With the attitude you have towards honest feedback, it's no wonder you were picked on relentlessly by other users...

Pitching a cartoon to Nickelodeon and CN is a bold move on your part and we're going to assume that you're delivering something exceptional if you believe that it's worthy to become a tv show. If a user doesn't think that your cartoon qualifies or that it needs improvements, they're certainly going ...

I made a new demo reel of everything I made this year. This time, I included some screen captures of my work space.

I usually don't share techniques like this, but I thought this was somewhat noteworthy, so here I am... I was working on my film and needed to make a 3D "sword chest" prop. The chest started off as a boring box shape, so I decided to try giving it a reflection. I came up with a masking tec...

Thanks. That's what I found too. I'll see what I can do with that.

YouTube is asking me to provide a link to the software's terms of use, but I can't find it anywhere; I can only find the terms of use for the Smith Micro website. Does anyone know where to find it?
Thanks.

Here's my final entry.

I'm afraid I won't be entering next month's competition... if you haven't heard the audio yet, it's nothing but sound effects.
Ah well, I need to get back to working on my project anyway...

I noticed that your video is well versed in 3d environments. Are there any tutorials available on how to produce 3d environments? The 3D environments in this animation are really simple. The 3D building, for example, is just a flat "wall" vector layer rotated 90 degrees on the x axis. Whe...

This is just a small project I've been working on alongside WhiteLand.

Since Nintendo's "Year of Luigi" is coming to an end, I thought I could make a Luigi animation...

The animation looked very good, and I'm not sure what is going on since we jump into the middle of a scene, but that woman just came across as a nagging shrew. Come to think of it, no matter where in the scene this is, she's a nagging shrew. Is her being a nagging shrew a flaw that I need to fix, o...

Thanks. The scenery I have, at the moment, is about as simple as it gets; I planned to add on to it after the animation is improved.

Any insights on the character animation would be most helpful.

This is my first time entering an animation into any contest, so thoughts are much appreciated; I wish to improve this as best as I can.
Thank you.

You're a good writer; you continue to be funny and your animation is solid. Just a small suggestion regarding the audio: wearing headphones, I can tell that you have your audio tracks positioned in front of the character that is speaking, which is good. However, when the camera moves slightly away f...

Here's a good article on eye specular highlights: http://grinning-tiger.com/2013/03/24/eye-specular-highlights-the-pixar-problem/ That was quite an eye-opener :wink:. After reading it, I looked into the eyes of my family members and noticed the the highlights on the iris do, in fact, move with the ...

Looks good. Is the highlight supposed to move too? It stays in once place, usually it would animate with the iris. Just wondering. I, personally, don't understand why people animate the highlights. I think it's more realistic and better-looking if left in one place. But that's only my opinion. I li...
