Description
Made this one for the practice. Fun thing though: took me more time getting that stupid ground shatter thingy simulation to work than it took for the accual animation of the creature xPThe model/rig/texture is not mine. Its sandking from dota2.
Hope you like it
Feel free to give me some feedback
Its not any final product, so i will go back and tweak thins one some more
And oh! If you have any tips on how to simulate some cracks/shatter effects, pls do tell.
Made in maya

Woah, this is only practice? It looks amazing
There's only a few small things I see, I think there could be a little more drawback anticipation when he goes to strike the ground. The action where he walks forward before he goes to swing could be taken a tad slower -you could also push his abdomen a little lower so that it adds anticipation into rearing up to strike. Like a wave-like motion!
That's it really, this looks great! Especially that pose at the end, it's very well executed

Its very well done, seamless. Though I'm curious how long it took to do from scratch?

Hmm. dont really know, have played and tweaked it some evenings now. 5-6 hours maybe.
Hard to tell

I wanted to get into it and was just curious if theses thing took forever, 5-6 hours is nothing. So I guess I'll be getting into it. I've got Autodesk 123d to learn the basics, but I was wondering where you can find more advanced tutorials for the more advanced programs, or do you have to go to school for this?

Just s ou know, Im only talking about the animation. Someone else has done the model, texture and rigg.
Anyhow! There are tons of tutorials for this. I recommend Autodesk maya for animation. Well maya for every work in 3d.
Good places for tutorials:
youtube
digitaltutors.com
www.3dbuzz.com/ <----- they have good basic tutorials for the beginner (I started out here a ^^ with this video www.3dbuzz.com/training/view/m… ) Really the basics of basic with maya
Then I've gone 3 years of school studying maya
But the tutorials and the right mindset can land you a job if your lucky and hard working

Thank you that's very helpful. Though I'm not doing it for a job at the moment, just a hobby for now until I get a handle on the basics, then I'll look into school and a career. But before I dive into that I need to justify the money that will go into such a purchase, I dont want to buy it just to realize I cant figure it out. I'd have to guess that anything that takes 3 years to learn in school is infinity complex, but we'll see how it pans out. Thanks
