Preserved Topic: April Sig Contest - Robots - Chatter (Page 1 of 1)

I'm not sure, but I think Amerasu forgot to create this thread.

Well, you all know the drill...comments and stuff on the sigs here, entries only in the other thread.

Oh, and the other thread is here: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum14/HTML/001526.html

Turns out robots are fun.



(Edited by WarMage on 04-13-2004 21:46)

warmage: they are both absolutely fantastic! i love them!
btw, why are you posting them in the chatter thread? time to get them in

Checking last details...



Yup, needs some adjustements...

Warmage : I agreewith mas, this second robot is absolutely lovely.

Moon, I just LOVE it!

Nothing more to say... it's just GREAT!

Thanks Jung !

I'm not satisfied with the filesize, and the end of the animation requires some smoothing in my opinion... but the filesize is already too big. So, I'll post it as it is.

Moonshadow, I think it's awesome, but maybe you could do something to help the first few and last few frames? It's really abrupt.

Shine and shine. :: [Cell=992] :: [See my team's 30 second animation]

Moon Shadow: I love it! Have you considered making it a continuous loop, though? Like having it sit there for a little while, take off, fly around a bit, then land in the same spot? It might help with some of the abruptness of the animation.

I remember that game! Lunar Lander. Excellent work.


You are getting sleepy...sleepy. You will go to the North Wing....

7\\ <- Have you seen this Dalek? Silver/black coat, one stalk eye. Answers to RN3.

I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do with, uh... with what I've got.

And on the other background.

LOL!

Beautiful, RN3.

Is it just me, or is RN3's sig just a numeral seven followed by a forward slash? It's just me, isn't it...

Great job, mas. Is that your entry?

-----------------------------

If practice makes perfect but
nobody's perfect, why make practice?

no, no entry over here. this is my normal sig, since this is just the chatter thread.

TaoBot
Moon, I love the idea I see what you mean by the filesize, good luck with that.

Suho, what do you have against the number 7?

Well, nothing in particular... personally I kind of like the number 3, but I suppose I can live with 7...

. . 7? ... Your Dalek's broken.

3?

7?

Come on guys, you know damn well the answer is 42!

Ok, why when I click the "EDIT" button it opens the previous message and not mine?

Too weird...

hm... I fixed that, darn it ;-)
If this is happening to you, send me the complete url shown in your address bar of the thread in which it's happening.
Just to note: I was able to edit this post right away.

I like that robot Tao.


< Ozone Quotes >

Jung: 3 (my favorite number) * 7 (the number of the Dalek) * 2 (me and you ) = 42.

Ok, I updated my lunar sig... Smoothed almost everything, except the acceleration : otherwise, it gets very slow and not realistic at all. I know that the sig as it is now is not really realistic, I undervalued inertia a lot, but hey I like it.

Suho, I too first thought about making a loop but I much prefer this sig as when you play lander, your ship being dropped somewhere on the screen.

I've got a big problem though. In ImageReady, when I leave the background layer #2b0404 turned on and save, the sig weights approximately 12kb. However, once I turn off the layer and save with transparency the size jumps to more than 70kb. It never happened before... What am I doing wrong ?

Tao : Thanks ! Love your robot too

Jung : Is that a terminator eye ? Very weird ! Perhaps you could animate your name in it ?

Edit : *Slaps his forehead* lol I am a Sci-Fi addict and I don't even recognize dear HAL, sorry Jung !

Moon Shadow: Come on, Jung's robot is a remake of HAL 9000 in 2001 : Space Odyssey. Btw it'd rock if the red light went off after a while.

Moon: It's HAL from 2001... I am working on an animated version... Will see how it goes. Still love your sig, takes me back... I wasted many quarters on that damn game!

Suho: Gotta love numbers! And I guess Deep Thought was right and the answer is indeed 42 we just didn't know the question until now!

Tao: There is something just so damn creepy about that taobot! I love it! I think it would even look more cool if the bottom shadow was actually faded into board colors so you don't actually get a sense of shape. It looks so much like it is lying in wait for something and the bottom edge is almost dark enough to blend in but a little darker and I think it would look even better. Just MHO.

Tyberius: It happened on both posts in this thread above. The reason I posted again was to see if I could edit the original post. I could and that is how the first message was marked edited by me trying to edit the second post.

Anyway, back to animating HAL...



Edit to put in the animated HAL. And Tyberius I guess the edit is fixed as obviously I just did it...

(Edited by Jung on 04-16-2004 08:15)

Like that sig, Jung. It's a little choppy when fading out, though.

This is my effort so far....
used some basic wires to give the robot some lifeness... also chose the round robot thingy... how original... I also tried to have some electric activity around the orb and animate it with displacement map similar to the flag tutorial... but it look to much like a waving flag.... so i canceled that... would be nice if someone could help me with the lightning animation...

any suggestions and criticism would be welcome :P

thnx

cheerio,

David

p.s:
for those who wonder who i am....
