Interesting modern feel (and looks good) but very weird: strange palette, odd mix of character & background, obscure intent. Was is subtle? Was it ironic? Was it an advertisement? Art? Who's the audience? p.s. I saw "Watchmen" this weekend & I wondered the same kinds of things - and I liked it too.

Knock yourself out... BUT no complaints about hanging! No complaints about how long it takes! No complaints about how big the files are! No complaints about crashing!

I'm just being over-the-top theatrical for entertainment's sake.

BTW, cool image, Josh.

DPI!!! My head's going to explode! (Please, never mention "DPI" and "resolution" in the same breath again or my heart will fail.) 720 X 405 will work fine (better than fine) if you're doing an animation. 1200 X 800 looks pretty good on a computer screen. 2000 X 1600 will look great in any magazine or 8X10 print, (we use it for posters!) p.s. Quick, Robert, jump in front and block me with your body when the next guy brings up megapixel render settings.

What! Are you rendering a billboard!? I read all kinds of BS in these forums about resolution. At one point I even wrote a long Tech Note about it to try and straighten out all the misinformation. In a previous life I wrote the mechanism software for the HP Deskjet printer, and one of the things I wrote the code for was resolution. And, of course, I wrote 99% of A:M's renderer... There are few people on this planet that know more about resolution than I do, and anything over 2000 is ridiculous. TWO is rendered at 720.

I can say from experience that Rodney is a better animator than most of the people in this forum... And if you exceed Rodney's expertise then Robert (robcat) has been known to help someone who's struggling and there's darn few animators better than him.

You know what Winston Churchhill said the 3 things the British Navy was known for? (You'll need to use Google cuz I ain't gonna say...)

My goodness - and I thought going to Africa was an eccentric way of getting skinny?!

Cool thought processes, and informative too!

I'll answer for all the lurkers with a resounding, "Yes!"

That I'd like to see!

I assume you're using A:M Track?

Oh, man - I'm hearing a story just looking at that expression.

Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about. Another tour de force, Ernest. When you're done with this series, you need to fly up so we can talk.

I'm there!

Martin would NEVER do anything like that...he has 'people' to do that. Head's up, Mike. James will be there at the end of the week (NY Comicon). Heath will be there Friday. You can run but you can't hide.

I heard there's a pill for that.

Mark, seriously - I had dental surgery and my top lip is swollen up bigtime. If you're going to be posting things like this that make me smile, you should at least warn a guy first! (Good to have you back, man.)

That's a great experiment, Paul! I'm thinking "story" as I watch it... (My measure of an animation's appeal.)

She looks great, Mark. Anime people would fight over her bod.

Ta-da! ("Chorus Line" TaoA:M extercise put to the test.)

Katt should be ecstatic!

Paul, try the Hair "jitter" feature in Multipass.
