Renamon preview

[jonbotone]

eyes don't look right

[kreinz21]

I love renamon, very realistic, very cool, great vid 10/5!!!

[tangletailpro]

I know walk animations are hard but you might want to add a bit of a drag on the wrist to make her seem more relaxed the feet sems fine almost like how she walked on the anime

[DEXtrumZ]

Personally, I say it's a good start.

[WolfeMasters]

The feet animation look a little off. It looks like she is trying to kick dirt behind her as she walks. The flicking of her feet does not look right. Try having a friend walk back and forth in front of you and watch how their feet move. Also have an animation of her walking without spinning, that should help you pinpoint exactly what looks off.

[KazemonFrontier]

You should make a fan Digimon movie!

[killersodapop]

dip it pop ittwirk it stop it cheeeck on me

[880728leonjf]

good modeling, goor rigging, good all!

[gothickari]

Ah, alright then. Thank you very much. =3

[gothickari]

So what do I look up to find a 3D graphic design thing? 0.o I want to know because it seems really interesting.

[LDragon]

If you want to make your own stuff from scratch, you might start by Google-searching for a couple of freeware modelling apps -- Wings 3D or Blender 3D. I don't use them, myself, but I've heard plenty of positive reviews ... along with a few choice words about Blender's non-user-friendly interface.

If you'd rather play with existing posable figures, I can recommend a freeware character studio app, DAZ Studio, available at daz3d . com. It's somewhat Poser-compatible.

[gothickari]

Nice 3D, how do you do that? Can you please tell me? I would like to know.

[LDragon]

Well, I spent several years mastering the idiosyncracies of at least a half-dozen software applications, including two modeling programs, a UV-mapping tool, a paint program for texture-making, and a character-studio app called Poser 7.

Your mileage may vary.

[karjala55]

I love her and her bushy tail ^^

5\5

[sentinal133]

the legs look like a halo elites...

[leewardjr]

Very unusal but yet very interesting and the song really suits Renamon.

[dnangeldragon]

her tail seems little big

[pockets08]

what the fuck....

[scriterss]

too much kick-back on her feet

[KikiPooded]

Will you ever release the renamon model?

[XANA8446]

after watching both videos i see the huge diffrence

[Lukasuniverse09]

ldragon it's so funny i like it and i laugh with it watching renamon walking and hearing this music it's just the funniest

[Brantley0]

r0fl imma go take a shower righ tnow!

[920316player]

good

[fallenangel7127]

Just to let you know her tail is a bit round. You probably already knew though or fixed it.

[LDragon]

I'm aware of it. I've been using a different model of Renamon lately.

[fallenangel7127]

Yea I watched that after this one but everyone else was saying stuff so I felt like saying something to. I knew you probably already knew but I felt like saying it. Its really good by the way. I don't think I would be able to get it this good, I'm more of the old school drawing on paper with pencil type.

[cheetahfur]

this is good, pretty smooth and realistic movements.

Ive not seen Digimon before, but the arms do seem out of proportion, and the tail too, but this may be as its supposed to be...

Very good anyway.

What software do you use?

[LDragon]

Poser 7 for rigging, animation, and rendering.

MilkShape 3D and Hexagon 2 for modeling.

Ultimate Unwrap 3D for UV-mapping.

Paint Shop Pro for textures.

VirtualDub, AviSynth, and TMPGEnc for video.

[fallenangel7127]

You haven't seen Renamon?! What has the world come to?!!!????!! Okay please type in Digimon Tamers on youtube. It is the best season in my opinion. Please just watch it for a second it's great. In my opinion Renamon is the best digimon. So that's why I freaked,sorry.

[kalfarlukass]

Please tell me where I can download this music, or who's the singer. thanks

[LDragon]

The performer is Beyoncé Knowles.

The full-length song can be downloaded at Amazon . com, in MP3 format, for just 99 cents. Or five "Pepsi Points", whatever those are ....

[kalfarlukass]

I've looked for it but can't find it.Can you tell me ful name of this song? thanks very much.

[LDragon]

Check On It (feat. Bun B and Slim Thug)

[Raitaro85]

nice walk cycle. very well done. animal legs are really hard to look well. how many ik handles do you have on the legs?

[LDragon]

Standard Poser IK chain on each leg ...

thigh -> shin -> foot (goal)

... although lately, with digitigrade leg structures, I've been experimenting by adding the toe to the end of the chain.

[dominicanboy12]

lol the two sharingans on her both legs...what did you do to sasuke you jerk!! XD LOL jk

[LDragon]

Sasuke?

[DevilTrito]

That's awesome.. why do you have so many renders? Are you planning on doing a series, or something?

[LDragon]

Most of my posted stuff is just test footage, made while experimenting with material settings, morphs, or newly-rigged figures.

I have no real intentions of doing a series. It would take forever to render on this one machine, and I'd rather be doing other things with my computer during that time.

[naruto4210]

lovely tail looks alittle big oh well asome GO XDDD

[ilovEspionKnux]

her tail is too fat

[LDragon]

Agreed. Happily, the model I'm currently using has a much slimmer tail.

[Comandershepherd]

is this model going to available for download. all your models are great such as krystal and furrent and furrnaldo

[LDragon]

I won't finish and distribute this one, but I might make a RyokuKitsune version available, if he grants permission.

