@ Aseye, here's my production pipeline:

Modo - Modeling

BodyPaint/Photoshop - Textures

Softimage XSI - Character Animation/simulation/dynamics

Lightwave - Non character animation (like cars, bikes etc) and RENDERING.

Smith and Wesson 1911

As usual, Modo for modeling and Lightwave for rendering. Gun model has no texture, I'll post a fully textured and well lit version later. . .

@ Grafikdon

your pipeline is really unique,

by the way there is no compositing software in ur pipeline

@ Whalewale I  listed the pipeline before post production, my complete production pipeline is as follows;


Pen/Pencil/Paper - Conceptual design/Storyboards  (Dem be tools na)

Modo - Modeling

BodyPaint/Photoshop - textures

Softimage XSI - Character Animation/simulation/Dynamics

Realflow - Fluid dynamics

Lightwave - Non character animation/Rendering

Syntheyes - Motion tracking

After Effects - Compositing

Audition/SoundBooth/Sonicfire Pro -  Audio

Premiere - Editing/Finishing.


There are other tools like Particles Illusion, Boris FX, Visionlab Studio and 3D animator  but I rarely use them. . .

Dude, i must confess most of ur packages are strange to me, and really have not even heard of some, i use a very common package 3d studio max, still ve alot to earn about it, especially my rendering (lighting and so on), i still have some jobs but rendering them to good output is my problem from now, do u have any materials on rendring, i would be glad if u can help,

grafikdon, do you work alone (on your animated films) or with a team of ppl? cos it seems to me like a lot of hard work. how long does it take to complete an entire feature?

@grafikdon
i saw your anime.,.,.,. at http://www.mayhemproductions.org/Business_And_Pleasure/Episode_1.html
man.,.,.,.its crazy.,.,.,i love it.,.,
keep it comin.,.,.

saw work grafikdon.Real nice-Haven't seen the whole the but just the beginning was tight.
One of my latest work.a bathroom scene

i see a lot of gr8 talents here and was wonderin,  ah! nver mind but i dropped 2screenshots of my works too.had to reduce the pics so i cud fit all 4 in. i'll send the link for the video on youtube later

@resichild

Essh

Codename, so u this good eh

@47
yea.,.,.,thats a lot of improvement

This is the youtube link for my short animation video (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOUsnkWZc0E). if it dosent work just search darkgravity works01 on youtube. I would really like criticism

more 2d works

me again

@Aseye
You would be suprised how good 3d max studio can be.its an all rounder and u can master its rendering, lighting as well as animation capabilities.get some 3rd party plugins and b4 u know it u are creating beautiful CGs.if u dont believe me, check dis animation link on youtube.(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOUsnkWZc0E ) Its mine and its all 3d studio max8.

nice one @resichild,

tried to check the video but its kind of slow, i couldnt real get the real picture, but the little i could see was tight really, i'm just a learner, still need to lay my hands on more stuffs, with time i will be the best,

@WhaleWale
Hi, Wale, i'm a 2d artist learning 3dsmax, was wonderin if u could give me tips on architectural viz and where to get tutorials and materials.
Been thru ur videos and they were very helpful.

Hey guys wats up , Long time no post

@resichild,

I just saw your animation, I was greatly impressed because handling character animation in max is really tough .

check this link out . This is the animation i finished sometime ago

http://vimeo.com/1595063

this is the link to the making

http://vimeo.com/1596104

@Whalewale

Just saw your video and that was cool.Its really good to see a fellow animator who knows what animating with max is.Mine took me about 3weeks cos i had nothing serious doing then. Well, one question can u tell me how u did credits and sync the audio with the video cos i have been looking for the how-to and it just keeps eluding me.And hope we get to work 2gether someday cos i'm planning something big. Drop me a mail anytime, darkhangelle@yahoo.com .Also check out this one(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePQerOmqNRk)The link is also for the house to criticize.it was done a lot earlier than now.the animation sucks at the beginning but gets better(i was freestyling).Hope to get ur feedback.Cheers

@resichild
the video is serious blocky. u may consider postin it somewhere else http://vimeo.com

Resichild i checked your recent video on youtube but it was kind of boxed out,, (Youtube squeezes any video you upload)/,

, Try using vimeo.com, it has a higher if not normal quality,

But i must say its a really pretty peice, Animating 2 or more characters is really tough



For the Questions you asked,

I used credits i used After Effects, Then for the Audio i used Audition (Adobe)

Guys its not youtube's fault.i uploaded d shrunk down phone version encoded wit divx that is y its not clear. Anyway i just posted it again on both youtube and vimeo.com. on youtube, the link is (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPOde0kl0JE) while this is the vimeo link(http://www.vimeo.com/1603187)

@Whalewale
thanks but when u see the vid, i actually animated 4characters and to God it was tough

@zPixel
check out my other video too.the link (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOUsnkWZc0E) or just search darkgravity works01 in youtube.criticism is welcome

@resichild
Wow! i really like your stuffs, you,ve got a good action sense. but i noticed wrong movement when the robot was running towards the other one, it was like it was moving it's two legs at the same time. Well i know with more animations you will definately get better. looking forward to see more.

hey grafikdon, you beat me to the punch. had an idea like your anime that i started working on but it won't be available till late November/december! kind of similar story but with a little bit of twist in them. ( now i feel like a copywrite! ).
guys you just keep up the hardwork and maybe one day we will do a short movie with work production online!

really like what i see here! keep up the good work.

just wanted to add this image i just did a week ago.

can't seem to delete the first image!

guys whaddaya think of my ferarri enzo. i modelled it in 3ds max and painted with adobe photoshop

was bored an had a look at my trusty little made in china standin fan an thot
i should honor it by givin it a 3d prescence.

its kool. i guess u rendered wit scanline.

yeah it scanlin alright. i had a trial version of v ray once but lost it wen my hd crashd. by d way
d pic on d wal is actualli a model of myself. now you all know what i look like. did it ova a year
ago while i was learnin and anxious 2 c me in 3d. was scared of hair and textures then tho.

and these are my shades
