I've have always had a love for robots. My son loves robots too. He makes me watch robot videos on YouTube all the time of little synchronized robots that dance. So this is a little toy project I'm going to develop for my kids. :) It is just another excuse to do fun stuff with the computer. I would really like to be able to develop some simple animations.... Dancing robot in jQuery? I'm not sure I want to do it in jQuery, but it is cool that you can! Building an Animated Cartoon Robot with jQuery Hi! I'm trying HARD to be a jQuery Robot - includes sounds. I will post more details as I begin work on it. BTW, I've got some more blender content here: Blender - Open source 3d game engine I'd like to do it in Silverlight. However, my interest in Blender3d as an animation and game engine has peaked my interest. Hopefully, there would be some way to design, model, and animate within blender...then export to Silverlight animations? I dunno. Blender Manual - BlenderWiki - the main blender manual, RTFM. Blender 3D: ActionBook - BlenderWiki Nystic 1.5 • View forum - User Tutorial Videos Blender, Animation 3d: English Main Index - good source for info on programming blender python. Wings 3d - is a subdivision modeler (separate from Blender) Books Half.com / Books / Introducing Character Animation With Blender Use motion capture The thought of animating actually sounds very tedious. However, using motion capture, you create the animation from natural movements and hit play. :) It was nice to see that there is some open data out in terms of motion capture. I've gotten it to import the .bvh files as armature. Now I need to learn how to control them and attach them to rigs. mocapdata.com - very cool site, motion capture for many animations released under CC. Import this data straight into Blender3d using .bvh to create nice biped animations which look very realistic. Around 600 mocap data sets freely available on mocapdata.com - feeblemind - this talks a bit on how to import and other links. The Motion Capture Webpage Welcome to Michael's Blender Website! - Importing a BVH file into Blender using Reevan McKay's BVH Python script... ACCAD - Motion Capture Lab - data and downloads bvhacker - free to use bvh editing software - bvh file editor with export to SecondLife. MocapAnimation - Animating Characters With BVH Motion Capture File bvh2arm - script that ease the use of bvh with Blender by automatically creating a parented armature upon a hierarchy of empties .. as the one created by a BVH import .. The created armature follows the empties. Skinny - automatic mesh generation, rigging, & uv mapping. - you draw an armature and the script will generate a skinned cylindrical mesh around it. Rigs You can get full blow digital puppets that allow you to control animation using armatures. Very cool. KRE Animate.co.uk - Generi Rig for Blender Meet Petunia... What a great video of petunia! Gives you an idea of what is possible. home - projectpetunia.org - more info on how it came to be and wheres it going. petunia robot - a cute (male) robot rig for blender!
