I'll announce the winner and set up the voting thread after I get off work today.

Hey, this looks pretty useful. Maybe one of my must-have utilities for use with AS. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, that's a good idea DK. We could display awards in our signatures.

There's plenty of people here that I'd be thrilled to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of their work. Granted it has to something they can legally share, I imagine. Although this has looked fun enough regardless of the prize. After I get a shot at competing, I could probably dig something up. Mi...

Still eight hours to go from the time of this post. ^ I'm really hoping there will be another one of these avatar contests before too long. Hopefully everyone can re-enter any that they use here, and anyone that missed out can then compete. It's getting harder and harder to judge. There's some reall...

Wow. Very ingenious use of that technique DK. One of those effects which has a lot of impact for the amount of work needed.

I'll accept entries for 18 hours.

Cool, still getting entries.

Chucky, what happened to your walking banana? I never said anything about old avatars not being admissible, as long as they're made with AS.

It's only the deleting keyframes across layers that can't currently be done. The few scripters we have are eyeballs deep in other scripting projects most of the time, and well until MC adds better scripting access or puts this in the next version, everyone's kind of at our mercy.

Muahaha

That should be possible, since shading effect is one of the few we do have scripting access to. But it would have to be a layer script, which would mean naming the shapes. Also we'd have to used some funky method to store the animation, and doing different shading animations for several shapes would...

That could be done with scripting, but no one's done it yet that I know of.

Well eventually someone's going to have to provide the prize and judge so me and DK can compete. So hopefully the next one lands better on the schedule.

I'm going to announce the winner and start a thread for the members to vote the second place winner by Wednesday.

Don't worry Vilma, as soon as I get this all worked out, I plan on making a tutorial of the technique. Chewy, the older rig did need to be layer flipped at certain points to complete a full rotation, but the latest one can do a full 360. Well, at the very least it does the same as the old one. It ju...

..but actually wrote St Mary's on the Pill. (a pill being a tidal estuary stream). When I realized what I'd written, I just fell about laughing - great accident. Another writer on the series invented a vicar who confused biblical lines with music lyrics - inspired. ("the power of love is a cur...
