Completed!
So... It's all done my friends. After over 4 months
of work, I realized that completing %99 of an animation only the
one half of the work.
You got to decide what you want, what do you want
it to be look like when you "finished" it, and "how"
do you do it. I really didn't think about "how?" part
before I started making this short animation. Because this is
going to be my first real attempt to make a short animation. So
it was a challange for me. I was in no rush, it was like "let's
see if I could do that..." then "Oh that looks cool!"
type of work. 3DSMAX bone system, rigging, skinning, particles,
I've used all of them in one project and I got lots of experience
point this way. And, there is another thing; know your "current"
limits. I mean, almost everything can be done with 3D Studio Max.
As well as other 3D Applications like Softimage, Maya, or Lightwave.
But
don't expect to create everything in your mind with
just a few clicks. It's like RPG games. You know, you got to slash
little rats to gain experience points a little while. After you
got enough exp point, you could use more powerfull weapons, after
that you gain more experience, then more, more, and then you become
so powerfull that facing agains Huge Dragons. Well... CG works
the same way for me. :) You got to gain experience points before
slaying big monsters... I mean big polygons heh heh.
But don't forget to play. Create something that
gives you fun. Like I did. It was like creating your own movie.
But if it's starting to get boring, don't push yourself hard.
Just do it, forget about perfection. I'm saying this because I
do the opposite. I started to push myself hard when I completed
%75 of the animation. Then suddenly I said to myself "what
am I doing? This meant to be fun" Well... it won't work that
way. You got to drive your work to the fun. Because nobody can
create something he/she doesn't know, and if you try to make something
you don't know, it gives you no fun! Remember my RPG Example.
:)
Thank you all my friends. I really enjoy doing this,
and I hope you enjoy watching it. (I always wanted to say that
