Boids of A Feather

[Rodney]

Someone asked about more information on the Boids of a Feather project and workflow. With apologies to the creators if I'm stepping out of line by posting here on their behalf, I submit the following link:

 

Boids of a Feather

 

Information contained therein is a must read (IMNSHO) for anyone wanting to produce a finished short film in Animation Master.

WTF?!?!

 

I NO IMO, N IMHO

but I DUNT NO IMNSHO

JDALSCHELAM!!!

 

MDAMDM,

zackt.

[Dearmad]

in my not so humble opinion, you SHOULD know what IMNSHO means...

I can't help think what Boids would look like these days with v11's ability to do feathers with the hair particle system. Not to mention all of the other improvements. I think BoF was done in v's 6.5 and 7.

 

Shaun Freeman's Cuckoo and other characters look like they'd be at home in the BoF world. I smell a cross-over!

 

When is the next group of young, eager A:M users with more ambition than sense gonna do another one of these remote, collaborative things?

Has anyone ever seen or know what became of the completed project?

 

All I have ever seen is the trailer which looks incredible but I wasn't sure if the whole picture was ever completed.

[Rodney]

As far as I know, and I think the site refers to it, the trailer IS the finished project.

I'll confident I'll be correct if I'm wrong.

 

Ed?

The trailer is the finished product. There was some interest from a couple sources who wanted to do more with the idea but the characters aren't mine. I referred them to Suzan and don't know what happened after that.

 

If Suzan or Glen Crowell are on, maybe one of them can chime in.
