Small animation icons in the render window

[Tore]

Do anybody know the story behind the small animations running next to the abort button when rendering in A:M?

Some very nice animation in all of them. Are they made by the same person, are they made specifically for the render window, etc.?

As far as i know these are the mascots of the former years. Some are very old like version 3 or 4. Who made the animations? I am not sure... I think the creators of them.

 

See you

The animations are related to mascots/CD characters as Fuchur points out. The ones I recall:

 

PInk girl/Diane (walking)

Dennis the Dog - Raf Anzovin

Troll - Billy Eggington's character with heavy axe

Petey and Jaydee - there are at least 5 variations (chasing/running after each other, sumo standoff, punching each other, head burn and pouncing/stomping on Jaydee... or is that Petey?)

Perk (walking) - Dusan Kastelic's troll

Gordon Bellows and Briar Rose (running) - Stephen Milligen's characters

Red Dragon (breathing fire) - Momentum Animation's character

Troll - Ken Heslip's character breaking through brick wall (ala Steffen Gross's Newton Physics)

Yeti (walking) - Kevin Waldron's character (I believe he created the similar Wookie as well... but the Wookie isn't a render animation)

Hmmmm... perhaps I'm missing one here... or maybe not.

 

Trolls are well represented!

 

I know the render animations are part of A:M history and such but perhaps we could update them in the future.

I've attached a few of the above listed render cycles here as many are not seen often.

Ah yes trolls galore! Fun to see them all, side by side! Thanks for the info :-)

Petey and Jaydee were/are? also from Momentum Animation Studios, in Australia, but specifically Dylan Perry et al.

 

here's from hash CG history

It would be GREAT to update them. OR- add your own!
