I don't think anyone on the planet would mistake mine for his, but couldn't resist giving it a try:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/PonchTry1_zpsd5232ddb.gif)
Had him doing more than just spinning, but then Anim8or crashed and I lost some work. The suggestion about frequent saves while playing a game also applies to artwork, apparently.
Do a ghost!
@ Ghost
It was in the back of my mind, but couldn't locate the one image that had your avatar's full figure. A web search for "kee" didn't turn her up, but did find some interesting bikini clad gals. Point me in the right direction, and I'm willing to try. I have a use for her, too, if I can get a better look.

That is not a ghost. I am talking about these bedsheet-clad spookie things? You know, like Pac-Man ghosts? They should work nicely with that square-is style youve got going there (nod)
@ Ghost
Square? Where'd that image go?
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/forGhost1_zpse160f617.gif)
I'd rather do your avatar.
Now that's a cute ghost!
@Ghost
And it's round, too. Square seems to work pretty well for Sponge Bob.
Goodness! I'm so slim and studly now! :cheesy:

Since this already is the Rumpus Room. I know that some female cows have horns. But can a male cow (outside of Minecraft) have an udder? I'm to lazy to read it up on Wikipedia.
Speaking of square things, I recently had the opportunity to tour the Square Peniks research lab. I was much impressed with their recent advances in audio technology. I'm posting this; it is from an ad campaign that will begin shortly.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/edisonRecorderOut_zps136a293c.png)
Square Peniks sound innovation. I like everything about that picture! :cheesy:
Wow, the sound quality is AMAZING :=
Aren't all cows female? :P
You should try to switch to Blender. It is easy to get the same results with a small amount of work.
It's Gumby Ponch! :-D
I think you've found a niche, jwalt! You know, a game with "clay," "gumby," characters in a toy world might be kind of retro-cool.
Uh... PonchosaurusRex? PonchZilla?
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ponchZilla_zps7d4db678.png)
Or, maybe... a chicken.
Left one sure is a Creeper. In DISGUISE. They do that, you know? :=
Decided to make a few T-shirts for Ponch, to help cover up his studly hungwellness.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ponchTs1_zpsf2659c64.png)
Thanks, Ponch, for putting up with this! I'm having fun, but I may be the only one. Since I don't have a Tokyo street scene, nor have I rigged PonchZilla, I'm running out of things to do with Gumby Ponch.

You make it dance like his avatar.
I'd had the model rigged and skinned at one point in time, but Anim8or crashed and I realized I had not saved since I finished the model. I'd lost the bones and the weight painting. His avatar dance was my intended animation, but I've been reluctant to go back and try it again.
If I had that Square Peniks shirt, I would proudly wear it every day without pants. :=
Also a big fan of that Bovineoraptor. A rare glimpse into the controversial theory of prehistoric carnivorous cattle, the scourge of early man and the true monsters behind most of our ancient myths of horrifying monsters (Grendel, Tiamat, etc.). One day, science will be forced to accept the truth of these ravenous, milk-squrting monsters who so terrorized our distant ancestors that legends of them live on even today. And brave people like you will be the ones who make that happen, jwalt. Keep fighting the good fight, sir! (nod)
I worked some on the dance, rigging and skinning. Nothing to write home about, but my meshes seem to be fairly well behaved.

I modeled the snowman character in Anim8or, but the concept came from a Blender tutorial at http://www.katsbits.com/
I couldn't even get through the modeling portion of the tutorial in Blender.
A snowman is better than Turkey? I'm pretty sure that's offensive to the residents of that fine country.
Though to be fair, this snowman is quite cute.

Inoffensive to all countries, an improvement over standalone turkey, and best: In a pinch it can
be made with turkey in it, elevating it to a compliment to everyone,

It needs to shift its body weight to the sides, turning the torso, and then it also needs to push the hips to the sides as well. Basically to add to that cartoon style dance of weight shifting and quick movements. Has potential though, I like it.
Here's a quick update. Should I do something meaningful instead? Maybe, but what could be more meaningful than a cow?

