Nice start ak!

Some good reference material for that would be Pixar's Luxo Jr.. Lots of one-legged hopping around. =)

Previously I added a test on wrapping wire around a hand. I have expanded on it and given it a forearm, also i changed the pattern that the wrapping followed. I made 4 tests to see what suits best. The fourth and final test, I think is the best.

Red square means go!

What do you think?

I haven't implimented the barbs on the wire totally yet, its a long and boring job, which i will do when i do not feel creative. At the moment.. I'm on a creative spree.. which isn't good because a) im at skool and B) i'm in exam period.

It looks ok, but a bit wierd...rather than barbed wire going round and round it looks like lines going across the arm. it's not very believable, sorry... :unsure:

But good work any way! :D

G'day Wiz!

Thanks for your thoughts, but err they didnt help too much.
Any ideas as to how I could go about making it look more believable?
Do you find anything wrong with the pattern that the wire is wrapping?

Thanks A Bunch!

If you sort of, bent the wire before it wrapped around again, then it might look more like wire, at the moment, it just looks like lines on a hand...keep it up though!

Okay. So in Computer Science 3 AP, most of us get really bored from coding the same damn card game over and over again so we mostly just hang on the internet. However, A computer wiz friend of mine (he's started up a small business with his mom where they create custom software. This kid could pass this class 3 times by the end of the year) and I just fiddle around in flash and create mini-movies for the rest of the class to enjoy.

He's currently making a monster truck game and uses code to move his symbols. I do simple frame by frame. (Im currently working on a short zombie clip) This is my short little alien movie I made in 30 minutes of class. I do not have a pen tablet at school and I dont bother changing the fps from 12 because I really dont want to put so much effort into it. This animation was done with 80 frames (all key frames) using singles for all layers. Enjoy. :)

First time I've seen you in this thread!? :o
Looks good too. You could have your own 30 cartoons in 30 days (excluding weekends)
:lol:

On another note, how many years of school have you got left? I have always had the feeling you were older than me? :huh:

Hey Ak, nice plan. Don't get too bogged down doing the plan and just go out and do it; you learn the most by learning from your mistakes, and this comes from a certified perfectionist. ;) Get crackin'.

You're getting a bit fancy with leaving the toes down through the passing position, but that should be okay if you take the time to make sure it flicks up in a satisfying way. Your side-to side weightshift could stand to be exaggerated more.
