Yeah it is. 😛

Okay then. 🙂 I think it’s good that he’s getting into 2D animation. I kinda fear that’s a dying art. I mean, Disney hasn’t released a 2D animated feature film since 2009!

@perfectfifths

Well… Since he doesn’t eat or drink, he can’t, but he’d probably rather eat tree bark.

@allison-grace

Who’s your character and where is she from, what time period, etc.? 🙂

…

Who goes next? Do you go next? Do I go next?

@perfectfifths

All of them?! 0_0

Also, aren’t you, like, supposed to add your own WYR?

Hey guys.

I’m back from the death of inactivity. 😛

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could try making one of my robot characters in this dramedy series I’m working on…

I have Camille…

Her main color is blue. In my head, she has a pattern of blue lines and chevrons (not the gas station brand) around her face. Lines can be curved, and…[Read more]

@dekreel

Depends on which character you’re talking about. I may go for more pop-rock for a certain character I’m thinking of.

@allison-grace

Probably coffee. But he’s physically unable to drink. For now, anyway… 😛

Would your character rather watch a movie, or play a video game?

@emma-flournoy

Well, I had looked it up before, and looked it up again just to get facts straight… It’s on Wikipedia if you want something a little more formal. 😛

XD

You’re welcome. I’m enthusiastic about anyone getting into CG, especially in the animation realm. Obviously, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s fine…I mean, it is…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Yeah. Matthew Patrick of Game/Film Theory’s here too. 😛

I think it’s not so much the fact that the characters are robots, but we anthropomorphize the robots. Like, R2-D2 had a sort of stubborn, quick-witted side about him, WALL-E was curious, and the robots in the movie Robots were heavily anthropomorphized.

I’m still mentally w…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Yeah, I guess… (what do you mean, exactly? … :/ :P)

Welcome to the club. 😛

Yeah, I know. WHY, though?! :S

Okay, the robots are humanoid shaped, but they have to wear clothes to disguise their cladding and mechanical underneath. They usually wear hoodies that match their primary color when they’re in disguise. Their cladding…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Indeed.

Yes. 😛 Before you can have things to edit into videos, you have to animate them, if you’re doing animation. Yes, Blender has a fairly steep learning curve, but so does every other 3D animation and modeling program.

You can not only edit videos in the VSE, you can also layer sounds, make wipe and text effects (even export…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Actually, never mind. I like the diminutive form of the name Tristan, Tris/Triss. 😛 So, yeah. 😛

@emma-flournoy

Yeah, that makes sense. And, as sad as it sounds, that’s probably it. No such thing as Kokoro (heart in Japanese, applied in the 2003 Astro Boy series referring to robots with a heart and soul), or Quaza stone (the stone that gives the Heroes in Hero Factory sentience), or anything like that. As you said, only God can create…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy @sam-kowal

There’s also the argument that the human brain is basically an organic computer… What separates animals from insects, and humans from animals? Insects are basically robots. In fact, a creationist (I can’t remember the name) calls insects God’s robots. Animals, especially seen in mammals, have Nephesh Chayyah, or the…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy @sam-kowal

The reason I made this up, is because the idea of sentient androids has intrigued and fascinated me ever since… well, basically since Bionicle G1 (2001-2009 set releases) came out. And LEGO Hero Factory added on to that fascination.

Sure, why couldn’t God give a sentient android a human soul? I think an encouragement…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

I think you hit the nail on the head. I almost feel like crying myself from reading your paragraph. :’)

Yeah… It’s tough. Yes, they’re machines. Yes, they’re manufactured by fallible humans. Yes machines can’t have souls. But… If a robot were to pray, and ask Jesus into his or her heart, would God seriously not answer? Even…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Hello, and welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet. ^_^

Okay, thanks for your vote. We now have

Camille: 11

Celeste: 9

Iridian 6

Lashawn: 1

Deshaun: 2

Raphael: 14

Kenneth: 8

Tristan: 9 (YES!!! TIEBREAKER!!!)

Lachlan: (possible) 6

@mariposa

No problem. It was my pleasure. I love to answer questions pertaining to 3D and animation. 🙂 I do strongly encourage you to give it a try, at least, and to stick with it until you learn the basics. Then if it isn’t your thing, you can at least say you tried. 😛

@emma-flournoy

Hopefully, he’ll understand soon enough. 🙂 I love…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Why do you think it sounds kind of sad? I think I know, but I’d like to hear it from you.

@emma-flournoy

Yeah, there’s already a consensus for Camille and Raphael. That’s 11 for Camille and 14 for Raphael, and now 6 for Lachlan.

@dekreel

XD Cool! Computer geeks are pretty cool, really! :j … Well, if you’re into that stuff, anyway.

Armature is basically “bones”. A lot of bones make up a skeleton, which can control joints, position, and drive values such as shapekeys (if you’re using CG)

Yeah, I do! I’ve got tonnes of ideas too… But a lot of them are beyond the scope…[Read more]
