NO TALKING AND CONVERSING IN THIS THREAD. ONLY LINKS AND SEXY ONE-LINERS. NOTICE MY ALL CAPS TYPING. ISN'T THAT PRO?

Anyways, since I clearly don't have the mind power/time (mostly mind power) to read the entire thread, searching for pictures of people posing as South Park Characters to place in the NationStates Musical, I'm taking the liberty of putting this thread up. Know that I am an animator, using Maya, LightWave, GMax, Flash, and all the Macromedia hunky punky (although I'm not very adept in LightWave).

So to make my live much *much* easier, please put pictures of the parts you want animated. For example, if you want your character to be able to move something in his hand, then put that object as a separate picture. That way, I only have to worry about copying the picture, and placing it in the Flash, instead of the taking it out of the overall picture, replacing it with another filler where the picture used to be, and all that work.

So by doing it separately, you'll have to work for a few more minutes, but it'll save me *hours* of work.

So, for those who understand technical terms, I need your characters to be exploded (all the moving parts like mouth, eyes, and hands etc.). If you don't know what I mean, then ask someone who does. I'm not good with explaining things.

So Links now! PS. We need a storyboarder. That makes the animating go smoother.

Sorry to converse, but do you know about http://nsthemusical.6.forumer.com/index.php (The NS Musical forum)? I imagine they might post stuff there, if it's of any help.

For some reason I'm getting an error with that link, so here's another even though it's the same URL, it should work.

While I understand and empathis with a desire to make your life easier, I'm more interested in making my life easier. And since I did this an ass long time ago...here. (http://img231.echo.cx/img231/5409/southmecopy7sl.jpg)
I haven't really been involved in the musical anyway, though the idea amuses me. I guess it would be fitting if I just sat in the back and made noises everyonce in a while that no one else notices or cares about.

Jenrak if you want any help 'exploding' characters which are submitted 'whole', i'm available (if i understand the term correctly)
such as cannot think of a name's above...

a very simple example of what i mean is this (http://nsthemusical.6.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=4#4) - i screenshotted the character whole, then cut out the arms as seperate objects and filled in the gaps. crude but effective.

you can use the other forum to collate the work that needs to be done between us (if you do want my help) - there's a seperate animation/graphics area



edit: i think the main characters of the musical should be expected to submit their characters exploded etc, but for minor characters and extras the people probably aren't going to bother putting in the time to do it properly...

i know that the animation for south park is choppy, and even though it's like, it's still funny. Meh I'll post sommething south parkish up soon.

I will be resorting to this style of animation, if you guys are alright with it, since if it's south park character style, I want to make the animations South Park style.

LOL...Love the test animation, so it's fine by me. I'm sure Neo K won't mind, either.

It's perfectly alright with me. I give it two thumbs up.

Okey Dokey.
