Re: A New Character is Born, Meet LeeRoy
He looks like my cousins! 
I think his eye balls need to be set back slightly. I'm not so
sure about a cleft chin on a hillbilly. Maybe a little more detail
work on his nose. These are my first impressions.
The back story is...?
I can already tell it will be funny!

Not Rednecks, but country folk, the down the earth people that are very kind and good nature but have a very strong slang to their speech.
I am sure we have met those type of people before, the one that hunt their own food and grow their own veggies and dont have much money but are willing to give you the shirt off their backs. I agree with Steine's comment about the eyes, after looking at it he does have a slight Bubble eye look. I will do the fix this evening.
He will also have a brother Cleotis who is a much fatter and dumb county bumpkin who thinks everything is funny and loves Possum stew and Fried green tomatoes.

Here is yet another image, eyes have been moved back slightly.
Notice that the backside view the shirt is raised, no mooning just the back showing.

Re: A New Character is Born, Meet LeeRoy
So far I have only used TS to do the main portion of modeling and Argile to provide so features to the face and wrinkles to the shirt.
Next up is more Argile to do the morphs and then some color change to get the desired effect of a more pinkish skin tone and variation between the overalls and shoes. YO YO ROCKY.....LOL

Re: A New Character is Born, Meet LeeRoy
Ok, we now have some base morphs designed that make LeeRoy Talk.
Here is the lists of Morphs.
R and L eye blink, R and L Brow Up, OpenLips, Mouth Forward, Mouth OOh, Mouth Hmm.
Here is a sample video of the talking.<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IUb_AngwMV0&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IUb_AngwMV0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube]

What would LeeRoy eat if there were no road kill.

Re: A New Character is Born, Meet LeeRoy
I really like the morphed LeeRoy talking. When he blinks and
raises his eyebrows were supportive of the overall feel. The
mouth movements could have been exaggerated more but I did
enjoy his slight twinge in the right upper lip early in the animation.
I am trying to understand the process you use in making LeeRoy.
1) Did you use individual morphed models and keyframed in a timeline?
2) So the head is rapidly replaced with another morphed head?
3) If this is the case are the eyes handled as seperate objects?
4) If the answer is yes, then wouldn't it be possible to morph hair too?
5) Are you keyframing on the Model side or the workSpace side?
6) How hard is it to have the head move around while morphing the head?
6B) Does this require many adjustments by hand?
This LeeRoy example came out great. I'm amazed more people didn't comment.

Re: A New Character is Born, Meet LeeRoy
See answers in quotes
1) Did you use individual morphed models and keyframed in a timeline? "YES"
2) So the head is rapidly replaced with another morphed head? "YES"
3) If this is the case are the eyes handled as seperate objects? "YES"
4) If the answer is yes, then wouldn't it be possible to morph hair too? "Doing the animation this way will allow you to animate anything and everything you want"
5) Are you keyframing on the Model side or the workSpace side? "Model side"
6) How hard is it to have the head move around while morphing the head? "pretty easy to be honest, ones you develop a system for how you do it then you just repeat the action over and over"
6B) Does this require many adjustments by hand? "Yes and No, it depends what the action of the character or object is. This character along with his brother and several other objects etc... are all part of an animation that I am putting together for the aniboom contest."
P.S. A previous coworker of mine is an extreem programmer in several languages and has wrote many application for companies in the past and current and he is working on a application for me that will allow you to load the various models into it and then using slider bars to adjust the difference between each model so that the final output is much easier. Dont know how long this will take but I will keep you up to date as there is movement on this.
