ANIMATION

Most of the animations that I have done are with Anim8or , but since discovering Carrara I have started to concentrate with this software for most of my rendering

However, I still use Anim8or for modelling as it is the only program that I have come across that uses point by point modelling .My Motto now is to use as many tools as possible and not confine myself to one program.

With Commodore going bust , The amiga 2000 that I had been using with Sculpt4d and Imagine was becoming a dinosaur so I reluctantly took a long break from working with 3D from 1982 to 2005. Then in 2005 I decided to get myself a PC and messed around with it for a year doing video with a camcorder I came across a Program called Blender at that time but found it to be very confusing !! It was one day that I was looking about the internet that I stumbled across Anim8or in Orbiter and ever since then I have again been hooked .My first animation called “The Race” was put together using models that I had made in Sculpt3d on the amiga and ported over to the PC. This took me just under 6 months to complete and I had not even thought about doing texturing until quite late into the development of it . It is shown on the right..

This was my second real attempt at some animation it was called “Wastelands” Again I had used The Mech from my work with Imagine and Sculpt 4D but the aircraft and all other models were modelled in Anim8or I also used terranim8or 6.6 to generate the fire and Explosions.

During 2007 admin at Animanon approached the then Anim8or.org to conduct a inter-forum Challenge for Animation . Though being a little resistant this went ahead The subject was “STRANGE WORLDS”and I contributed with the Animation shown to the Right . The Actual submission on Youtube was my pre-final but I am still working on and off with the animation. The total timer currently stands at just over 9 minutes. Music is from ”The Nutcracker” by Tchaikovsky .ng

My First Animation using Anim8or ART raytracer. This was inspired by an anim8or.com member wondering whethert he still  I had produced would look good animated This is the result, but took over two weeks to render!

My Entry for Animanon.coms “Brought To Life” Challenge Time limited so I did`nt have enough time to complete the ending ( may come back to this at some stage in the future)ee

Transport Challenge - Animanon.com All smoke was created with Terranim8or, and Conveyor using NickE`s TankTrack Plugin

This again was an animation inspired by an Anim8or.org challenge. A still was to be produced “Electric Blue” But I thought it cried out for some sort of Animation rather than just a static picture