Monsieur, you have my vote!! :-D
Probably a tad too much bum wiggle, but most importantly you're only side shifting the shoulders, and the waist looks like it is sitting still, or possibly even going in the opposite direction slightly; whereas Ponch's avatar has the shoulders and waist moving in unison. To better define myself, when his avatar's shoulders side shift left so do the hips. Do that and I think it should be a pretty eerie replica of his avatar. It would be awesome to see a straight on shot to replicate the angle of his avatar. 3D vs pixels baby!
Edit: This is like when Homer goes into the 3D void. ;)

Oh, I assumed you were. But it should look relatively close in the 3D image, it's just not moving the same way. From head to crotch is a straight vertical line that only side shifts left to right, the legs angling back and forth.
Do you have this rigged with skeleton or just manually moving the mesh around? Either way, if you have the standing model could you zip it over, I'll see if I can give her a go.
If this keeps up, this thread will become my new homepage! :=

Pssst... that's not an animation, it's Ponch filmed in front of a blue screen. 8-)
I can upload the model if you're interested, it was done in Blender. I rigged it, but that was done quickly and rather chaotic, so the skeleton wouldn't be much help for you. It's a simple model, and it shouldn't be too hard to imitate the original animation. But I actually like the way the cow moves now, so I'll leave it at that. :)

Supposed to be female, and a walk cycle, but turned out more Baywatch Run Cycle. Anim8or.
I was discussing Problem's Ponch with a Chinese friend of mine. He hooked me up with some folks that made a quick knock off, done with Anim8or, or some such. They even made it dance, but not quite as nicely as Problem's.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ponchProb1_zps8fc7d502.gif)
We then began discussing some possible marketing, and it seems immense. A Ponch Bobble Head was no problem at all.
http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ponchBobble1_zps4b95a888.gif
I can easily envision a Hawaiian Ponch, with lei and oscillating grass skirt, on the dashboard of every car in America. Or a pastoral Ponch, with the commandments and his shepherd's staff. Or, for those so inclined, a red colored devil Ponch complete with pitch fork standing above the ash tray. Or, consider Tickle Me Elmo... Ponch speaking his favorite sayings. And since his favorite sayings are often, shall we say, down and dirty, the likelihood of being sued for naughty words is practically nonexistent.
Problem, you should have pursued this a bit more.
Edit: The Devil made me do it:

We could turn this tread into a "Let's remake Ponch's avatar in as many styles as possible" challenge. For that we need even more artists drawing or modelling cows. ;)

No no! Just because your connection is sh+tty you can't try to make it better for you! I waited for years to get a stable, fast connection and I demand my pictures! Otherwise I may be forced to send wolves, with jetpacks, to hunt you.
Please render a wolf with a jetpack.
Was digging through Ponch's 16mm film stuff, recently. Most of the stuff is... Well, I can't really say other than they all came in a plain brown wrapper. This one is hard to figure out. It might be Ponch's screen test for Indiana Cow, or it might be some shots from a fishing trip. Not sure which?
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/whipIt1_zps248b06fb.gif)
PS - It was meant to be Ponch, as Indiana Jones, cracking a whip. Whip turned out pretty lame, even for me. I'll have to play with it more, perhaps on its own. I may have to borrow Tabata's or Cat's whip, for educational purposes, only, you understand.
Man, I LOVED Indiana Jones as a kid. Raiders blew my 10 year old mind! :grin:
Ponch recently experienced a wardrobe malfunction. Back around Halloween, he'd ordered a "flasher" costume, with trench coat, hat, and dark glasses. Instead, they delivered this:

OSD Extreme Turbo: The Cow of Destiny.
Since I, recently, had to resort to circus sideshow attractions to keep this thread alive, I decided to begin work on an Arch Nemisis for our Super Hero, Ponch. This one seemed a good candidate:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/baron1_zps219a4973.gif)
Now, I can develop conflict, always a useful thing in cinema. Looks like Ponch isn't the only one in trouble. I need to learn more about UV Wrapping. This coloring faces on polygons isn't going to make it happen. Anim8or model. Believe Ponch and Baron are on friendly terms. I'll see if I can do something about that ;)
At last! An arch-nemesis! :cool:
My goodness... The Baron does cut a rather dashing figure in his plane.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/spinBaron1_zpsa978f19e.gif)
If anybody knows the secret for spinning props, please share it. I do notice some mesh "tearing" on one of the propeller tips (probably an error in my weight painting). I'm wondering if I made it worse (intentionally), if it might not help it look better?
nice again!
You can always cheat and use a flat disc with some barely visible but still there propeller on it to simulate the blurring of the fast motion. Looks probably better than the flickering propellers, but then you'd have to turn the plane to not cover the baron.
Ponch didn't like my yellow bi-plane, something about his horns poking holes in the aircontrol surfaces, or some such. He opted for a monoplane. I opted to copy it:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ponchTest1_zps44270ef4.gif)
I need to take a different approach on the props, anyway. I may have to use Selmiak's trickery, since this isn't working well enough.
I see where this is going and I like it :-D 8-) :-D
Yep. Still my favorite thread on the internet. :=
Spinning a propeller in Bryce does much the same thing as Anim8or. My Bryce workaround was to use a squashed sphere and a glass texture. I had to do a little poking around on the internet to find Anim8or's glass texture; it's there, but it's not as easy to find as Bryce's. Here is Ponch's plane with my cheat and a slightly revised banner:

He's not. He's not even wearing his spots. Tried to bring it in as a 3ds file, and lost the texture and grouping. When I tried to reapply the spots (same ones as used on the ship), things went haywire. Turns out Darth Baron already has most of Vader's helmet. Needs bigger hands, I think. May be why his sabre is so big, to compensate for the other shortcoming.