[Comandershepherd]

thanks man jus send me a message when youre done

[Anubis1243]

thing

[Anubis1243]

wow thats a awsome fox

[artiste45]

Its from Digimon :)

[Anubis1243]

i thought so =P

[Al1F4]

Renamon is awesome.

[97renee]

poofy tail

[Riksfalto]

Cute.

[Givijoarna]

that looks great,,, um, a little question, is it possible i can download this renamon model With the bones for poser?? i have tryed to add bones on the model, but i fail :(, enyway keep it up,, i love your work Little Dragon :)

[LDragon]

I don't have permission from the author to redistribute, sorry. It's not in a good state at the moment, anyway. When last I worked on it, I'd started chopping up the head to add a mouth, then gave up when I realised how much work I'd need to put into it.

[squirrelkinns]

putting a little hip movement would improve that walk also

[LDragon]

I *did* add some hip-sway afterward, in addition to eye-blinks and the character glancing briefly at the camera.

[Arata75]

can u put up a vid of that? and also, is the software u used free? if not do u know any free ones?

[LDragon]

I rigged a different Renamon model this weekend, and have rendered new footage using the same motions. I'll post a video in a few hours.

No, none of this software is free, but I can recommend freeware modeling programs like Blender and Wings 3D, along with DAZ Studio (a freeware character-studio app).

[Arata75]

i have blender, but i have no idea how to use it, so it's just been sitting on my desktop unused for weeks. i'll try the other two and get back 2 u.

[Digimon1991]

Thnx mate

[Digimon1991]

Who was singing this song?

I have forgotten it.

[LDragon]

Beyoncé Knowles.

[redlinkar1]

omg! good! proceed! good luck! great! 5 stars! :Dthis is so amazingly good!

[indiciumorbis]

great - fix the eyes and tail - and this'll be great!

[SakuratheHealer]

xD The tail's so poofy.

[sephirothclone712]

yeah this is true...hum...

[FireRaiderGFX]

Hey there! It's done. It's done quite well. And the animation is quite smooth and natural.

The tail looks kinda big and off tho. Try a different technique...

Ps your mesh smooth destroyed the face. The face corners should be sharp. And the head lookskinda too flat.

But, other than that, it's good ! 5/5

PS try rendering it in Maya with toon plugin. Should be interesting...

[XRenamonX]

Hehe...Cute!

[R4Akai]

*claps!!!* lmao wow!

[blade853]

so thats what you furry fanboys do locked in your rooms... *shivers* >_<

[LDragon]

What, study 3D animation? Doubtful.  But at least it'd keep them off the streets ....

[xoftoh]

Cool job, works grear with the music.

[KnifeSoldier]

Not Bad... Keep working on it till it looks perfect.

[ZombieDoctor]

YAY RENA! nice vid. I hope it turns out nice

[takashy87]

looks nice.. but the feet look a bit like horse feet when they move... :/ I dont think that Renamon moves her feet so.. :s still nice... :D

[TyphonPlume]

I honestly like what i see, and wouldn't mind getting my hands on the finished product for my own renderings.

[LDragon]

I'll finish it eventually. Right now, I'm working on CharleyFox's model of Krystal, from Starfox Adventures.

[TyphonPlume]

Ah that is cool. I'll eagerly be waiting for the release of both.

[ironraptorstudios]

walk cycle is very good, however I notice the hips are very static, When any living thing walks, the hips sway a certain way, other than that it looks great!

[LDragon]

Good observation.

I did add some sway to the hips afterward.

[ironraptorstudios]

I know it's nit picking, but when you're doing walk cycles, the problem lies in that you're seeing that animation loop over and over, the more times you see it the easier it is to pick up certain animation flaws.

[overmind2]

I used something like that to make a skin for Grand theft auto 3 and vice city :D

[sneffels]

excelent work on that the walk cycle is quite well done

hope to see more some time

[melodyweisze]

It is soo funny!

[ox0UchihaSasuke0xo]

were do u get the program to make 3D moving animation thingy meow~

[jobis4d]

fun  but short

[wonrei16]

her tail is a little too fat

[NekoUriko]

Nice, been wondering how i could do that. I interested in computer animation and rendering but I don't know how to do it, some things are confusing to me. How do you make a skeleton on Maya and add the skins?

[LDragon]

I have no idea how it's done in Maya ... I have different modeling software. In Poser, you import a mesh and then rig it (add bones) in a setup room.

[NekoUriko]

Oh well thanks anyway, my teacher said he heard of Maya but its even harder for him since its 3-D and stuff. I'll see if I could make something, lol wish me luck.

[MagicianMX]

build different body parts, then convert them into mesh,texture it and build a skeleton for the character then add the different body part to the skeleton then set up a sequence for the character. Finally go to scene then import the figure,and the sequence then make a video.

[NekoUriko]

how do you build the body parts, I'm still trying to work it out seeing as I never did something like this before.

[ATiRAGEPRO]

LOL wtf are you playing this music for????

[LDragon]

I needed something that could loop every 12 seconds.

[RedNeck47]

Yes, I do like what I see :)

[DIGIMONDIGITERS]

LOL That was fun but short...
