Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

This is how i do all my school reports when the teachers let me animate them.
i sit down with my trusty tablet... go into the Zone, and don't come out until it's done. usually guaranteed an "A", and it's better than writing essays.

did you Copy/paste any of the stuff? (the arm-foldey thing seemed repetitive)
and... just a thin brush tool? great style to the characters!
ya should put some stuff up in the art forum if you have any stills.

art forum on NG?

ahah, i know what you mean, thats wonderful! doing an anim instead of essay!

Yeah i copied and pasted some stuff! RECYCLE! ahhaha. that recycle move was very concpisoucs though.

Yes, thinest brush. I always at least zoom in 150% while i draw.

I'm using a mouse...but the Cintiq tablet looks sooo amazing, it might convert me to a tablet user.

i've really never gotten anything done in 3ds Max... yours was epic!

not to be the failed magician, revealing all the tricks to the audience, but i gotta ask.... how did you do the explosions? well, i know they're particles, but how did you texture them?
ink 'n'paint works really nice on the tanks :D

can't wait to see more!

Author's Response:

The explosions were done, like you said, with a particle system (parray) and the texture for them was an Ink and Paint (2 tone) with a falloff shader based on distance from the explosion origin. For the fiery look, I placed a bunch of lights at high intensity (~5) around the base of the explosion and turned down the intensity as the explosion died.

Sorry it that was a little confusing.

nice. lagged horribly on my computer tho...

and to S-K, the movie looks like it was imported into a program like After-effects or something, to turn it into a bitmap, and you can use imported graphics in flash, it doesn't all have to be vector.

Thank you for your review.
I'm not animating in Flash anymore...
that's the reason for HUGE SIZE movies, I did use many softwares for the edit and final composite, so what you see isn't vectors. :)

laggy as anythings. you've added too many filters ontop of filters!!

remove a few of those, and add a preloader, then you've got yourself a game!

Author's Response:

yeah I have alot of filters going, but I also have about 3 or 4 more enemies going than I need to atm, so the real deal will run fine.
as for the preloader, I'll have to figure a way to get one from here at home over to school and get it working in CS3 (I can't work on this at home since I have MX 2004, sucks :/ )

tons of great effects...
intresting workflow, but i'd work in the other direction...
(import bones to photoshop, shade, export as .png's and tween 'till done.)

good stuff....