Edit:
With my interest in 3d, I've naturally looked at some of the 3D plug-ins for AGS. I've been particularly impressed with one by Besh:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=40123.0
All seem limited, in one way or another; one will even make you dizzy since all it does is spin around. It didn't much matter, since Anim8or doesn't export animated meshes to anyone but Anim8or, anyway. However... I spent some time on the Anim8or forum a week or so ago, and tracked down an add-on that can convert an Anim8or animated mesh to Milkshape format, which is one of the formats Besh's CD3D can open and display. I've not had much success getting a game to run, but the demo does a fine job. Got brave enough today to try exporting/importing a mesh through the program. Here's a screen capture of the results:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/kindaWorks_zps5d7a0938.png)
I renamed a Demo Media asset with my converted model. It brought the animations in, as advertised. I sent in an unsmoothed mesh, so the blocky Ponch may be fixable. I don't know where the textures went, but I'm seeing that happen a lot in just Anim8or. I'd love to have that door open and Ponch walk out!
The limitations on Besh's program seems restrictions to "one room" and limited number of animation frames. Besh is still around, but the plugin thread seems to have stalled out in 2010. Ever hopeful! I will keep experimenting.
PS This Ponch, BlockyPonchy, was trying to learn to Charleston, so he boogies across the floor in the scene. I've yet to try an actual walk cycle on him. Grundislav has a birthday upcoming, but the
Rat Bastard kind gentleman will not be getting any cake from me. Getting Ponch to Charleston is proving a real time-sink. Must have something to do with the hooves instead of feet.
Edit2: So, I thought I was a bit nasty to Grundislav, and I amended my comment. I did get a smoothed mesh into Besh's program, but I'll have to redo the weight painting for all those new vertexes. I'll also have to research the missing textures. Grundislav, did you steal Ponch's spots?
BlockyPonch has quite the stylish hat. :cool:

With the smoothed mesh in Besh's program, the horns are whirling around above the head in helicopter fashion. Kind of funny. I'll try to weight paint the subdivided mesh tomorrow.
Here's the hat in Anim8or, and one attempt at Grundislav's dance:

Now, where'd I leave that football model?
PS I don't think her dress is going to rig well. It's a bit of a mess, meshwise.
This thread seems as appropriate as any. So I'm sitting here relaxing while catching up on the AGS forums, I just got home from work and I'm minding my own business when suddenly my dog starts barking at my desk in the direction of my screen. I sometimes have an empty water bottle sitting on my desk and she will often let me know (relentlessly) that she wants to play with it. But today I have nothing on my desk that a dog would want to play with. To get to the bottom of things, I hold up just about everything on my desk for her to smell, just to give me an idea of what she's after. I'm baffled and she eventually stops and gets distracted by her bum or whatever dogs get distracted by. I'm relieved.
Ten or so minutes later I enter another thread, low and behold she bounds off my bed, where she has full view of my computer desk, and starts barking at the screen yet again. This time I'm looking at her completely puzzled. I'm asking her what's going on, just as though I'm asking Lassie if Timmy fell down the well. Just about when I was going to give up on her and assume she has just too much energy, I see it... This little bugger!

It's just moving along, minding its own business riding along the bottom edge of my screen in Ponch's signature. I certainly made sure of it too, I watched her eyes. When it reaches the left side of the screen and vanishes she starts to look around like a sad dog, then BAM she sees it again on the right side and you can ALMOST see her eyes smile. Thanks Ponch. (laugh)
Edit: Added Hide tags. ;)
Indeed, Ponch possesses many talents. One might even say he is possessed:

Now Ponch has a Problem and a mouse - he will be in need of the next psychiatric session shortly :grin:
Found this in a trunk. Don't know, for sure... Might be from one of the Mittens, just don't know when or which one. The group waving to folks, while Problem fishes off the fantail. Or, maybe, they're about to collide with something and the crew is trying to wave them off, while Problem fishes off the fantail.

I'd already given Problem a baton, since he's one of those musical types. Just scaled it up to make the fishing pole. Probably should have given Ponch a lasso, since that kinda, sorta, looks like what he's doing. Yeehaw, Texas.

