Quote from: fractalfoundation.org
A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales.

Example:



That hex tube thing looks cool but it's not a complex pattern, and it's not self similar.

- self similar check
- infinitely complex check
- never ending check
- different scale check

It's a f*** fractal

If you zoomed in on one of the bars that makes up the inner tube, you wouldn't find any self-repeating or details.
It's not self similar on a small scale, it's self similar as you keep traveling down the tube.

Infinite pattern != fractal

I think he means that a fractal is self repeating no matter how you look at it, which is not the case for this trippy tunnel doodad.

Hence, infinite pattern != fractal.

They're pretty awesome. Are they scripted or animated in something, how'd you make them?

Trying to get used to working and animating in 3D. Never attempted 3D animation before but I suppose it couldn't hurt to learn yet another medium to animate in! (jk animation will always hurt)

It looks great, I like the falling animation!
The body and arms look fluid, it¡s legs walk like a robot, so if that's what it is, fantastic!

You used a bunch of simple shapes and assembled them together, didn't you? This is good if you want a blueprint to go off of when you're making a 3D model, but in general it looks bad when you do that because you can tell exactly where the shapes intersect. Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent start, but you want to actually model a character with vertices and stuff based on that now. Which is probably what you're doing, right?

programGamer, I think Raku was going for an older looking style with that model. In the early days of 3d, lots of characters were made out of basic shapes for a lot of a variety of reasons(lack of resources, skill, hardware/software capabilities, etc). The style reminds me of the pre-rendered sprites in Treasure Hunter G:
http://fantasyanime.com/legacy2/hunterg_art.htm

I wouldn't say it looks bad in this case, but I must confess if it looks like old 3d I'm most likely in love it! Tongue If you were to make a pre-rendered sprite game Raku, it would look amazing. With these models you've shown you definitely have a good sense of how a segmented/different parts character can be made too look consistent with what was made back in the day.

I've been working on a bunch of props for a reworking of an older world in Frog Days and figured I'd do a fancy shot where the background is out of focus:
