Man, that is one big tail.

Excellent work on him! He looks very cuddly!

Completly agreeeeeee!

Your skills are just amazing! +1 for floppy ears

Seconded! I love the ears, although the whole thing is just jaw-droppingly amazing O_O I'm starting animation classes next semester and this just reminded me why I signed up for them :D

Oh my god, this is AMAZING. I mean, I know there are a lot of good 3D animators in this fandom, but this is definitely way up there.

this is so sick :D

How much would it cost for a commission like this!? ; w ; OMG ITS AMAZING I FEEL LIKE DAT KID FROM TEH INCREDIBLES!

Dude... if you ran a studio making stuff like this
I would put all my money into moving so i can WORK FOR YOU T_____T;;;

Fantastic work as usual!

This is movie grade stuff dude, you're going to go places, fo' sho.

I dunno, the fur on the tail looks good, if not familiar to me like a fursuit tail from an expert maker. What kind of look or fur texture did you have in mind?

Another impressive piece. I will agree that the animation doesn't looks as natural as Vivon's, but I am still quite impressed with it and it still looks fluid and convincing. This in my personal, completely uneducated opinion of course.

It is nice to see a different character, however, and I can't wait to see where you end up with all this. Everything you have submitted thus far has been fantastic, and I am always anxious to see what you have done when I see the notification in my inbox. Cheers mate, for all the good work.

Yet another amazing model from you! I really love how nicely you rendered the fur and the subtle animation on the ears. I can't wait to see you make more!

those ears. *u*

This is very good, though are you ever going to experiment with the digit-grade stance or leg configuration? Also, how about coils? Doing some of that would be a good experience, and it will be nice to see you expand on that front. Great work otherwise :D

That is some seriously sweet animation! Great work! :D

Yes I agree the walking movement seems a bit off (but I can't tell you exactely were sorry :( )

But the floppy ears are

omg u have such a wonderful talent

u should totally make a furry movie =3

Great work. Looks pretty much flawless to me.

Superb work loving the secondary motion the int ears and tail and the swing in the body is just right. I look forward to seeing more.

one of these days, and i dont know when, i would drop whatever kind of funds i build up to get a commission from you done like this. it would be awesome! beautiful work once again and though im no animation expert, i think it turned out amazing :)
*Tanek*

Very nice! Very fluid =]

Really awesome shading!

That is some really impressive animation.

even if they are old works they still look really amazing!

You never cease to amaze me.

Absolutly great!!!!!!
As always

looks really well!
I love the movement of the ears too!

MAKE GAMES!!! 8D yaaay. lol.

Very neat detail and graphics as always. ^^

The floppy ears could stay, but the tail should be fixed up a bit. I think in a 3D modeling the end should end like a cone with the point at the end. Render less fur at the end and it should show better. But it still looks great otherwise! :3

very cool man =]

Y U SO AWESOME

The floppyness on ears in motions does seem rather realistic. I got dogs with standie up ears and they flopp alot when moving. Guess also depends on species to. But damn, that looks awsome, hope see more from you soon!

As I said before: Finally a furry artist working in 3D animation that knows what they're fucking doing.

I love the way his ears wave!

O.=.o You've single handedly brought Furrys to reality, love the lighting on this!

i want this as my screen saver lol

Fantastic! Rendering this must have killed your workstation slash render farm

this is so awesome.

Looks fantastic! Motion is very natural and fluid. Personal thing, but love the look of his footpaws too - nice to see a plantigrade type foot in that detail (hopefully there's more to see of them for us paw-lovers in the future). One suggestion I would offer would be to firm up the ears a bit. If you look at a dog with similar ears, they're actually more rigid than what you've rendered, and resist flexing a bit more with walking motion.

