Wow that's some really really nice stuff! Can you post some shaded-wireframes? Would like to see how much is geometry and how much is bump maps and stuff.

Final version up [url="http://demented3d.com/animation/nightmare.avi"]http://demented3d.com/animation/nightmare.avi[/url] (divx) [url="http://demented3d.com/animation/nightmare.mpg"]http://demented3d.com/animation/nightmare.mpg[/url] (Mpeg-1) 16 pass render with motion blur, about 1:10 per frame. Tweaked out a bunch of little things. The camera suggestion was a great idea but I didn't implement it, I'd have to re-animate his head to look at the camera in the new position and I didn't have enough time. <_< Thanks!

Thanks Michael & Robert :) There was no motion blur because I just did 1-pass renders, doing a final render tonight with mo-blur before I crash. I forgot to make him blink, hehe thanks for reminding me! The camera angle is a good idea I'll try out. He is moving a bit too lively, but I always thought of this character as being late 50's/early 60s .. old, but not too old to give them youngin's a good yelling at. You're the 2nd person to bring up the finger issue with this guy.. I thought I could get away with it since his proportions are pretty exaggerated, but I'll probably give him a proper middle finger now (all the better to flip ppl off with hehe). Too late for this animation (due tomorrow) but it'll be there in the next short. Thanks again!

Hiya :) I've been working on my entry for the 10 sec club and would like to get some feedback if possible, thanks!

But it's from Nightmare before Xmas when Sally tries to poison the Doctor, I've added some subtitles which should help. All done in 10.5.
