It's a nice effect David. Next time you post it could we see it from more than one angle, that'd be cool. Keep posting.

Top marks Mike! Great idea. How on earth did you get so much into less than 4 meg??

He certainly looks scared xtaz! The shadow from whatever he is scared of looks different to his own, I don't know what's causing it but they don't look like they're cast from the same lightsource. Good luck with your entry, I'm looking forward to seeing the final animation.

Nice work! How did you get the grid effect on the speaker? Bill Gaylord was asking about this on a WIP but has now found a way to do it.

Looking (and sounding) good Mark. Is it your own face by any chance? Can't wait to see the full figure in action. Keep posting

Great work as always Brandon! An amazing range of expressions from such a spartan looking face. Look forward to the animations.

Could you explain that in a little more detail please Garcon? I just move the arms best I can but don't yet know the difference beetween an IK and FK movement. Thanks!

Great effect! It looks like the character is made of jellyfish.

Works on mine (windows media player and realplayer) Nice work and a good idea. Are you finding it easier or more difficult than the dope sheet? definitely in sync. I'd reccomend that when you tweek it you purse the lips more as he sings WILL. Good luck and keep posting.

Another winner! What are your plans for your new character?

That's looking great jamagica! The eyebrow poses work very well. Very imaginative! I think that lipsync will be fine just opening and closing the mouth, you have a talent for expressing emotion in your character with it's limited moving parts...well...limited parts! Good work, keep posting.

Looks good Jess. I'm enjoying following your progress on this project. Keep posting.

Simple changes have made an amazing difference. It's really coming to life now.

Nice work Robert! You've really stamped your own style on it. Can't wait to see some of this in motion! Keep posting.

Great work! I'm impressed with the hop, you've certainly given you character a sense of weight. Well done and keep posting your progress.

Great work Garcon! Man it takes me the best part of four hours just to get my a**e in gear! Well done.

Nice model Mike! How big was the actual sub?

Nice one jamagica! They'd look good in a glass of water next to some old fella's bed!

Hi Doug! I think the reason you didn't get a response was that there must have been many WIP submissions posted and you got pushed to the back of the line. I find that if I leave the forum and return all the threads which I hadn't yet read show up as read, so I miss some. Nice animation Doug. As to the smoke, it's not important if there would be any in reality, rather does smoke look right? I think it does. If we tried to be realistic then spaceships in deep space would not be illuminated (unless self illuminating), so we couldn't see them. As they would also be in vacuum we wouldn't hear them either. I'd go for what looks and sound right everytime. Next thread........The meaning of life..??!!?? Keep posting Doug, I've subscribed to this thread so I won't miss you next time!

Nice artwork Paul! I use matchstick men myself.

I'd be interested to know if The Art of Animation Master is going to be updated.

If you dress him in red you could use him for the Christmas contest! He'd work as a santa with existing hair. I think the deadline's 15th Nov.

Looks great so far! Has me hankering to buy a new car! Sadly can't afford one.

They now have setup machine 2 for version 11. You can get it cheaper as an existing user or get a free upgrade if you bought version 1 after 1st April 2004.
