Description (EDIT:The glicth that was only showing the first 3 second should be solved now)

Well, here it is!

My very first 3D Sonic animation ( or any animation).
No, Doom Island dosent count. Forget about it.

Have you heard of the Sonic X reanimate project?No? Well, until recently, neither did I.
It a group of people who want to reanimate the entire episode 5 of Sonic X ( why episode 5, I'm not sure).

And that gave me an idea.You see, animating is quite different from modeling. I am lacking in experience, so I need some field work here.
And then I thought, why not do the same?So I decided to reanimate a scene from the episode.It is the dialogue scene just before the big battle between Knuckles and Sonic.
Yes, yes, I will eventually do the whole battle scene as well, but I only had two days to do this (or to be more precise, 14 hours, which isn't all that much). It WAS a good exercise, I learned a lot from it!

And yes, before you say it, yes it is still full of glitches.It is training for me. The mistakes I do here, I will learn how to avoid later.

The animation is a bit choppy isn't it?I followed as close as I could the original movements, but that wasn't always possible.

I swear i once saw something on how to create snow-tipped mountains, where WAS that tutorial?!Urg, I can't remember!

You may have notice something weird about the mouths. The truth is, I didn't bother with lip-sync until shot number 3( Sonic first close up), I just gave random mouth positions.Now I know better than to do that.

Show I get rid of the eyebrow shade for Knuckles?It HAS proven to be a pain.

And yes, there is no sound. I haven't figured out how to add it properly yet.

And for those who wonder, the reason the resolution is so low is because I had to convert the WHOLE thing to a shockwave Flash format, the only thing DA would accept, hence the low resolution.If I had converted it to a gif, the file size would be so heavy that deviantart would send hitmans after me.

So yeah, bummer.

Oh yeah, before I forget. The original material belong to SEGA.
But the model are mine.

At any rate, watch enjoy and comment.Β 
I REALLY need a break after that.

Hehe! Thanks.

Next I will be doing a full episode!

Oh, BTW, I am actually posting another model in the next few seconds, if you are interested.

Uh?Blender?

I mean, my model are made in blender, how else am I gonna use them?

That being said, I DID combine the various camera shots with a program called OpenToonz.But apart from that it is blender.

Is...is that a problem?

This means a lot to me.Really.

It wasn't easy to do, especially Knuckles, it had the WEIRDEST glitch EVER ( groups vanishing for no reasons after rendering)

Oh by the way, since you use texture FAR more than I do, do you know of any way to change the texture reference file in a keyframed manner?

Because that would simplify the mouth animation. When Sonic look surpised, I have to swtich from the ''seriousΒ  mouth'' to the ''happy mouth'' texture, meaning I have to do 2 separate rendering. Could I automate this?

yeah there is actually

TheJudgeX In reply to tailsluver29 [2019-06-07 19:32:41 +0000 UTC]

There is a way!?
Which?

tailsluver29 In reply to TheJudgeX [2019-06-07 19:36:45 +0000 UTC]

with uv warp modifier for changing uvs like a lego face for example

u can also make it into an image sequence too

TheJudgeX In reply to tailsluver29 [2019-06-07 19:40:16 +0000 UTC]

Well, technically it already IS an image sequence. 3 images; close, mid, full.

I never really use UV, but I will have a look.

What I would like thougt, is changing the file pathname dynamically. There's got to be a way.

tailsluver29 In reply to TheJudgeX [2019-06-07 19:42:22 +0000 UTC]

there is one way is through scripting

TheJudgeX In reply to tailsluver29 [2019-06-07 19:43:40 +0000 UTC]

Oh boy.

That is WAY above me there.
I never scripted before.

in the mean time i will research for you

tailsluver29 In reply to TheJudgeX [2019-06-07 19:44:38 +0000 UTC]

hmm... maybe theres an easier way...

TheJudgeX In reply to tailsluver29 [2019-06-07 19:46:10 +0000 UTC]

I hope so.
Because scripting is out of the question for me.

I can't take credit for that.

I just reanimated an existing scene from episode 5 using my models.
It was meant as an animation training, and an existing scene is the perfect storyboard.
