Just the face to the newest H.E. Day blob. I'm getting awfully tired of
spaceships, so I decided to do characters. After catching the end of a
Beast War episode, and absolutely loving the visual style, I started on
this dude. The face has 4 texture maps on it, (Front,Jaw,Upper
Lip,Back) and is animated with splines in MegaPov .4. I have the rest
of the body almost finished, lacking only the feet and arms.
I'm also working on a Pov-Native IK system, so look for a demo on
that soon. I hope.
Enjoy and Comment!

Hi,
May I be the first to say "Wow"? Your recent ship and car images in the
stills group have been amazing, and you have shown us that there is more to
the simple blob than meets the eye.
The movement around the mouth is excellent. How did you animate it? Did you
use the lip-synch INC file? It does look more like a cat to me than a bear,
probably to do with the slope of the eyes, plus those ears seem feline.
Out of curiousity, have you tried the isoblobs in MegaPOV yet, and if so,
what do you think of them and their applications?

Gee, thanks.

Nope, I did it all by hand. There are two values, MOpen and MWidth. Both can
be combined to make just about any expression.

No, I haven't tried them. Guess I should.
Thanks for the comments.

What is it saying? The best I can make out is something like "Hail the Day!
Adore him! He is your new god!", or is that just me?
PS: Note 'god' spelled with a little "g" as opposed to 'God' with a capital
"G". I hope no one has been offended, as no such offense was intended. I
love God, and would never want to say anything bad to/about Him.

Nothing in particular. Jut cycling through random expressions.

Just you.
And I'm not going to dignify that god crack with a answer. I'm the furthest
thing from a god.

Most impressive. Since you've already answered that the beast
is not saying anything specific, I was wondering if you are using phonemes
for different mouth/face positions? How are you interpolating between
expressions/poses? As to the POV-native IK system, any idea when
you might have it done, or a description of what you plan to have
it capable of doing?
Thanks,
Wayne Gordon

No, I'm not using anything specific. I'm just using random expressions to
give the impression of speech.

The MegaPov spline system.

It'll be done by the 22nd century. I hope. So far it is able to take a
"shoulder" point and a "wrist" point and make the angles and elbow. This
is done by the use of a heavily modified Vansickle macro.

Nah, I think he's just human. A superb and brilliant human, but a human,
nonetheless. :)
PS: HE, please forgive me for the stupid joke. I just read it again, and it
isn't as funny as it was when I first wrote it. Peace?
