I wasn't going to show the whole clip,... but i couldn't figure where to split it. so here it is. In the original story, it was a bug, with a puffed out mouth that sprayed something at Jam, which started him sneezing. But for the life of me, i could not imagine one, so a flower got to job. Thanks for watching ouch__Goblin__togerthe.mov

Hi Everyone, in this very small clip, the companions meet a centipede. It's a new model. The movie is being created from the book Wizards Last Rule. Which i renamed, Just A Wooden Sword, Because of a scene, that just made sense, I've renamed it. Then again, it may be the sentiment's of a grandmother, who's grandson was 8 when he recorded the part of the Dark Elf, now he's all grown up at 18. looking for others opinions, "Maybe There's More Dragons" Thanks for watching That__s_the_plan.mov Maybe_There__s_More_Dragons.mov

Hi everyone, first this is a replacementt clip,from the clip (Grim are you hungry) as robcat Suggestion..." the characters with dark forms like the witch and cat need something not so dark behind them so we can see what they are doing. They are fading into the background too much here." Thank you again robcat, for your very helpful suggestion. i have shown both clips, one to be fixed, and one where I attemptedd to fix it. I"m still working on Rodney suggestion of " a layer of (mostly transparent) cloud-like matter (noise/atmospherics?) overlaid on top of this sequence as that would really sell the effect of these characters moving through actual space/flying th…

Hi all, for the sake of render time, because of applied texture, i split this clip into three parts, rendering each segment separately, as a layer, then assembling them at the end.

I've started helping Katt out with a few things on her project. Here's a set I've been working on for her. The muddy water is animated and there is particle bubbles, but I didn't render the with particles on. I added 2 models in the chor for a sense of scale. Lighting for a toon render was a bit different. I opted to render with "toon with falloff" with one kleig light, which I think came out pretty well. Hopefully this is a look we can carry over to some of her other scenes.

This segment belongs near the beginning, right after the wizard banishes witch Lena. . In the scene, where the wizard is writing on the book, it did not turn out as I hoped. I remember a tutorial a few years back where they were writing with sprites, but don't remember it being in color. if anyone knows how to do the writing on the book , I hope they'll will share.

thanks Martin, i get so evolved in the animation, it's good to take a break and see all the great work, that all you other artist and animators have done. I am looking for a way to put low misty fog in the next scene, because the elves are going into the swampy part of Dreadwood's forest. I've been playing around with smoke, but I wonder if their is a better way. thanks for any help. Katt
