Snow!

The only good thing that came from not having internet is that I got a lot of progress on my crappy future animation project thing.
 
The snow is almost all melted where I live and it's supposed to get up to 70 today. Yuck. Warm, sunny weather makes my room hot. :madpony:

Hopefully in the future when I finish gathering all the needed stuff, but I'm getting closer every time I actually do something with the project.

But I am near the point where I can start taking test pictures, I would have already been at this point if I hadn't decided to almost double the scale I was working at. (I did that because when I made a stapler to scale with everything else, it was so small you probably wouldn't know what it was unless you were told that's what it was and really looked at it.)

Oops, hopefully you weren’t too far along before you had to change it

Luckily I only had a few random office props done, and the new little character things are much better than the old ones since they can move now.

Well that’s good :) so is it like a stop motion thing?

Kind of, it's somewhere between traditional animation and stop motion.

I'm not sure how hard it's going to be as I haven't really started yet, also I just found out I have to redo the legs as they don't seem to work right.

Maybe I should start a thread for this crappy project I'm doing.

You definitely should! I know I’d be interested to see as you work on it at least

You can keep this thread. Doesn’t bother me. ;)

Is it something like this? Once you've looked inside a 3D model you will never see CGI movies the same again! Lol

Animation is why E wants the iPad with the new pencil. It's got a great program to help make drawings 3-D and lots to help animate, too. We're still a ways from that, though. I really hope the stimulus come through.

Ooh that’s so cool that she wants to try animation! Which program is it?
That’s why I had been saving up for a drawing tablet for years (and was still almost $1000 away from the one I wanted), I was super lucky to get one as a present this year from my awesome brother <3
I hope you’ll be able to get her one soon

I honestly don't know very much about it yet. My brother is the genius and tech overlord. He had a specific one in mind. With the new iPad pro and the ipencil 2. If I spend that much, it can't leave the house until at least high school. She's got an iPod touch. The 2019 release that they're still making with the x10 chip and she's dropped it. Too many times. Three times now I've had to figure out how to hard reset the screen because it glitched when she dropped it. She only got it in October of 2019, so it's not old, she's just rather hard on electronics. I told her that I won't let her grandparents spend another $200+ on another if it breaks in a permanent way before it's at least six years old. My dad's old nano is still working and it's over 10!

Nothing that fancy, so far the only program I've been using is MSpaint and a whatever lets a printer work.

Also what I'm doing just involves wiggling some pieces of cardstock around then taking pictures of that, so far I'm not to that point but I do have most of the stuff ready to start testing things almost.

Oh yeah, my friend had to get her niece an otterbox case for her phone cause she kept dropping it (then like a year later when she got an upgraded phone the case didn’t fit anymore >_< )
Well she’ll just have to do her animating at home then :)
