We'd really need to see screen shots. Or if you can replicate it, send it into AM:Reports.

Yeah, nice. Real nice. The sprites seem to be disappearing with a pop though.

Very cool. Some relief from their previous frog character. Can't watch it without smiling.

Nice progression. I especially like the way the hat came out.

Nicely done. The last one is at a cool angle.

Works here on a PC. Although it was messing up a few days ago before I got the latest v7 quicktime. Also, make sure you have all your browser windows closed when you're installing quicktime.

So, are you going to help us out with landscape on TWO or what John?

To be honest, I'd love to see something like one of these dinos as a mascot on the AM cd some year.

Yep. Thanks David....and also Mark.

Nice one Paul!

Good question! I've never needed to do that. Can't figure it out either. Cookie cut won't do it right. I think those forums have been pruned. The old stuff may still be in the archive....

Great stuff! But save all that energy for TWO!

Yeah, you'd nearly need to get a real bucket of water and see what happens. Not bad though. Also, the shadow is moving with the water!

That's great. It certainly would have made my choices more difficult to narrow down.

That's great. Is it all AM? Some of it looks very photorealistic! Shame you didn't make the contest. Wonder why.

Nice. It could use some ripples. I think that might complete the effect.

Cool! I love every thing but his mouth. No lips! Maybe that's the style though. Also a smallish point. I think he goes to work out the 60 years bit too early. It's like he's working it out before he's said it.

Looks cool. Nice work. Look forward to animation.

Yep, I've been thinking that but trying to avoid it. Since someone spotted it, I'll add some more vines to steady the seat base.

An idea for the flag leaves. Not the type I wanted but all I could find.

Thanks guys! Paul: Drums!! That's exactly the sort of thing the Loons need. Maybe other instruments too. Hope someone "in power" is reading. Dan: All the leaves are hair particles. As to what TWO is.....lift off that rock and rub the scales from your eyes: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showforum=52 Rob: Definitely. However, if the seat is going to rotate, they can't be fixed on there. Have to think about it. Yeah I think Palms are what I'm thinking of too. Off to Google search. Jaqe: Yes, it's all temporary materials right now.

Here's some leaves on it. Abit even and tidy (too slow for me to groom) and green (they don't look so green in PS) but acceptable. I'll leave out ropes till the scale gets sorted.... Edit: One request for all the modellers. Can you model in "don't show backfaces mode". That way, particles will work properly and there won't be "holes" in the models for the cd.

Here it is rotated. Looks good too. Just the leaves and straggly ends to add now. I've also been thinking about adding 3 big jungle leaves to the back of the chair, but I can't think of the name of them. You know the jungly sort of leaf I mean.... PS I also extended the front of the base so there's room infront of the seat to step up.

Thanks Rodney. I've added a ladder....I'm leaning toward this design. But it's easy to put the ladder in the other model. Anyway, I think I've just got some vines on the seat and vine detailing left to do.

This image has the camera at about 5 feet 6 inches. It will give an idea of the height of the throne. I rounded out the top of the base for the seat to sit in. Also, I came up with two styles at the top of the seat. The first seems abit more rough and ready (loon style?). Will let me know which you prefer. I also thought it would be cool if there was another structure beside this that held the Kings accessories....instead of just putting a "shelf" on the throne, it seems the loons would build a whole other structure to do a simple job. Edit: This is how I see the seat from the drawing. It's more of a perch than a chair....the chair is at an angle and has more of a back to it. I like the perch idea best.
