He can walk, he can talk (though nobody can understand that alien gibberish!), he's out of this world!!!
Nice job, Diomede!
He can walk... and he can open a door!
Here is my job for this project, if I must change or add something, tell it.
Everything is "home made", the door and the closet are animatables, constraint for the main door, morphes for it's handel and the closet.

Lamp for the living room.
Two material zones (lamp base and lampshade) plus parented bulb light. The materials are just color, plus some translucency on the lampshade so those can be changed to match the final look.
Does this include the physics sim of us blowing it up? I think the alien comes in without using the door, if I'm not mistaken! LOL
Okay, kidding, of course. But....
Awesome!
Diomede,MDO, Dudu. Great stuff with the modeling.
Dart , I actually thought of the alien being able to walk through glass but not walls or something like that .
thanks @diomede
great alien guy to work with
I hate rigging and weight mapping! can never get it right
Stezza, I saw your alien in the other thread. It has much more expressive facial features than the one I posted. Would people prefer that one (assumng you are willing)? My stubby little short guy does not have much range of motion.
Just as a test, I've made some NLA clip poses for the alien that I posted. I am attaching here. If people are able to successfully use NLA clips posted in his way, I can make some more. Would appreciate hearing a yay or nay on successful testing before I make more.
Have both if you like... yours takes precidence though...
Footwarble ( that's what I call him ) is attached in the zip file 32kb in size.. If you like you can do whatever with him.. some reckon he resembles a character from spongebob squarepants .....
Is it too late to volunteer? I'm not good at animation but I can model in Carrara with the best of them. :)
Thank you, Wikitime. Here is the list Mike posted. You could take a look at some of the toon rooms at his link and pick something, including the TV and stand. Or, anything else. We have the room walls/door, couch, light, alien ship, little girl, and two aliens.
I can do the TV and stand. Are we going with a retro look?
One TV, coming up. :)
Great modeling progress guys. Stezza , I am sure we can work another alien into the story. Cool looking poses Diomede.
Wikitime. A tv and stand would be great. Thanks.
When most everything is modeled I will download everything and put it into one file for people to use.
a set on antennas on top of the TV will get the aliens excited
maybe @diomede can rig & weightmap Footwarble for us...
Fantastic! I can create wonderful modeled and post vfx to make that happen, if you use the idea! ;)
Great work, all! This is great!
I'd love it if we could use both aliens - but we'll let the story dictate ;)
Hey all, The girl is rigged now and has a bunch of morphs for the eyes,mouth,face,dress etc. I added a character I did for the Easy Come Easy Go project from long ago, we can use him for a "dad" character. Here is a picture of the 2 together. If someone has a good "bad babysitter" character modeled or wants to model one let us know.
Stezza ,, I agree, rabbit ears (antenna) would go great on the tv.
Dart. great to know about the VFX is doable for our alien superpowers .
Diomede , can we use these 2 characters ... The man we could use for a NASA type guy investigating reports of UFO sitings in the area and the boy could be an older brother or the babysitter. Let me know .
Thanks.
Sure thing, Mike. They were quick low res figures that I made for 2 different monthly challenges and rigged for specific poses. I will check to see if I saved versions with better rigging. Will post what I have later today or tomorrow.
Thanks, Diomede.. I am gathering all the models done so far and putting them in one file so people only have to download one file to get all the models.
Well, here are the backup moels that I keep in my "various" folder. It will take longer to check for any surviving versions that might have rigging and weightmapping. The originals of these (and some other early challenge projects) died in computer migrations.
Attached as zip.
Free for use but not for resale
Okay , I have put all the models together into one file. I am still waiting on the TV model and was going to rig the Scientist guy and boy and add some morphs to them before I upload the file for everyone.
Here is a picture of the Entry area with all the characters/models and the living room scene.We can start thinking about what animations we want to do with our characters/sets.
how cool are these
I knocked up a basic backup telly in case wikitime hasn't got the time to finish his off...
modified Carrara shaders... free to use for the Carrara Animation Club
What a fine TV! Thanks Stezza, for knocking this out! It's really cool looking!
Stezza, great looking tv.
thanks... don't know what the reception will be like though lol
I have cable. We can hook it up over here when we render it! ;)
Okay guys
Here is the Carrara file with all the characters rigged and morphs applied. I added a morph to open the hatch of the ufo also. The only one not rigged is the Footworble .
Now people can start to animate some clips. Here is a couple of clips people can start with, remember to keep the length of each clip fairly short(5-15secs)
Clip 1. Girl watching tv. She can look a little bored. However you want to show this is fine.
Clip 2. Close up of Girl saying " Dad I am bored"
Clip 3 Showing the alien/ship flying through space heading for earth.We don't need to see the earth but that is the intent. You will need to make your own background sets (stars, Planets etc.) for this.
We can start with these and see how it goes and have some fun with it. It is fine to have more than 1 of each clip so whoever wants to try to animate a clip go ahead.
