Animation, finally

I still haven't gotten an animation worth showing to anyone using DAZ3D, but I've also been exploring the animation features in Bryce. The following is my first animation effort in Bryce. As a test, I rendered it at 15fps, so the motion is pretty jerky, but otherwise I'm basically pleased with the results. Unfortunately, I'm running into an error uploading the file, so it may have to wait until next time.

I hope to buy a new computer next week, so my productivity should increase dramatically as soon as I have the new PC set up to my satisfaction.

Finally, I was notified last week that I was a semifinalist in the Illustrators of the Future contest for the second quarter of this year. The pictures I entered for that quarter were some Bryce renders I had done very shortly after starting to work with the program earlier this year. I believe that the work I entered for both the 3rd and 4th quarters is stronger, so I'm hopeful that I'll do better for those quarters. Here are the pictures I submitted for Quarter 2.


Finally, as soon as I have the new computer set up, I plan to start posting to this blog weekly. My intent is to start uploading some of the comics strips I've written and drawn over the last few years, as well as new work. The three strips I plan to feature here are "Roadfrogs", "Ivy League" and "Pawns". And I may even put "G.I.Jeff - A Really Average Hero" on here too.
