3D Mike

[gellin]

I had to make a 3D character for one of my classes so after I finished I modified it to look like Mike.

Here's a picture:

And here's a short movie of him throwing a baseball

Here's a shockwave of him that you can rotate

Enjoy.

Not bad! Is it possible to get a 360 view of him? And by the way...the animation thing didn't work.

The movie does work, just not when you click on it. Try copying the url and pasting it in the web browser to go to it. Also, I put up a shockwave of Mike that allows you to rotate him.

Not bad, gellin. I'm impressed!

[Mitchel Kennedy]

Haha That's neat! And it's aslo the first 3D Mike I've ever seen! Maybe it's the first 3D Mike in the world!

That's awesome! You did a great job on that..... the throwing animation is really good.

Gellin, I'm curious as to how long it took you to make the model, as well as the animation. ?

[gellin]

Well I adapted it from a previous model that I had done. I can't remember exactly but the original model took at least 20 hours to do. I changed this one around and had to make ears and what not since my last guy had a hat. I'd say I probably spent about 4 or 5 hours on him.

As for the animation, I use 3dsmax and have the ability to add any motion caputre data that I can find to him. So it was just a matter of seconds before the throwing animation was applied. I can easily substitute any animation I find, including some drunken or dancing animations that are pretty funny.

that's awesome!

Would it be possible to put a base ball in his hand or is it just that the base ball dosn't show up on my computer?

[gellin]

Yeah I could put a baseball in his hand but I don't think I'm going to. It's really easy I just don't feel like adding it in
