Detailed Blood

[JJ]

I keep watching Castle 2 and i love the blod, how

it flows so naturally, and stuff, how it spatters and stuff...i want to know

how to make it like that, cuz, im haveing trouble.

[ramsy66]

I'd love to know the same thing! I'm pretty

sure you use masks to have the blood on the body and stuff, but I can't

animate blood spraying everywhere :(

[Cparty]

The only way is lots of practice basically

:shock:

Oscar has been animating for 3 years or so.

[JJ]

of cours oscar knows,

but his secret wont be revealed....probabley cuz he is sleeping

[Long_Haired_Buddy]

Oscar, didn't

Teh Alexandro guy make some toturial about how too make nice blood

effects???

[DomH]

Yeah, he did.

Also, the reason why

Castle III has taken shorten than expected despite its overall length is

because Oscar double frames practically everything, which gives it a pretty

stylized feel, and twice less time to animte, since you only have to animate

ever second frame. If he single framed everything, it would take a lot

longer.

[AlbinoZombie]

just practice my

friend. maybe if you practice long enough it'll even turn out better than

oscar's. just sayin, but its always that people have different opinions on

stuff..like blood. so, just go and give it a lot of tries until you find the

right way of doing it. if you like it, i'd just say practice using that

until you cant get any better with it. heh. well, dont stop using it but just

try to get better. good luck :wink:

Remember these pointers:

- Blood isn't standard red, it is also

transparent, on skin it is generally a dark redish/maroon like colour, try

something like "#660000". Work around something like that.

- Like

anything, it covers shade, reflects light. remember to put highlights

(whites) and shadows (blacks) on it. It will look more three-dimensional, and

have more life to it.

- Blood flows just like water, if you ever

wanted to know how it flows, go outside with some water and mess around.
*

by this I mean, get a (old plastic) cup, sit it on the ground (road if you

don't have a largish concrete/outdoor area), and kick the cup, near the

bottom. Mix with food dye, if you can't see it well.

Watch how the

water flows, and where it splatters, the patterns it makes, etc.
Now apply

those physics to blood.

- Blood won't flow out rapidly, its pumped by

the heart and therefore, it doesn't just go squirting out, unless you're

cut on the vein itself. Blood contains pressure, when a vein is cut, blood

pressure drops rapidly, and squirting distance gets lower :wink:

If

you need to know anymore about blood, ask me, I might draw up some stuff now

as examples, to show you.

[Long_Haired_Buddy]

Thats sounds pretty helpfull.
Lets have a blood contest. The

one who makes the nicest blood efect is tha king. *Bleeds too death*

[ramsy66]

That's some helpful tips, thanks mate. I think I know how to make blood

look, I just can't draw it, it's really annoying! But I'll keep practising

:)

[JJ]

pretty nice fact, ill test em

out at home. ya a personalized feel is better than coping others. will a

tablet help?

[nugget]

I hate the stupid brush animations with sticks n'

bright red blood.

typicall, the stick appear with some incredibly

random badly made smoke, then b ball rolls in, he picks it up, it explodes

leaving ugly blood floating and slowly going into smaller brush sizes, then

it disappears.

then the huge ass 5 minute long credit for the 10 sec

animation, with a linkin park song. Usually with a noob name like

Ok yea, back to the blood, try keeping it more

darkish read, not BRIGHT RED, and make one side contain shade, the other

light, and make it curve at the drops, to make it have a 3-D effect on the

viewer. Also use opacity when needed.

[javier]

Haha watch my first animation and its pretty much

like that =(

3 years ago or so, but bleh.

[nugget]

and I bet you nickname was something like,

IcyXenon_8891 :D

[javier]

Haha nah it was just Jvr -- My name is Javier

(Mexican), and that's still my name on Explosm forums ;P

[nugget]

what the fuck? your from

mty mex? me too...you fag. I bet you from asfm, and your in 6th or 7th

grade

[javier]

Oh my God? Where the

hell do you live and where do you study?

[nugget]

asfm

[javier]

What

the fuck is that?

Edit: Nvm, just googled it.
American School

Foundation of Monterrey, AC

I don't know what the hell is that.
Oh

well, how old are you.

Hoooly shit.

Jvr? wow, I remember you.

:D

Anyway those drawings are still to be drawn I guess.

[javier]

I don't remember you =(
From where do you know

me?

If you need to know anymore about blood,

ask me, I might draw up some stuff now as examples, to show

you.

One this it is snowing here in the eastern states of

america, but anyawy, i tried the drawing it and stuff just like u said, but

cant. some example i will like, if u aint busy.

(i didnt really try

the red dye stuff, i tried water(plain and simple, on my bathroom counter, i

could draw it by hand, tried to draw it in flash but failed ,maybe the tablet

im getting soon will help(like oscar said it might on msn messenger), but

untill then i need to master the art of animating blood with the computer

mouse. i need examples.)

[Netrosis]

I forgot to mention the laws of

physics.

With every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When a bullet pushes into a "bag" of blood, or a 'guts' area in the body,

the blood pushes back out, thus giving the 'squirting' effect, in the

direction from where the bullet came.

[Oscar]

Actually I don't think about all of this, I just do

what looks cool

[javier]

Rofl I know.
I don't go

out to mess with water either.

[Long_Haired_Buddy]

No but i think it's right. The

more real it is the cooler it is.

Your in

Mexico and you speak English? Your rich, right?

And I've bled base

red before. It really depends on how thick your blood is going to be to

figure out how dark your gonna make it.

[Netrosis]

Im not saying you have to go do all those things,

but If you've having trouble drawing it you should see firsthand how it

works, acts and know a little theory behind it, the better and more realistic

you draw blood, the better it looks.

I shall draw a REAL quickie.

[rezuth]

oscar has finished a

tutorial he will upload soon thoght

[Netrosis]

I'm sorry about the rushed and poor

quality, its not even a tutorial, just a way of displaying how adding depth

can change the look of

it.
