Squirrel

Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2008 2:30 pm

Okay, I know I wasn't assigned this, but I'm building a squirrel for what ever part in the movie you guys will use it in. But on the bottom, there's a hole between the neck and the body, right at the start of the chest that's not supposed to be there. I also deleted the hind legs because they looked messed up. Ho do I fill holes?

if there is more than about 12 corners on a single hole then this won't work (ideal is a quad, which has 4 corners)

anyway fill holes by selecting all the edges around the hole (as shown in these screenshots) and the going edit>file holes (or press Shift + J for the shortcut)

as for working on a squirrel thats a great idea (and don't worry about being assigned to it, its a community project and as long as your work is good enough and fits with the movie then go ahead and make anything you can think of

(of course remaking the consultant or something similar would be a waste of time but i don't think anyone is going to do something like that)

if you look carefully u can see me using paint to save each screenshot Laughing

THanks, James! It worked!

pS I feel stupid. I wasn't in Edge Select Mode.

ah

well it took me about a week of mucking around to figure out that i couldn't fill a hole if it had more than (12 i think) corners on it

that was when i first discovered anim8or

u know what, I bet u guys woudn't use it in the movie anyways. It's, like, cartoony. completly. It's horrible, so I'll just make a new one, guys. I mean i didn't even use a texture on it or anything. one of my cheaper models.

Well, w2k4u, you guys asked. trust me, though, it's like, my most ametuer work of the year it was made, and bsids, it doesn't resemble a squirell in any way. It's horrible, but here it is. (goto www.dynoinc.tk, then go to photos, then to the 'Random' folder.) Man, this is just horrible. but thx w2k4u, for wanting to see it. PeaceOut.[/img]

That squirrel is amazing man. It might not be the best model in the world but it is cool looking and gives people a laugh or two. I like it a lot. We will make sure we put it somewhere in the movie even if he is only a background character. Nice work. Very Happy

Great work for a first time for a squirrel. If you keep making them then u will start to master the squirrel

Wow. man, my jaw hit the floor when I read that, Deraga and AcP. Man, to me it's horrible, but I guess it's okay for an animated short (I made this around when I first learn how to rig with skinning.) thx, though, guys.

i would if i put money into it...

anyways davdud i think its a good start for a squirel the tail and head are pretty good if the body had more detail and he legs gt updated and u textured it all it wouldnt be bad at all... Good job on it man. =)
