[idraw90]

I would die for all your programs

[SkaterPwnzYou]

your piece of shit anime looks like ninja warz and world of warcraft had unprotected sex in a gas station parking lot and pulled out a mentally challenged baby with a coat hanger stuck in his ass.

[llam89]

Looks complicated, is 3d animation easier than 2d?

[Thekevinfm1]

[Thayelin]

just saw that you done the animation in motion builder :) never used that but why did you rendered your work in softimage and not maya?

[Thayelin]

Thats an awsome work!!! Please tell me how if you did took the model for extra detail in zbrush or mudbox and did you animated it in maya or in softimage?

[narutachan]

Is it difficult to use the program? I always wanted to learn this things!

[TouchTheCrazy]

[mangekyoux12]

[mechanoid11]

WOW.3ds is all creating, and maya is all movements.

[NaeluVar]

TIAN!!!! Your stuff is awesome!! I figure you watch Claymore right?

[karagu1]

awsome i want to know how to make anime hair like that im always having trouble finding tutorials and figuring ing out could you help me with that

[samy2175]

but how?

[OneiricV]

so... you learned how to use Maya, XSI, Motion Builder, and After Effects. In addition to interfacing, you also learned to customization like how you did with the grass.

Damn... I've got a long way to go before if I'm gonna figure this stuff out on my own.

SO, since this was your final work, and last year at that, did you get a job in the industry? What have you been busy with? I'm wrestling with the idea of going back to school since my current degree isn't much good for me.

[clancycats]

wow! very cool! Say, what is the song in the vid?

[OneiricV]

"Danzai no Hana~Guilty Sky" by Riyu Kosaka

featured in the "Claymore" anime series

[DezzyDreamer]

[myphrill]

I'm also a Maya user, coming across the issue of anime hair. Did you follow a tutorial or anything? I'd love to know how you learnt it!

[eonwe217]

hey really nice stuff,

but how did you transfer animation from motion builder to xsi, did you bake it or something else?

[BlueFlamingPheonix]

Coool! ^_^ that looks so awesome.

[megmily]

what program are you using?

[PADB]

How did you make the eyebrows and did you have to layout the uvs in your model?

[showntian]

yes you have to uv eyes, and it's just normal squashed sphere, you can use plane instead

[KyleTheFrog]

Dude that is so awesome , i'd really like to make a 3d anime series.

[monimoni0147]

dude you rock = D

[swtshar]

marvallous.........

wow..woow...

its chanceless....

amazing facialexpression&character motion....

[showntian]

thanks guys

[Xahnrad]

Nice toonshading and nice tutorial.

Maybe I have to study more about XSI.(at this time I use 3dsmax)

[agaudy]

Soild reel , gratz on your work. wish teh best on job hunting

[showntian]

it's definitely not plane, i cut a sphere into half , and just squashed them.

[shiromanjuu]

Wow, that was a really good. :O

Just a question though, how did you model the anime eyes? Were they perfect spheres in the skull, or ovals or flat planes? I can't seem to get my anime characters look right without their eyeballs intersecting each other.

[showntian]

not until i find a job. Job hunting under economic crisis at the moment.

[Vitius]

I love the style of your video and your work with toon shaders is amazing!

I was wondering if you had/could make a quick written tutorial on some of the shader settings or maybe show a picture of some of your render trees?

Great work!

[chillyche]

Claymore OST. Nice choice. I love your work so far.

[showntian]

[Kiyamlol]

[showntian]

very fast though, u have to pause to understand. Given that you already know how to use XSI

[pmc83]
