mini robos... actually this model is pretty much one of my favorite models i have made.
i actually made it a few months ago but then used it for some of my short films. i personally like the simpleness in it, but yet it looks like it is menacing in a way.
-in one of the short films the police use these to follow a guy. of course they fly, but also the pin sticking out from the bottom emits an electrical current like a taser- i'll post one of those. also the pin can stick into things making it a stationary camera.

Wow! Great pics korben! how'd you do the lightning effect?

I can almost picture it hovering over inhabitants of a futuristic city keeping a watchful eye out for law enforcement.

Great work.

thank you,

to phoenix-
the lightning and all the composit work is done in adobe after effects- another program i spend a lot of time in. i also got that grunge dirty look in it as well, and keyed my "mini robos" into the picture with the SWAT team member-which is actually me in this pic.

thanks again and if you could have other people critisize, because this is a "model feedback" forum.

thanks again,

Great work Korben. They looks like a freeze frames from a movie ... only thing's, it looks a bit too blury

well like i said -most of these , except for the first two are from the film. the blur is because it helps
1. to make the cgi characters seem to be in sync with the real action film.
2. the camera moves fast in this part- thereforea blur due to the movement

Looks good.

How do you do this ? Do you just take the models from 3dc into this other program or do you make an avi with 3dc then mix the results ?

i make an .avi with a blue or green background and export it to adobe after effects. because as far as i know 3dc can't export video with an alpha channel
thank you very much

KB

to kb:

what do you mean by do a video?

Hi korben
Just thought it would look cool to animate the electricity- animated gif or avi.

i see...

i can do that. or at least try.
after effects will do anything. i'll try to post in a few minutes.

a test to upload the .gif it is around 100kb

no luck with that. i can ony upload a max of 80kb. is this my connection or just the way the forum is set up?

i'll try to make it under 80kb, we'll see
