Post your progress!

Kane · 01:13 PM

ITT post pictures and animations from your upcoming movies and experiments.

After many hours of dabbling with Pencil and 7gen, I've finally figured out how to mod default actors and add my own models (properly) - also thanks to Dustin and his head models, they've been handy.
This is some progress of the learning curve, and some test scenes. The wolf is animated fully and loops, but Spider Gif Maker messed it up.

Post your stuff! Hopefully this thread can be used to inspire others to make movies and share their own creations.

Very nice.

Shirus · 12-05-2020, 06:49 PM

i wish i could post my progress but i suck at doing anything

Shirus · 12-05-2020, 06:49 PM

also damn thats pretty c00l

Plopilpy · 12-05-2020, 08:39 PM

These are some hand done pans for my upcoming PAM.

And, my proudest moment in this whole animation:

That whole scene above is made out of copy-pasted 3D text.

Spider fucks up the FPS a little bit, but here's some slow-mo shit nonetheless.

And here's a grenade made out of 3D text as well.

Hey, notice how Red Scorpion put all his screenshots in the same post, even editing some in later, rather than making a new post for each one? Maybe try that instead of making them all separate so that your post count is higher.

Plopilpy · 12-05-2020, 08:52 PM

I... didn't intend to make my post count higher, but yeah I can see how this is annoying.

EDIT: Mkay done.

Kane · 12-05-2020, 08:59 PM

Hahaha, gotta get that post count up

Really liking the camera pan scenes! The slow-mo bullet dodge is cool too. The bullet impacts are a nice touch - it shows you're paying attention to detail.

The Handmade Grenade is also very OG 3dmm.

Edit: Just noticed the golden dong in the photoframe lmao.

Plopilpy · 12-05-2020, 09:04 PM

Haha I was wondering if people would notice the photo frame!

Kane · 01:13 PM

I managed to import low poly furniture etc, this will be extra handy.

WIP. I'll be re-editing the wolves later to include snapping jaws too, I just need to find the patience to fix up the OBJs, import and replace.

Hermes · 12-07-2020, 02:50 AM

Here are a few screen caps of my movie.

It would be a simple and fun project to work on but figuring out ideas for each part will be hard.

Hermes · 12-07-2020, 02:51 AM

I could really use some help on this movie and I hope I could finish in time for the month.

Plopilpy · 12-09-2020, 05:19 PM

lol

Kane · 01:14 PM

Hermes · 12-09-2020, 06:15 PM

It reminds me of that floating Mario head from Super Mario 64.

Plopilpy · 12-12-2020, 03:05 PM

Those roses are the best part imo

The car's motion is a little sloppy, but I can touch that up

Plopilpy · 12-20-2020, 04:12 AM

Bump. This thread is cool, and I've got a little sneak peek for you guys

Mafia film, babeeee!!!

I'm gonna redo this scene, I wanna fit a camera pan into there

Gorosaurus · 12-21-2020, 08:59 PM

Yo, that wolf head is pretty awesome!

Nixon · 12-22-2020, 03:07 AM

yeah that animation of the guy and the wolf is dope

Plopilpy · 12-22-2020, 03:55 PM

Working on a comedy.

Gorosaurus · 12-22-2020, 07:31 PM

Move the camera-- a little planning makes it 10x more interesting to watch

Plopilpy · 12-22-2020, 07:41 PM

Shit. I already built the entire scene.

Although I already planned to have like at least 6 more camera pans in here, the opening shot is a pan anyways

Kane · 01:14 PM

A lot of your camera pans are very similar. Try panning in different directions - forwards, backwards, right/up/back simultaneously etc. Mix it up, it makes things more interesting for the viewer!

As for progress, here's some mod experimentation:

And no, I likely won't be making anything with this specific model(s). I might upload it later for others to use.

I also imported an Arena, but the textures could use some work.