DAT ASS :D

Awesome Animation and model. And in my humble opinion the tail is just right the way it is clad in fur. so floooooooooffy <3

WHOOAAA you are skilled

damn

cute woof

Gosh, that's amazing!! He looks great- but I do have to agree that the ears are a LITTLE too wobbly. ^^

Holy crud, that came out good. As someone on an Animation degree I can appreciate the insane amount of work must have gone into this. Nicely done.
*gets hypnotised by the ears* @_@

The detail in this is amazing

His tail looks like oval shaped surface covered with short fur :\

exactly, I intend to make it longer and thicker at the base :C

This is wonderful!
Now only if I could get this to run as my background on my ipod xD

Massive furcount is always an utter nightmare to render, how long does it take to do a frame?

6min full HD

on my 4yo QuadCore =) can't wait for next year's ivy bridge

he should design a furry game with many of us as characters in it :D i call it for a Medeville era :D

Wow this is really good!

*watches his ears* Fump..fump..fump..fump..fump..so..mesmerizing..

holy shit, this is greatness

love the tail. so fluffy x.x

Gosh it's amazing seriously!

Holy pazooey. That is amazing.

My mind has been blown. This is amazing! ^w^

You know what really trips me out? Watching the floor between them and letting my brain try to figure out what's happening to the floor as they walk on it.

Yeah Umm I'm just gonna have to favorite this and stalk you for a while now :(

Impressive delicacy in the fur. Looks very realistic! Nice smooth motion, very convincing! I love how the ears wobble a bit and especially...LOVE THE TAIL! Tails must be big and floofy! Absolutely outstanding! :D

TAIL is superuberific!!! and so fluid and the ear wiggles <3 Very appealing and hawt, just beautiful

OMG! The detail of this animation is fantastic! The moving chest, hips tail and ears.... like a pro :)

ph my god thats amazing!!! I'm totally gunna fav this!

he is soooo sexy ;)

do you do commissions????

The waist, arms, and head all look nicely fluid. The right leg looks a bit stiff upon stepping down, but all in all, it looks nice.

And he's so cute and fluffy, too! X3

amazin work~ |'3

PLEASE MAKE VIDEO GAMES

wow, btw what renderer? vray/mental?

C4D's Advanced Renderer, the internal engine.

D8

WOWZA! too cute

I had no idea there were other 3D animators on FA

Terrible, isn't it?

Your animations not bad man. Nice overlap you got going.

Would it be possible to talk to you on aim or something sometime. I love your fur system. And your models look fantastic.

I don't use aim, but usually I'm lurking on FurNet IRC, with same nick

That... That is incredible. So that's what a furry would look like in reality O_O.

The fur is flowing really nicely dude~ great to see some 3D work on here :3

Magifico!

Dem ears. <3

Woow! I love your 3d ! O__O

What did you use to render the fur?

Cinema4D's internal fur engine.

Those swinging ears are almost hypnotic.

Oh my.. god. I am speechless. Words cannot describe how awesome this is.

please listen to this song while viewing this animation for maximum viewing enjoyment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vj092UgKwQ

Awr he's so cute ^^ Very poofy tail! Wish he'd have digit legs instead

I just had to log in to fave this and ask some things.
I'm starting out on 3D, partly with lessons, and partly studying at home by myself, so some hints would be nice, but... I'm fine with just these two:

Did you rig the ears too, or is there some sort of extra setting for "soft material"?
Did you try other fur settings/other programs to render the fur besides C4D's internal engine?
Finally, the tail seems most likely rigged AND animatted too... or is it just something rigged hanging from the body, using some sort of physics system?

Thank you for any info - I'd prefer a reply on a note, but anything is great.

Heya!
The ears are rigged with bone-chains for manual and dynamic animation.
I found the C4D fur engine to be the quickest most versatile when I started to do furred characters some years ago. The Look I like renders in ~4min a frame.
The tail in this animation is not handanimated, it's auto-dynamics all the was.

amazingly wonderful. i thought the head bobbing seemed a little extreme. until i realized that was probably to show off the flexibility of the ears.

Very well done! :D

These walkcycle animations are simply stunning!
