Then there would be props, and backgrounds, and enemies, and all sorts of junk like that.  Taken all together, all of this would be a pain.  Much better that the Dojo supply all of these things for you, so that you can get directly to animating.  So, that's what we'll do.  Here are some files for you to play with!  Aren't we nice?
 
 

• DojoBot:  This is a moderately detailed character that you can use in the animations called for in the tutorials.  This model is also useful when your character (whether the Dojo-Bot or a model you create) needs an opponent for a particular technique.   [ Download File Directly ]  [ Download Zipped file ]

• DojoBot Lite:  This character has the same skeleton as DojoBot, and basically the same structure, but none of the trim and detail features that makes DojoBot look nifty.  At just a handful of patches, this character is ideal for manipulating in Realtime Mode, or for creating quick renders for timing tests.  Then, when you've got your animation finished, you can just apply it to the skeleton of the full DojoBot model when it's time to render.   [ Download File Directly ]  [ Download Zipped file ]

• The Dojo:  This is a detailed background setting with a basic lighting setup and a few propitious camera angles already established.  The goal of this file is to eliminate the need for a starting animator to establish their own background and choreography.  [ Download Zipped file with textures ]

• Dojo Lite:  In the same way that DojoBot lite is a faster rendering version of DojoBot, the Dojo Lite is a faster version of the Dojo.  It has just a few flat planes to receive shadows.  All detail is applied by Camera rotoscopes which are included in the Zip file.  NOTE:  This project may only be used with the standard camera angles defined in the Dojo.  Moving cameras will not display properly.   [ THIS FILE NOT YET READY ]
