::: keeping a mental note: rim light = front of character:::: This is valuable info.

Most exquisite workmanship. Bravo! How much a boat like this costs?

That is one helluva'n expressive face. That nose looks almost human. Nice job.

That looks pretty good. My I suggest that you don't flatten all of the hair on head and body, maybe have some long hair up on top to add character.

Mapping

Looks good. Has kids appeal. Interesting mask, can't tell where it starts and where it stops.

Wow John, that was cool. I especially like the background - running water? A tute for the water alone would be great.

Sounds like Mel Brooks... Am I getting warm?

Aesthetically looks good. To be engaging, however, the eyes must be more communicative - in other words white with black pupil, it would also be good to color the iris (blue, brown etc.) The bottom line: what kind of character is it? (a macho? A bully? A nice guy? etc..)Once you answer these questions the rest will come easy.

Now that was good! Great shock value.

Looks a lot more attractive. Good job.

Whoa! That was great.

Indeed they were. I took my animation classes in Southern California in 1981 one of which was on the hands of George Goepper (he was in his 80s then- a retired Disney animator). Computers then were nothing more than big calculators. Who would've thunk it that we'll be animating with mouse & keyboards instead of animation table and cells! I still have my animation board, super 8mm camera with stop motion, animation cell and papers, guide - hey...I just realized... I'M OLD !!!!!

The control points don't seem to be attaching to the splines... me thinks

That's some awsome work John. Great job! WOW

Looks good. A quick and easily recognizable logo. Good work.

Good smooth lines. It's funny how the retro look is catching up to space ships too. I mean what's a turbine engine doing on a spaceship? How can such a propulsion engine work in frictionless vacuum? But, alas! The artistic license

Animation, when it comes down to it, is no more than just another form of communication thru art. It is limited only by the imagination of the animators, most of whom try to imitate others works (i.e. Anime, space ships etc..). There is no right or wrong, good or bad in art. But few can capture the attention of the maximum number of audience either thru content, visual appeal, or emotional connection of their work. Fewer still can include all those elements in their work. The Marshmellow piece has the originality of the artist's vision, borrowed content, and familiar objects which made for quite an entertaining piece, it made me and my family laugh. In other words it brought joy, it had an impact, a response. As artists we interpret our society's status quo by manifesting our personal visions in CG stills or animated characters. I think it's good to philosophize about the work being presented in here because it will lend to a better understanding of this art form, the artist, and ultimately ourselves

LOL That was classic! Great job.

Also watch the bicep/forearm connection (elbow). It looks like it can be wacked off with a butter knife. Police robot! Scary thought

I'm only using common sense here, no prior experience or anything. Rule of thumb: CYA! Get everything done in writing, have them sign a contract with you. Make sure they stipulate that their work is original and that it is being recorded and distributed for you and by you. If I were you I'd hire a lawyer who is in the entertainment business to draw up such contracts. The last thing I'd want is a law suit that sends me to the poor house! Good luck.

Now I see seven's point, but what's with the title "the biggiest"? What's a biggiest anyway? I think the reason why there aren't many animation clips with sound is either lack of owning a web site that can host such clips and/or the limit of file size in this forum to accomodate such clips (as is with my case). Is there a formula that calculates how much of one's project to render, with sound, that keeps the file under the maximum file size acceptable to load in this forum?

huh?
