RICHARD'S ULTRA LOW POLY CARS - UPDATED

Richard · 8 Mar 2012, 04:53

Dug through my archives to find this little animation that I did years ago with these cars, brings back the reason I did them - it was for an animation pack!

Must be losing my memory! Mind you this was a LONG time ago and way before ruby scripting for SU.

I had created long hand a SU template with about 240 scenes which allowed the camera to be set for a single view then the vehicle movements were components with a vertical panel (component) inserted on 240 layers that turned on/off for each scene.

Car speed was determined by scaling the line the car travelled. As the vertical panel didn't scale (just a plane) reloading it with a car after path insertion and scaling, the car would retain correct size. Also the line could be broken and separately scaled to have the vehicle accelerate and slow.

Also played with people walking by each second component flipping left to right.

Stupid freakin idea but hey it worked and worked well. Like a lot of things I just never got around to finishing them.

Thank you so much sir! I often have to create site plans in a hurry and I just don't have time to fill up the parking lots with bulky, detailed cars. This will help my presentations big time.

Thank you Richard

Richard · 26 Apr 2012, 23:28

Thanks to all you guys for the note of "Thanks" - as mentioned earlier, the cars are a bit rough on today's standards. Though they should still work well as scene fillers!

pbacot · 27 Apr 2012, 04:10

Today's standards?

Wait, are you trying to tell me they don't have airbags!!!?
