The Red Shoe animated short trailer.

[lillmagnus]

The Red Shoe (Den Röda Skon in Swedish) is the first of hopefully 5 shorts with the common theme of a man that finds a shoe in a river and tells us the story how it got there.

4 and a half minute in lenght, animated in messiah and lightwave and rendered and modeled in LW. Took 3 months from idea to finished animation.

wow- cool look
the story made no sence to me cos its not in english nor croatian..
This would be my critique- put in SUBTITLES :)
-What shader did you use to get that cartoon look?

[lillmagnus]

Sorry for the lack of subtitles, an english version is in the works. Can't garantuee a croatian version though:)

Here is a link to my tutorial of how I made this:

It's really beautiful. I like it a lot.

[veljko]

thx for the tutorial
:)

nice one!

[anieves]

very cool effect. The water at the biggining look very cool too. Nice job.

[adrian]

I suppose it would be too much to ask for an .mpg version? I can't view MOV files at work much to my annoyance.....

[Captain Obvious]

Very cool, and interesting. Jag hoppas att få se hela filmen. ;)

[sidetrak]

ack, cant view it here either, but from the screens it looks like a pretty cool/original sort of style , nice

[Night--Hawk]

Hah, i really loved it! very nice! And Byt he way, Are you from Norway?

[lillmagnus]

Thanks for all the comments.
I don't have any way to make an mpg version right now. Is there anything free to convert an avi to mpg?

We are pretty optimistic about maybe getting it shown on tv in sweden. I'm not from norway, but from (the northest north) of sweden.

HA! I remember the test render you posted a while ago. I love the style of your rendering. I don't suppose you'll let us in on how you achieved the look you got?

If you make something cool with this tecnique, let me know, i love all kinds of nonphotorealistic renderings :)

[Zarathustra]

BRILLIANT!

That's the best handrawn look I've seen yet. REALLY nice and very clever. Congrats.

[StonyZhang]

Woooooow,so cool.

[antwik-2]

wow ballt, coolt och anorlunda. Det känns verkligen tecknat.
Låter som de är någon från typ kalix eller kiruna som är speaker?

I think your method might be the way to go! Add rendered lines to it, and motion blur and you should get what I got without the jitter or the morph. Hmmmm...

So now we've got...what...at least three new line styles to play with in LW since last week? I like how yours has a pointlist kind of style...very bic pen sketch book...NICE!

Nice to see there are NEW things to do with even the OLD tools in LW...and they don't always need some new plugin...just some old nogg'en time...

[wacom]

Ok so the combo method works even better, is faster, easier to animate, and gives you 10X the flexablity! To say I'm one happy camper is to put it lightly!

ColinCohen's method, combined with the one I was using before (sans the jitter morph object) gets even better line draw images! I'll post a demo scene tonight after I'm back from work- here are some images.

This way is SOOO flexable...

[WilliamVaughan]

This is truly amazing....I agree with Zara...best I have seen.

I'll give it a test asap.

Do you have any other examples?

Where can we see more of your work?

[MrWyatt]

Wow this is truely something to investigate. handdrawn style without postfilters, plugins and shaders. quick but beautifull. i´m curious to play with it and find out if there are any limitations.

great work guys.

[wacom]

I have a thread going here...

intrest seems to have cooled off 'till I get more examples. Be sure to check out the ones at the end. Once again gradeints are our friends ;)

[hesido]

You guys are, uhm.. .. fantastic!

[pixelinfected]

very great idea, i did in past some toon research by using gradient on incidence angle with some fractal rumors on edge, but not good as your, is amazing.

[wagnerius]

Seems I'm a bit late here... the tutorial link posted by lillmagnus is no more. Any chance it's still out there but under a new address perpahs?