Hopefully we have a screwdriver, a knife and duct tape on board (and a piece of cheese would be nice, too) :grin:
I seem to be neglecting everyone's favorite cow, but started working on this, another AGS notable:

Supposed to be yawning. If I could pixel 1/100th as well as Miez, I wouldn't be messing around with 3D.
I'm going to risk bumping this thread, although I'm honestly running out of things to do to with Ponch's avatar. I'd watch a couple of Pink Panther movies this afternoon, and since working on Tabata's avatar had already made me think about turning her into a panther... Well...

I believe the glass texture in Anim8or is a fairly recent addition. It does seem to work, but I need to play with it some more. I used it for Cowseau's magnifying glass. Now, off to find the minkey...

I'm troubled by the question and risk Snarky's wrath for another post to make additional comments. That, and a chance to poke more fun at Ponch's avatar.
There are a number of 3D plugins for AGS, some of which I've played around with. Regarding 3D elements, once converted to images, they will insert in games. For example:
[imgzoom]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/scidsAlley1_zpse0f29470.png[/imgzoom]
I took my model -- well, it's actually a knock off of Problem's model -- and rendered a small image, which I then put, unretouched, into a default AGS game. Allowing for the gray cow in front of a gray wall, you be the judge of whether or not the cow would work in the scene. The background and bum character are RON 2D assets.
This response should also enlighten Ponch as to what happens when one refuses to take off ones tuxedo.
ayyyyy.
yep, still my favorite thread on the internet :cool:
Quote from: Ponch on Sun 13/04/2014 16:47:12
ayyyyy.

Ponch's response gives me a green light for more stuff. Thepeacefulman's post got me thinking about shadows as something that gets lost using 3D models in 2D games. Thought about it and came up with this:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/shadowTest1_zps45763498.gif)
I put down a magenta cube, dinked with some of the settings, played with the light quite a bit. It looks "okay" in a default AGS game:
[imgzoom]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/shadowPonch1_zps162fc0d8.png[/imgzoom]
Obviously, the shadows won't bend around objects, and similar shadows are possible in 2D. It may not be worth the effort, and Anim8or's ray tracr, with shadows enabled, tends to darken everything down. Nor is magenta the best transparent color, but that's what I used here.
Maybe you could just use a light shadow (instead of a all black one) under Ponch, instead of casting it behind?
Well, if you use a 2d engine like AGS it usually doesn't make sense to render realistic shadows for the characters. They'd have to be calculated in realtime to match the lightsources and the geometry of each room, otherwise they'll look wrong.
So if you want 3d characters with realistic shadows, you have to use a 3D or 2.5D engine. In 2D you can only have fake shadows, such as a simple circular shadow beneath the character, or maybe a rendered shadow with the light coming directly from above, so the shadow doesn't spread across the background.
@ Cassiebsg and Problem - I was just playing with the shadows. I've only recently began experimenting with the lighting in Anim8or's Scene editor, and this fit in nicely with that. I had nothing major in mind, just a passing thought.
@ Problem - Your model continues to stand me in good stead. ;) The Anim8or Forum is very active, lately. The creator of the program retired from his full time job and is pushing out updates on a regular basis. There also seems to be around three forum regulars who are cranking out Anim8or scripts to add features. They keep talking about keyboard shortcuts to implement this or that new feature. It has me worried. It's sounding an awful lot like Blender. (roll)
Honestly it's hard for me to tell what genre the game is. judging by the sprite of that cow.

This was never meant to be anything more than a bit of fun and a way to torment Ponch, one of many entertaining posters on this forum. The more I tinker with this stuff, the more I am coming to realize what a real accomplishment actually making a game truly is. I can't even seem to reliably make the art assets. Everything I do turns out flawed in one way or another. Lost a computer system last week. It had all of the models I've made recently. They were able to salvage the hard drive, since the motherboard was what had failed. If I had lost those models, it likely would have been the last you'd have heard from me. I do have one game concept I keep returning to, but I'm stalled out on an issue with misbehaving skirts for my female models. Can't seem to find the work around, or a reasonable way to fake it.

You shouldn't let that keep you from doing the game anyway, you can always change the sprites later on, once you have solved the problem. :) It's actually not that hard to replace them.
That's actually why I'm doing 2 games at the same time... one am stuck at doing 3D art for it, cause I care how the game will look like. The other I don't care that much how it looks, and am focusing manly on learning AGS and coding/scripting. On this one am currently working with "place holders" graphics... Hopefully somewhere along the line, someone may want to work with me on graphics, sound/music, etc. ;)
BTW, ever heard of backup? ;)
Get a hard drive, a CD or/and an online backup. So you should be caovered. ;) (am giving this advice, but I my self have yet to make any backups of my games... :/

Now the question becomes, is Tabata there willingly, or has Ponch kidnapped her? Tabata, blink twice if you're being held against your will.
PS For any interested, I had to darken the water down to a really dark blue to get it to turn black in the renderer.

