Stick Man Animation

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Well I have decided to drop my mexican projecct for now because Dragonhawk wanted to do a combined project with me user added image

This project is going to be a cell shaded, samurai stickman animation. We still dont have much of a plot but were working on it. Sadly Dragonhawk has went on holiday and will be away for the next 10 days or so and left me in charge of the project, he asked me to model characters, weapons clothes etc... so here is my progress so far:
a dagger type thing

a samurai sword

Cant take much credit for the cel shading as its just a standard toon shader that I have optimized slightly... but thanks user added image

Looks cool so far mate! But what where the stickmen made out of? or did you just lower the diffuse?

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Zyk0tiK: Yeh that futurama shader is quite amazing, shame they cancelled the series... user added image

Dragonhawk: Im glad you like it user added image

and dont worry there is still pleanty to do on this project so I will need you when you come back. BTW I hope your having fun in Bavaria

Back to the project now. I have made a few new stick men characters but there isnt really much point posting any pics as all these stickmen are just very similar to each other. Need a brake from maya, but tomorrow I will hopefully get some envoiroments done user added image
