The problem was, her

http://haufenzeug.de/cs/flash/siel8ani.gif

feet did slip over ground, once she should be bound in larger animations, like this

http://haufenzeug.de/cs/geh_web/pic/f_ani_4.gif

or in movies etc,
following this principe (just two pictures out of 26 are shown, no 4 and no 17 "both feet on ground")

http://haufenzeug.de/cs/geh_web/d_sm1.gif



Still I like the motive - the Lady in summerdress with strawhat
and I will make more from, more about, more with.

1 loop = 14 pictures

[Carsten Schermuly]

two handful, three handful of correctures, it is better now, still not really satisfying

4 / 100 sec. per picture

5 / 100 sec. per picture

8 / 100 sec. per picture

After some last correctures around her knees, I think, this can be the final animation. The only one thing I see critical, in front positions her feet are a bit too high over ground. On a pretty day she will get other shoes, this are just flat slippers, than her steps will look naturally also a bit different.

She does not like dark blue.
Her argument is, every tiny little dust particle will be seen on.
But that does not help her. Since every Lady does own a dark blue costume and every Gentleman does own a dark blue suit, she has no choice and got as her first chlothes a dark blue costume.
9 different arm positions - like before.
http://haufenzeug.de/cs/geh_web/pic/sbb_ani4.gif

It might comfort her - I do not await she will wear it often.
13 different arm positions.

She will get in future more clothes, maybe hats and caps, other hairstyles etc etc etc
and to do some jobs - not only walking.

Maybe she (and her family?) will appear on a pretty day as low resolution 3D. I think to do it in Blender, Pov-Ray is good for geometric objects and a human is set together by using polygonal objects, not geometric objects. I would like to use (the more simple) Pov-Ray, but Blender looks for me as better for drawing human figures.

The dark blue costume contains a mistake. Not important, just an easy done job for the tailor. Do you see what I could mean? Watch her knee in front positions, the lower seam of her skirt is jumping by one pixel - not to note in the fast versions, but in the slow copy the mistake appeares very clear.

[Carsten Schermuly]

Back home from tailor

She got also a bit more freedom around her knees by making the skirt a handspan width wider.

I am crazy to play around with such pictures?
No,
it is part of my jobs I do earn money with.
And
I got golden memories during my life to dark blue costumes and
also to light summerdresses and strawhats.
To create this little walking Lady is a festival for me,
hundred times better than TV.

[Carsten Schermuly]

I started Blender and played around with some examples I have download to find the way in. At least I built the first elements of the skeletion (beginning by "hip", adding left leg upper bone, lower bone, left foot parts, right leg bones and foot parts - and started to create a first step of this half skeleton (half - without backbones, without thorax, without arms, without neck and without head).

To get a control about the motions, I ordered Blender to create a movie in AVI file format and logically I clicked on it to watch it - but no one of the newest multimedia programs could handle this avi - file, not Realplayer, not QuickTime, not ClassicMediaPlayer and more. VLC Media Player crashed.

Believe it or not - one of the eldest programs on this globe did play that video - AAPlay, Autodesk Animation Player - a program, developed in medieval DOS times to create FLC - Animations, later updated to be used in Windows For Workgroups. Than no more developed because the internet file formats did not meet the abilities of AAPlay.

What I am doing with it?
I do draw my animation pictures in Microsoft Paint - a cheap but sure method to get full control about every pixel - to get precise results. I tried several animation makers, several morphing programs, but they all without any exception do deliver "unclean" pictures - unclean pixel effects, looking like jpg compression pixel clouds.

As a control for my animations I create a textfile *.aas and let it run in AAPlayer. By using such aas - file I am able to watch an animation already under different time steerings - "while developing motions see already a preview of the finished result".

This is the oldie, the only one that could read the Blender generated avi file

Blender
is too large. I will try to create my figures in Wings 3D, after all I have read about, that should be a much faster and easier way. I only want to get low resolution figures, so I think, the First Class program Blender is not needed.

[Carsten Schermuly]

How I do use AAPlayer

Run an aas file
http://haufenzeug.de/cs/geh_web/pic/run_aas.gif

I write a simple file list of the pictures in a texteditor like this
http://haufenzeug.de/cs/geh_web/pic/m_b_5.aas
once your browser will save it, try this
http://haufenzeug.de/cs/geh_web/pic/m_b_5.aas.txt
and end it by the command "Loop 1000" - to order AAPlay to replay the picture list "thousand times" equal to "forever" (as often as I want).

Editing the aas file by using the AASPlayers editor
Not needed, the AAPlayers commands are so simple (not to say "poor"), I am much faster, writing or correct that aas file in a text editor.

http://haufenzeug.de/cs/geh_web/pic/edit_aas.gif

What is needed?
Only two elements - the picture filename and the time it will be shown, a line looks like this
sm_01r.bmp -P0.005
the picture and " -P0.005" = Pause 0.005 second,
five hundreds second, than show me please the next picture.

All 26 pictures in summary are one loop of my animation.
You do see - it is a very simple way, right?

[Carsten Schermuly]

Remember to the boxes I have found under roof of main bulding of my ol' farm?
Some alived rests of the Library of Alexandria.

Yes, it's true!

I guess, people with two equal thumbs never will learn to walk correctly.

[Carsten Schermuly]

They have had time enaugh to learn it.

[Carsten Schermuly]

I can not help me, it seems, she is a bit headless.