You've successfully captured the width of my hip bone. Since the time of my birth, my hip bone has always been wider than average boys. This, in turn, makes my waist's number quite larger too. :grin:

I checked your profile when I was working on that Coloring Ball, but I just couldn't resist the New Delhi Deal alliteration, so I moved you. I'm a weak, weak man. I'll try to keep you in the right country in future endeavors.
You're not a weak man. Not everyone has enough strength and might to mess with Ponch. :grin: Also, you're taking me wrong. I was not offended when you moved me to New Delhi. I loved it. :cheesy:
Thought I might give Ponch a new hat to wear.

I still need the over-the-shoulder strap, and the lanyard, and a belt buckle. Oh, and the striped trousers. Then, what to do, eh...
PS When I went looking for images to base this on, I found some shots that make me think Adeel may have a part to play, even though it may involve moving him, again.
Sounds to me that Adeel enjoys traveling... ;)

I rarely travel but that doesn't mean I don't like traveling!

Hey, does this really mean what I think it means? Will you be transporting me to pre-partition times and make me an Indian soldier serving for my British empire? :-D

It does, but keep in mind it's only an acting gig. ;-) I've got problems with your model. It got subdivided, somewhere along the way, and is doing all sorts of odd things. I'll probably have to redo the body.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/bothReplort1_zpsec98eed2.gif)
I also seemed unable to synchronize the salutes. Needs work, and not meant to offend. Those images may date to the colonial period, but they looked more recent. Should have checked some of the links to fix the time frame for sure. Sorry about that.
I've no problems traveling back to the past. Yes, it indeed looks a little awkward atm. But I'm quite pleased with the result you've obtained so far. Also, don't worry about offending me for I rarely get offended!
AFAIK, those images may be recent but the clothes' design definitely dates back to colonial period. So no worries there too. :)
PS: Keep up with the good work. Although I may not be as cool as Ponch but I'm try my best to improve my coolness with the passing days. :-D

At last! My dream to become a mountie has come true! :cheesy:
I dug back through the chaos of that salvaged drive, and I did find a non-subdivided version of the body I was trying to use for Adeel. I also thought Tabata might like to see the rest of Mr. Eyebrows. So, I worked this up:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/eyebrowsBody_zps82cef667.png)
And I thought it might be worthwhile to post an 80x80, unretouched version of the model.

It might be instructive, for me, to see what happens if I tried to get him to walk in this get-up. I'd have to weight paint it again. I may give it a try, but I will likely fail at it.

Worked better than I expected. I still can't get the stuff to behave when I have a gal in a skirt take a seat. Reminds me of Carol Burnett's characters with those large hoop skirts; all will be revealed.
The amazing technicolor dream coat, baby! :cool:
I decided to take the dream coat for a RON walk in Anim8or.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ronWalk1_zps52d43225.gif)
I also wanted to try Anim8or's multiple camera option. Don't know if this proves anything, just sharing. Background is a RON asset.
RON finally has the pimptastic mac daddy it has always needed! :=

So when are you going to make an AGS game jwalt? :)
I'm beginning to think I may be close to trying. In fact, I'm wondering if I may not have something that might work as a RoN game, of a sort. I was trying for a face along the lines of Blackwell's Durkin, but wound up with something that looked more like someone from another franchise. Mr. Eyebrows, with a change to the dream coat and suitable weapon, might work for someone chasing a replicant around RoN. And somebody, don't remember who, posted something about a RoN template, somewhere. Might work.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ronPoss1_zps3417feb9.png)
Wonder how
Apu Adeel, would feel about taking a couple of shifts at the YahtzeeBrand store? Don't know, at the present time, how to work a wolf's head into the mix, but I'll keep thinking about it.
I won't mind working for Yahtzee's, as long as the payment is good! ;)
Been informed by my critics outside this Forum, that the black jacket would be more suitable for a RoN Matrix based game, rather than a RoN Blade Runner based game. I will endeavor to fix the jacket. I'm also off to the library to check out a DVD of the Blade Runner film; it has been a while since I watched it, a fact that will, without doubt, lessen my current standing with Ponch.
But it does get me thinking about The Matrix. Any Pakistanis in that film? Would that Data face pass for Neo? Has Neo ever visited RoN, or Arnold? I'll maybe be back.
Edit: Worked a bit on the "replicant."
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/dataWalkae1_zpsfea3f3e2.gif)
It is really easy to mess these up, and they're not looking as nice in-game as the RoN assets.
Edit 6/29/14: I also improved the eye/hand coordination of the Mounties, a bit.

