Did you saw this movie? I liked it very much. The maily technic used was rotoscoping with real actors (there is not motion capture in the 1982)

Rotoscoping was common in the past : the Lord of Ring uses too.

Wasnt this movie the basis for the computer game "Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.2"?

Its all about asses, violence, monsters and that sick stuff as well.
I thought i read about it in that relation...

Yes, i got the lord of the rings animation and really, one can see that they used rotoscoping, i already thought about doing this method some day too.
But i first have to learn it i think.

BTW: Have you seen the great movie "waking life"? Really cool, they filmed with actors and rotoscoped with computer, does someone know how to accomplish such an result with popular software??

Here is a sample if you havent seen this movie:

No, lucky , F.A.K.K2 was a rip off sequel but only the brand name is the same , nothing to compare.

I think you could easily (well, not really that easily, it would take a lot of work) recreate the Waking Life style with good ol' MOHO!!!

I have done some rotoscoping in moho and really, it's the easiest time I've ever had doing it... trace your character, then skip ahead 5 or 6 frames and use the magnet tool to adjust your tracing to match the human... repeat......

Oh BA, this is such good news for me.
Can you upload a little snippet just for me, cause iam so coureous on how it looks.
Also i have no idea about rotoscoping with mho, can you explain it a bit more to me?

I thank you for all help.

Special, creative regards from mr. blaaa.

Heavy Metal is still one of the best animated films in my mind. A lot of nostalgia in that film (absolutely love the B-17 sequence).

Heavy Metal: FAKK2 the game was based on the Kevin Eastman Heavy Metal comics and was released when the film Heavy Metal 2000 went to theaters.

Heavy Metal 2000 (or Heavy Metal:FAKK2, the original title for the film) is nowhere as good as the original.

Sorry i am not that familiar with that licensing "jungle" and well, seems like a good idea got ruined by the ones who want to earn money two decades after the first movie again.

Nevertheless, i'd really like to get on to the rotoscoping with moho issue again

i sometimes ask myself: would you get replies if you did not call yourself "mr. blaaa"

At one point in time, I had little theories on how to do proper rotoscoping in Moho (mainly, the tracing of pre-recorded images), but I concluded that it's not exactly feasible in Moho and it's not up to the strengths of the program. Rotoscoping would be doable for animation references (a horse, a dude running, etc.).

If you have the patience, rotoscoping in Moho is dead easy. Import the movie reference as a Quicktime file, then you can use vector layers on top of that to trace round the elements in the frames you are interested in. Remember to make each rotoscoped frame a keyframe. It really is as simple as that...if you have the patience.
