Yeah, I'm still working on my advert and am on schedule to finish it in time (just).

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a try next time.

Only particles drawn badly.

It looked really swish until compressing it onto video made it look like liquid....honest....it did!

I was playing around with the particle layer and got a little carried away with the spaceship and rotating rockets. But it looked sort of cool, so I thought I'd post it, but by the time it's compressed down for youtube it just looks like it's leaking pee rather than jetting through the stars :? : ht...

Excellent stuff with a good distinctive look.

Have a look in the Animation Contests section, it's the top post. Good luck.

It'd be nice to see your rig especially for those of us trying to learn about animation and how to do stuff in AS. Any chance of seeing your .anme files? Completely understand if you can't share it out though... I probably will after the comp. Though keep in mind I'm still learning myself and the b...

All in good time! She is rigged and ready to go. But I’ll save it for the competition (not that I’ve done any yet), the stills and the 2 second head turn will have to do for now.

Okay....

Here is a quick and early sample of the head turn:

I thought I should create an anime style character, the software being called Anime Studio! Almost finished it, complete skeleton, all lip sync variations and a pretty nifty head turn (only to the right though :-D): http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n276/betweenthedevil/woman0002.jpg http://i114.ph...

I have learned from heyvern (What a lot of thing I have learned from him!! THANKS!) a trick to use properly the gradient. Make one of the colors transparent or semi transparent. It will show the current color of the shape below. In this way you can apply two times a gradient and can have a backgrou...

Thank you, I would never have thought of that.

When I preview I get the the colours I expect, but obviously without shading and such: http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n276/betweenthedevil/preview.jpg However, when I render, I get this: http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n276/betweenthedevil/render.jpg What's going on? And how do I correct it?

I have a question on this rule: All work is to be the original content of the author. Does this extend to any/all images used in the animation? For 2 specific examples: 1. I have a few png trees I'd like to use. 2. A nice background I created in Bryce, but it uses a texture that is included with Bry...

Crazy stuff. I like it!
