also when comparing to the non cell shaded to the cell shaded each piece seems to have its own dimension but the pieces are so flat without the regular computer animation’s shading (but im sure that was obvious to you -im just noting it).

Anyway i see the good in all these styles their just lots of different ways to show off the awesomeness of Scud.

Oh and lastly I guess Rob hasnt noticed my email (assuming he got it) from the comic con, if anyone is interested, just email me a request and ill forward you some sketches. squireiman@aol.com

The New regular one in 3D is even better (3-D wise) then the one you gave Rob, and the cell shaded 3-D Scud is pretty damn awesome too (but youre right not quite as great as the regular ones). Jeff DID look awesome but youre right about the colors getting in the way…. i never thought of that before I guess somehow i never noticed it in my teenage 3D viewing experiences.

More appreciation! And admiration!

We are not worthy! We are NOT worthy!

I’m going to add these to my Shrine!

So is what youre working on top secret as usual? always interested because i know one day im going to ask and its going to be like dreamworks or pixar or something.

Also I dont want to ask for any more cause i know you have better things to do then to make a million awesome pictures for me, but when you get a cell shaded -non 3-D one of Jeff done, let me know, I’m most interested to see that!

Just another Scud “Look, I’m in 3D!” image: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/videodrone5000/3D/Scud3DTest2.jpg

A quick Jeff test, just to see how the red/blue worked with all the different colors. It’s not great but I got pretty close. Red/blue 3D is limited in dealing with certain colors: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/videodrone5000/3D/Jeff3DTest.jpg

And a cel-shaded Scud, which worked better than I thought it would but still not great: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/videodrone5000/3D/ScudCel3DTest.png

The thing with doing this with cel-shading is that it kinda defeats the purpose. You’re going for a drawn look and it’s popping out at you. The mind doesn’t like it.

Squirel: It would be more like one shot, maybe a few at most, so the viewer’s not obligated to be big geeks like us who just have retro 3D glasses lying around.

I could do it all in the regular 3D look, then convert to cel-shaded (I’d have to take out all the lights and add new ones too but whatever), but I wouldn’t. That look takes like five minutes per frame for my computer to render it and turn it into a video. Plus, a lot of time has to be spent on the detail and lighting or else it looks pretty crappy. Cel-shading really speeds everything up, which frees me up to be more concerned with the quality of the animation.

I don’t know if red/blue 3D would work cel-shaded because of the lack of detail and the outlines.

I don’t have any wallpaper-sized cel renders. The look isn’t finalized so I don’t want to do anything at that scale yet. But if I have time, I’ll see if I can make 3D work with the cel-shaded look.

So wait if i understand you right you can do the whole 1st episode in traditional computer animation and then with minimal effort -convert the entire thing to cell shaded? (To be honest I think the traditional CA is my favorite, it just seems more detailed…I like the textures and the shines, but I do agree that the cell shading is true-er to Robs original style)

but then if you wanted the cell shading to be 3-D that would be harder (then making the regular computer animation 3-D) cause things would have to change?

Would it be a huge pain to show us this picture in cell shaded 3-D?

I dont want to give you more work but g-damn i love this stuff…. its like exclamation points come out of my head whenever I see something posted with your name on it!

Has Jeff been put in Cell Shading or 3-D?

do you have any desktop sized shots of any scenes in cell shading yet?

If you have anything hanging around you that wouldnt mind forwarding to me the screen name is Squireiman@aol.com.

ok enough questions, i gotta wipe away some of this drool….