You, my friend, just wasted $10. Aseprite is an opensource program and you can get its full version by compiling the source code or have someone compile it for you (if you can't do so yourself).

I wouldn't say it is wasted. I've already found it does a couple of things easier/better than Gimp. Seems reasonable to support people making software that is useful to a person. It seems much improved to the previous version, which I had taken a look at, but not found very useful. I'll keep you in mind next time I need something compiled. :-)
Edit: Watched the
Blade Runner movie (again). So, Ponch, tell us about your mother?

really in trouble now!" But, I decided I should probably keep it here, where the folks are tolerant of me. Then I debated bumping the thread, but decided against it. So, here's the latest thing I made to torment Ponch with:

Ah, now I got it. :-D
It's a Urine bag along with the catheter, of course! Thick me. (wtf)

I should have built this a bit differently; it might have rigged better.
It looks quite fine to me, jwalt. :)
Change the red colour to deep yellow, please. Because I'm being given power shots diluted in IV Drips (which makes its colour deep yellowish). I've not reached to the point where I would be given blood via IV Drip yet. (laugh)
You're a master at this jwalt. :)
@Cassiebsg - I wish that were true. I bumble around at best. They never, ever look like what I see in my mind's eye.

I recall you saying quite a while back that you'd been sick. Is this a continuation of that, or something new? And, you don't have to tell me, if you don't want to. I'll send good thoughts your direction either way.
You can say that it's a continuation of that. I got better for a few days and then fell sick again. My health is pretty much unstable at the moment. For a while, I stay healthy then I get sick again. I'll PM you later with more details.
The IV Drip looks quite awesome, btw. I'll agree with Cassiebsg here. You've shown impressively a lot of improvement in such a short period of time. You should really be proud of yourself. :)
So, Ponch, whatcha think about Game of Thrones?

I LOVE the tuxedo cow. He looks like a Blues Brother! :cheesy:

Ponch received his cut from the Bake Sale and promptly purchased a new set of wheels:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/ponchDelage1_zps8f7b09a9.gif)
For those who are interested, it's supposed to be a Delage, from around 1936, or so. Not affiliated with Chrysler, Plymouth, and Delage. ;) She's French, n'est pas. I wanted to give him a 'Merican car, a 1953/54 Studebaker Starliner Coupe, but my meshes were not cooperating.
Combine that with the tuxedo cow with this car and you'll get a truly classy* Ponch then.
* Well, Ponch is already classy but in a wild, Texan way. I'm sure he won't mind getting a little bit 'tamed' (I mean: civilized). :=
The car looks quite cool, jwalt. You just made me remind of good ol' days when I used to be busy playing "Mafia".
PS: Coming out of the car's animation needs some work to be done, though.
Great car you got there jwalt. (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/Smileys/AGS/smiley16_laughing.gif)
And I agree with Adeel. Try moving Ponch's left leg out first, then the right before getting out. ;)
That is one classy ride! And I am of French descent, so I can totally see myself in that car! :cool:

Didn't you ever encounter a "bound weapon?" ;)
I didn't have Tabata's paw fully articulated, so your eyes weren't fibbing. The same thing applies to Ponch's sword, only the shape of his hoof hides it better. At any rate:

I had more in mind for this, but I can't seem to get the lights to do what I want them to do, so I'm, kind of, stalled out on it. Getting a Grim Fandango effect when Ponch passes behind the lamp post, caused by the spots, no doubt. ;)
HA! I continue to love this thread. When are you making a game out of all these assets?
I am disappointed by the lack of Ponchos.

Ponch funded a pilot for a TV series. Thinking of the success of Mike Hammer and Magnum PI, he wanted to create a similar series.

I made "run cycles" for both Ponch and Tabata, but they're in the frame such a short time that it's hard to tell. Suppose that is fixable, but not likely to work on this any more. Gorilla is something that comes with Carrara. I've been playing with Carrara, but this is still Anim8or.
You've excellently captured my emotions, jwalt. Didn't heard of Carrara before, a quick googling reveals that it's quite an excellent 3D suite. Can't wait to see what you'll make with it! ;-D
Personally, I think the little mushroom guy needs a monocle and a pointy german hat. :wink:

Arr! How be it that this thread gets stranger and stranger each time I sail into port, matey? Tis a cursed thread, says I. Arr.
Recent comments about "bleeding eyes" and "strange threads," accompanied by sprital nudidity, prompted me to ask one of the Mods to moderate this thread. Snarky was busy, something about not touching something with a ten foot pole. Also, his avatar made modeling him difficult, so I picked on another one:

Why is Ponch trying to ultimate fight wearing that silly nightcap? Or is it just a deflated dwarf-cap? Whatever it is, that long-legged sex-icon is sure to open a can of whoop-ass on him at any moment....

