Impressive!

Nice effect bros! This is the kind of creative thinking that breeds a good FX artist.

My guess is the shot was actually taken from the front (probably help from a friend) , your reflection from your neck down looks photoshopped

Thanks a lot. I'll do that today.

Looking for lockformer and steel bending machines.

Does anyone have any idea where to get them?

I've searched the web, but they're all outside the country.

I believe some metal fabrication is done in Nigeria, surely there are places one can get these machines in this country.

Thanks in advance.

Wetin dem use kill dem? Cos me no c any blood ooooooo

Me sef dey wonder.
Maybe na rat poison.

I played around with it a bit . It's quite easy to get into.
Just search online for it.

Maybe marvelous designer - http://www.marvelousdesigner.com/

Yeah, mail me. Free only weekends.

The truth is most graphics artist here trained themselves using tutorials downloaded online.
That's how I learned, so anytime anyone asks me for help I just give them tutorials I downloaded.

If you are looking for a training school, Aptech is a popular option, but it's quite expensive.
Then there are those training centers you see advertised on posters all around Lagos.

You can also check online - I found a few on [url]www.[/url] , but I can't vouch for their quality.

where does one start from.

Adobe Flash and Toon boom can be used to create something like Area.

On Area, Adobe illustrator is used to create the different body parts which are then animated in After Effects.

They've also used Toon boom on other projects.

It's cutout animation like South park , so it takes a very small team a few weeks to a little over a month to produce.

South park is produced by a considerably larger team and take just a week to make an episode.

This is good news.

We once considered getting a 3d printer at work to create physical samples of our designs to present to clients instead of just using 2d/3d renders
We scrapped the idea for a number of reasons.

Anyways, I'm looking to try it out on personal projects.

Sorry to say though, your site makes you look unprofessional.

Do you have pics of any 3d print you've done , cos everything from your site is obviously off other sites.
At least provide samples, let's know what you are capable of.
Would also like to know the materials you can print with - e.g. ABS , metal

Look at this site for example http://www.shapeways.com/

There are a lot of people interested in this, please step up your game.

The Story is about a witty house-keeper trying to brag about his madam as his chic and was almost succeeding until she interrupts him and bla bla. But how could you not have noticed ?

I bet you anyone that watches the video would be just as confused. Decent job though.
I noticed you improve on your facial animation and I like what you're doing with your blog (a fellow max user)

Where are the Animators? ....

Most of the action seems to be on the Blender side.

Welcome back OKX.

Yeah, winners have been rewarded. Except of course spywareczar , since he's one of the organizers.

NeoTesla: This is an example of the very pathetic state of mind of many Nigerians. A good number of these greats are not even remotely interested in the meaningless struggle for wealth grabbing. Materialism is too dumb a notion to be accommodated in their minds. They are very contented with living decent lives and are highly respected in the community of intellectuals. By the way, without calculus, the efficient algorithms that run on the device used to make this post would likely have been impossible to analyze. Some of these guys and their kind have contributed immensely to civilization as we have come to know it;and this, to sane people, is what matters in the real world.

elliottibanga: Potatoe, Please enlighten us on the actual "sheet" that matters in the "real world" today.

I've just been called an Insane potatoe

Anyways, wasn't trying to belittle the contributions of geniuses to the society, but remember my post was in response to sexylogan's comment-

"isnt it funny that the worlds richest people and most powerful leaders dont have high IQs?"

My point is genius doesn't necessarily translate to success.

sexylogan: isnt it funny that the worlds richest people and most powerful leaders dont have high IQs?

i guess being intelligent doesnt necessarily translate to Naira and Kobo...

Yes nah!, cos all these "geniuses" are busy playing chess, solving advanced calculus or travelling to space - basically, sh*t that don't matter in the real world

@aldecoy
Sick stuff man!
Can I have some of what you're taking

You can watch it on Youtube. Just search for "Made of black".
All I can say is Guiness is brave to show this on Nigerian TV.
Someone here is already calling it devilish , plus some other not-so-positive response on the youtube comments.
Best revert to "my friend Udeme"

Congratulations to all the participants. Hope this trend continues and I hope for even greater support next time.

Cheers!

I'll be reaching the winners via email.

1st runner-up: xothermik

Hello everyone!
So the winners have been decided.

2nd runner-up :spywareczar

Hope I didn't miss anyone.
Normally would ask that contestants send their final high-res render to my box, maybe next time.

I know I stated at the beginning that the final renders would be presented to Nairalanders to vote, but I think that would be a waste of time.
I'll be presenting the works to the concept artist and his team.It shouldn't be too difficult to decide the winners
