I hate my avatar. I wish I wasn't too cheap to shell out the cash to change it. But I decided to make it better for myself the only way I can. I made an animation out of it!
Check it out, right here!
I just projected my portrait onto a mesh in 3dsmax, added some morph states, along with a tiny Crow trying to warp scramble my face and voila! An instant Eve oddity.
I wonder if I could make this into a sig for something somehow...

You might want to make it somewhat smaller then 20 mb if you wanna make it a sig. It still hasnt loaded ready on my comp and i usually download at 3 Mbyte (or 24mbit) per sec.

Oh, I'm also taking animation requests, if you guys have any good ones. Now that I have him rigged up like this, it's no big deal to animate him doing anything, if you want. I can even whip up some hands pretty quickly if I need them.

You are unable to warp because you have been warp scrambled...

Cute animation. Not enough anger, misery and carebear tears in it to stir the Eve-O GD though.

Yeah, it got me to laugh, but I'm a sarcastic forum troll.. so I couldn't resist. 
It was either that or a Chuck Norris reference, because Civire = win

As your attorney I advise you to go ahead and create that sig. Then charge isk to create similar for other pilots. |

I was thinking about that. It's a load of work, but if I offered to create a <10 second animation of anyone's avatar doing anything at all for 100mill isk, would anyone be willing to do it?

Might I ask how you aligned the textures as accurately as you did? I've been trying something similar (well, not to animate - just to pose) in This Thread but can't seem to align the textures properly

With the way this semester has been, I'm going to have to stick to my guns and say 100mill. But if you have any ideas and want it done, I'll be happy to. Originally by: Jenny Zeke Might I ask how you aligned the textures as accurately as you did?
I don't wanna explain it all again, so I'll quote myself from the SHC forums:
Originally by: "Dubious Drewski"
Originally by: "Greme" Hahah, that is so damned surreal. Genius I tells you. I don't suppose you'd mind divulging the secrets of how to do something such as that (assuming you used 3dsmax)? :)
No secrets. I explained it in the OP. First I map my portrait to a mesh plane, then refine the mesh (With "preserve UVs" enabled) then once I have my portrait in 3D, I lock UVs to the mesh, create copies of the mesh, morph each mesh into the expression I want, add a morph modifier to the original and add each morph target. Then I animate! Simple.
It was the Crow that was hard! To get the warp scramble effect, I had to modify torus's(which had a blue, translucent fall-off material) to travel along a spline (out-of-range-type was set to cycle in the curve editor) which had its pivot point anchored at one end to the crow and the rotation controlled by a lookat constraint which was pointing at a dummy node embedded right under the Avatar's nose. Not so simple!
And I still don't have a career.
