Michaels Lord of the Rings: AOCC Pass only

Michael's Lord of the Rings, AOCC Pass

This animation is rife with exotic plantlife and bizarre creatures. It took 48 hours to render!

Notice the "jiggling" effect on Lothar's flabby flesh. I used 3 types of jiggle: soft body dynamics, jiggle deformer, and Maya ncloth (water balloon preset blended w chain mail preset)

This was my first time experimenting with Maya paint effects, and I may have gone overboard, transforming the generic Maya paint effects "feeding creature" into a hero character,

comments?

The jittery texture on the plant things give them a clay-mation look.

Where is Lord of the Rings?

[AzukanAsimbu]

What program do you use?

[WilliamNoahSchnapp]

@danielodors It's most likely the result of feeding a 3d texture into the normal map/displacement map of the object and not parenting the texture to the object. Because a 3d texture (if not baked onto the object) is projected constantly, the object appears to be moving through the texture's space.

If you look closely at the big ogres right hand it has a cigarette between it's fingers.

Beautiful work dude, well done!

@SupermarketGiant you have a point, i just didnt think the vulgarity was necessary. as an artist he has the right to name his peice whatever he wants and you should be open minded enough to respect that. Sometimes i name my peices the first thing that comes to mind. I think he mightve done the same thing.

[SupermarketGiant]

@Omegaroth Why are you talking about how hard it is? Thats not what i have a problem with. I'm sure its crazy hard! But he puts the Lord of the Rings name on this for no reason. Its just stupid.

[Omegaroth]

@SupermarketGiant regardless, you have no idea how hard this much is to pull off. you could never do this in your life