I don't think the red shirt goes too well with the flag. Like in the original image, white shirt will work well imho.

Now, back to the band. I need better instruments. I need to correct the poke through on Ponch's inside jacket cuffs. I also need to figure out why Denise seems to be losing her shorts (some vertex being pulled the wrong way, I warrant). Damn drummers.
Absolutely stunning! :cheesy: :cheesy:
And I gave The Baron a new Oil Can, only I thought they were called axes, by those in the business:

Awesome! With that long trench coat, bass guitar, and Swedish flag undershirt I look like a tough-as-nails rocker. Now all I need is some flames coming from my guitar and I will be UNSTOPPABLE! (http://www.vanwijst.com/games/smileys/baron_cup.gif)
I reluctantly agree that Ponch should be promoted moved to drums (or at least a xylophone), if only because I believe this band needs the sultry crooning of Tabata on vocals. 8-)
There's no reason my drum kit couldn't have a xylophone. (And a cowbell and a gong) :cool:
You know, Ponch does, indeed, look happier back there with the cowbells. I shoulda known...

Has Dennise always had that bald spot and enviable bikini line?
Also, I know things are getting pretty crowded on stage, but if Ponch is going to sit down he might as well do it on a milking stool. ;)
OMG I can't stop seeing the bald spot now :D

I'll have to look at that head, it appears. Did some work on Adeel's sitar:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/sitarHero1_zpsc3af0842.png)
I doubt my meshes will tolerate a proper yoga pose for Adeel, so that may be all I can do with his pose.
Edit: Reseeded Denise's head. (Some points got moved along the way, somehow.) Also moved the camera to give a better look at Adeel's sitar.
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/sitarHero2_zpsa8205b1a.png)
Nothing wrong with Baron's eyes, apparently. That monocle must be a fashion statement of some sort. ;-)
Edit 2:
I've been trying to address the issue with Denise's shorts for a while now. None of my changes to the weight painting have fixed it. Had to resort to a morph that I can apply in the seated position:

:-) I won't admit to the nudity, but you're not that far off on the age. I remember, from High School, waiting for the first class bell in the band room. I played in the school concert band, and the band room was a good place to wait until the classes started up. You could listen to the jazz band practice, and they were consistently state competition winners. You could study, if nothing much was going on. One morning, they were clustered around the stereo. Someone had scored a hard to get album from an up and coming group from England. That's the first time I heard The Beatles. Three to go to get to seventy, but you pretty well nailed it.
Curse you and your ubiquitous lesser-known words, Baron. Would it hurt to simply say 'ageing'? :P
Sorry to dismiss you like that, jwalt. Had you been dressed more appropriately, I would have allowed you to continue to play that sacred instrument. You wouldn't go in front of England's Queen dressed like that, would you? :=
PS: I'm quite impressed that despite being 69 67, you work quite hard and too with much dedication. I ought to take a leaf out of your book.

I made use of several ClipArt assets in this one. Happy Halloween!

With the toilet paper, the bowl, the square outline and overall scale, at first glance I thought I had acquired a new toilet.... (http://www.vanwijst.com/games/smileys/ponch_cup.gif)

Aww ~I'm so short and cute in the trick or treat one!! :grin:
I came back after few days of my absence and got my expected dose of fun from this thread! :cheesy:
Loved all the images so far. I also liked the images you used on the sweets' bags.
Personally, I don't mind jwalt spying on anyone because NSA already does that (good bye, privacy!) unless, of course, jwalt is a member of NSA and, in that case, I'm doomed. :shocked:

Baron obviously has this thread confused with the thread about the weird foreign toilets. This is no doubt due to his advanced years and that sense of urgency.

Another view, although you may not want to be associated with this post.

@Ponch: Sorry. The Baron made me do it.
How about a Vamp\Hobbit harpist? :kiss:
I've been known to play a mean Theremin!

