Title: Some of My Old Works
Post by: bobg on July 18, 2020, 02:01:41 pm

Hi All.

It's been many years since I used Animator and published on this forum. I thought maybe the current modelers would enjoy a look back at what I was doing then. My system was Linux and so Anim8or ran under a 'wine' Windows emulator. Nevertheless it worked perfectly.

One of my earliest starts (2005) was an idea to do some scenes from Alice in Wonderland. Nobody seemed to like my initial efforts so I eventually dropped it. I've added some attachments from that project and Han Solo (2005). The models of Han and Chewbacka were fully rigged.

Here is a link to a 10 second challenge where the idea was to animate a ten second sound byte.

(Steve here: I think I can fix your links:)

I did a bit of scripting to create sparkles for a quick animation of Tinkerbell. That was before scripting was coded into Anim8or

Hello bobg.

 Some memories there. (https://i.postimg.cc/6QhpTB37/Smile-Blnkwhite.gif)

 See the 10 second club is now the 11 second club. I remember your video, and it was from that video i learned that the 10 second club existed.

 I remember Hans and Chewy, and i remember the Alice walk test.
 These were done when i became a newbie, and were an inspiration to all us newbies at the time, i'm sure.

 Strangely tho, i don't remember tinkerbell, and she's awesome!.

 You'd be aware of the upgrades to Anim8or since then. (some of them anyway, coz there has been a LOT)

  Maybe you'll find time to 're-explore'

 A very pleasant surprise to see your name, and some of your work, again.

 Nice one bobg (https://i.postimg.cc/6QhpTB37/Smile-Blnkwhite.gif)

Hi Steve. Thanks for the help.  It's so good to see you are still here. The forum feels like coming home. Anim8or is such an excellent package, especially for someone starting out. If you have seen the intimidating UI of the latest Blender you know what I mean. For years, I found myself regularly discovering features in Anim8or. Each one added whole new worlds of possibility for modeling, texturing and animating. I think it took about two years for me to discover the full use of curves in animation. I used them in camera tracks, walk paths and roller coasters. Very little of that got past the 'proof of concept' stage and was never published on the forum. Much of what I did has been lost through disk failures and changing operating systems over the years.

@johnar. I certainly remember you. Your early work in facial animations challenged me to study the subject. If I remember correctly, it was the inspiration for the 10 second club effort. I have been thinking of doing a new Anim8or project. Also I've been thinking of redoing a horse I did but never quite got the animation right.

@davdud, Thanks. I hope to inspire starting anim8ors to dig deep. I'm sure I never fully produced what Anim8or is capable of.

Best regards to All and keep on anim8ing.
Bob G.
