r hard 2 find.

u definitely have skill, find out wot area it lies in n focus on it. d animation world is a vast terrain. (as i'm sure u know)

judging from d progress u have posted, from ur interpretation of ugos earlier image planes, to ur model of d second chap, and attempt at texturing it- ur strengths may not b modeling or texturing.
if those r ur areas of interest, then u should b studying tutes seriously.

u say doom3 xters werent done by amateurs, i agree- so does dat mean ur an amateur?lol 

an average competent modeler will turn up any of d two models in 12-48 hrs (4get texturing)
we r yet 2 see ur xter animation, but seriously, the way u raised xpectations with ur initial offer, anything less than 'outstanding' only hurts u, n any reputation/credibility u may b trying 2 build.
thats my lesson 2 u. make claims u can deliver on without d need 2 explain! so always work with the worst case scenario.

keep ur old work n constantly review them, they serve as milestones 2 ur progress.
contrary to ur opinion, nigerians dont care about ur beginnings, in art- it's ur portfolio that counts.

if u have a good and 'defendable' demo-reel, ppl will listen 2 u.
u just have 2 b professional and prove dat u know wot u r abt n dat u know ur onions.

for example: if dis forum is a stage, n represents a skeptical audience, d question is- do u think u have won believers?

when undertaking a 'job', take as much time as u need realistically to do ur best, and dont post anything 2 d public until its relatively ready-especially when it is to serve as an advertising tool.(unless u expressly state dat its a training or personal development exercise)

i downloaded an e-book on how 2 put 2geda a professional demo reel/portfolio, if u r interested. it has valuable marketing tips.
u could google on ur own too.

well, all that is my unsolicited advice.lol
goodluck bro.

looking forward to seeing ur clips.

Yawn! Did i miss anything, hey vex, one step at a time bro. I'm learnin too, maybe i choose something to complex, did that to drag you outside your comfort zone.

And after 4years,this poo makes Fp.... Smh
