Feathers McGraw’s Dancing Hair

Posted on by

hair.jpgWe always try to find really cool Blender outwork for you and the other gazillion BlenderNation readers out there. But yesterday, I ran into dodgydavec’s ‘Feathers McGraw’s Dancing Hair’. It’s an animation gone very wrong and I couldn’t stop laughing out loud when I saw it!

Dave writes:

Playing about with the development version of Blender which has a nice new partical hair system. So, I added some nice new partical hair to my nice new penguin model. And it went, well, a little bit wrong.

I applaud dodgydavec for posting his blooper on YouTube. I’m curious – what’s YOUR best/worst Blender blooper?

      @Big Fan: not according to his own comment – I added it to the post.

      @Mason, Dread Knight – please read the post, this isn’t meant as a sample of shining Blender art but rather a call for bloopers. Remember the Shrek extras with the exploding Donkey hair? That kind of thing.

      @Big Fan: :) The serious music already gave it away a bit, didn’t it? ;-)

      Oh yeah, it immediately reminded me of the shrek extras, haha!
      Too bad I haven’t saved any of those render surprises.
      Displacement maps are my personal favorite so far, I often get landscapes with really sharp spikes or other strange deformations…

      Looks better than all my attemps!!!

      :D Always nice to see the struggle of the better animators. Keeps my spirit high in times where i can’t just get it right.

      LOTR also has a blooper section where Gollem animations go wrong.

      Of all the things to end up on blendernation for! Hahaha. Thanks, Bart :D I hope we get to see lots of bloopers here. Maybe I should have post Feathers with a flipper in a power socket. I could-a gotten away with it too. I it wasn’t for those meddling kids.

      My mistake was trying to render something wayyyyyyyy too memory hungry which ended up having to close it through task manager…

      He looks kind of like a chicken. :P

      Good to see you on the ‘Nation Dave! Even Feathers has bad hair days.

    • Claws

      reminds me of some of the cuts from Shrek – theres some bloopers on how they made the hair for the donkey – nice touch, it doesn’t always need to be serious here on BN :)