The Theremin may be easier than morphing your face into that other thing:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/fullMoon1_zps65qd6fmi.gif)
I think Werewolf is going to be the final transition phase of (current) Retro Wolf. He used to be Oldschool_Wolf, then he grew up to become Retro Wolf and ultimately he will become Werewolf. Nice thinking, jwalt. Why didn't I think about that earlier?
Wolfie's theremin and a place to play it in:

Edit: Add musician
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/tune1_zpspdopnwq9.gif)
Edit2: Add small audience
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/downInFront1_zpsyqixh7bv.gif)
I could continue on with this, adding more audience members, but I need to fix the auditorium, since some stuff is bugging me.
Excellent. I love how Ponch shifts from side to side just to take a look at Retro Wolf! :grin:
Yehhhh! Rock that theremin!

Gosh! If I had a nickel for every time this has happened to me in real life. Why is there always someone with a pickelhaube at the regional theremin enthusiast's recital? :cheesy:

I know I'm like years late but good one Jwalt, I was hoping to get one at some point :3
I wish I had noticed sooner but better late than never I always say ;)
I'd been messing with this one for a while now. In general, I'm not being pleased with anything I've tried lately, but here it is, nonetheless:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/pzWalker1_zpsncmwfudd.gif)
Ooh! The Mist? Silent Hill? An American Werecow In London? :cheesy:
I'm pretty sure it's called "A Ponch in the Park"... ;) and we know how the "original" ended... 8-0
I have had a variety of issues, lately, that have scrambled my model files, badly. Not that they were all that well organized to begin with, but I have lost some stuff. Word of warning, the CryptoWall Ransomware was part of the problem. Anyway...
Ponch and Baron have a legal dispute. Decided to see if this venue might provide a solution:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/jjPonch1_zpsb1e2a6f1.png)
More may follow, but I make no promises.
First some light stretching and calisthenics and then... justice! :=
A couple of things pointed out to me, on the Anim8or Forums:
Economics explained in terms of two cows:
http://organizationsandmarkets.com/2009/02/25/21-economic-models-explained/
And, that the scene should show the camera and crew. Don't have the crew, but did make a state-of-the-art camera:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/crank1_zpsa86f95dc.png)
The giant faces hovering over the law chamber makes me think of Brazil or something. The retro camera design makes me think of The Prisoner for some reason. This world is getting dark and surreal, jwalt. I miss the happy days of theremin recitals and traveling gypsy musicians. :wink:
Found the perfect man for the camera:

Need to rig the judge and the bailiff, is why they still have the yoga pose. The floating heads will go away, soon. I've attached them to the bodies, which may prove to be a mistake. We shall see.
Edit: At the risk of giving Ponch nightmares from that motorcycle accident, I decided to make this a personal injury case. This made a new T-Pose necessary:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/coneOShame_zps84c5637e.png)
These add-ons make weight painting difficult, and I don't always get the results I hope for. The doggy Cone-O-Shame seemed more appropriate than a neck brace, in this instance.
Ponch was invited to lunch, recently...
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/lunch1_zpswbdjl0pv.gif)
Edit: Uh, let's make that invited to Christmas dinner:
(http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/jwalt10705/xmasLunchBig1_zpst4ztrd5k.gif)
Merry Christmas to all!

That was caused by a wrong extrude that went unnoticed until it was too late. Okay for the creature, but not for Santy.
I've been held up on the courtroom drama. I played
Goat Herd and the Gods, which has nothing to do with the characters in this -- I swear!
Just don't tell the folks at Dropped Monocle, okay? Andail might should be worried. I read his post, went to Steam, and now have
Paradox.
Still need to rig and etc.
Love the goats! :)
But just one thing, in case you did not do it on purpose, the back legs need to be flipped... the bone should point backwards, not forward. ;)

Cassie said there's something wrong with my butt...
Thanks cassiebsg - I tried to fix.
Nothing wrong with the butt... ;-D
Picture looks great but you still need 3 bending points on the goats legs.
And since your Google pictures seems to be broken, here's a ref. pic of what I meant. (nod)

Creepiest Santa ever? I know I'll be placing barbed wire around the fireplace tonight. :=
Thought it was time to feed the herd.
I understand Cassiebsg's point. The back leg may still be off. I'll know more when I attempt the walk cycle.

Soooo, that noise coming from the bushes in my garden at 3am... do we need to talk about this?
Guys and gals, I haven't had much luck with my modeling, lately, and was nearly ready to let this thread pass off into oblivion. Was Googling around the web, just now, and found this:
(http://octopup.org/img/black-rock-desert-snow/m/Xmas-Road-Trip-2004-45-Black-Rock-Desert--Empire--Gas-Station--Welcome-to-Nowhere--Sportsmobile.jpg)
I figure the critter must be a distant relative of The Ponch.
Some sort of cross between a cow and a yeti. Interesting... sexy, too. :=
