Mini Project: StormTrooper

GraphicAnime · Post by **GraphicAnime** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:36 am

I have finally returned to Anime Studio Pro again.
This is a WIP StormTrooper of StarWars that is part of a mini project that I'm working on... stay tuned

Below are two screen shots. One is the full figure (partially completed) & Closeup of the helmet with the vertices shown.

I used the pen tool/translate, etc. in AS Pro 8 to create the helmet with the help of several references I had to search for.

Looks very, very nice!
Watchout for hands, they look kind a smaller.

Yeah, looks good and I also think the hands look smallish!

Hi thanks,

I'll try to fix the hands once I complete the gun that it will hold.

Thanks

Here is the fixed hand with it shaped over the gun.
I'm still working on the details and will have the rigged setup... stay tuned.

my instinct is that the legs are very long - I would probably put the knees slightly below the first lines down the leg are, and the feet about an inch or so below the tip of the gun...

Here is the link to the run test of the storm trooper.

http://graphicanime.com/testing/stormtrooper_animation/

One of the issues I had was when I applied the "Insert Reference" of the run cycle I created in "Actions". I continue to see a jumping action. A second run cycle was created in "actions" where it didn't have the last frame equal the 1st frame, in order to prevent from having a jumping or slight pause.

I manage to fix this to a point, but a slight jump can be seen.

Any suggestions....?

Thanks.
