This was my first animation project, the one i had tu submit as a final work at the animation course. It had to be 10 secs, so i had tu cut the animation work and deliver it as it was, so i haven't finish the animation yet.
After a while a group of friends and i decided to upgrade it and finish it in order to have a demo of our own. So it became a group project. So far:
I did the modeling of the Mambobot and the tables,all the animation,cameras and editing, and my firend Maricela Gomez did the palms modeling, the texturing, and finaly both of us worked on the lighting.
We are working in an extended version, in which Francisco Morales (Feeank in this forum) is remaking the controls (ik's an all), the three of us will make the animation , Gerardo Siso is composing an original song and Rodrigo Garcia will do the editing... so with all this talented help i hope it will be a very nice project.

For now, i'll thank any critiques you can make about the animation and all. I'll maybe post another thread in 3d stills with some full sized renders. I'll let you know.

Well, enought yara yara, here is the link:

I like it, The set looks fine, & i think in Render must look Awesome (maybe MR with RT), i sugest as reference "THE MASK" this movie has one shot where Jim C. Dance Mambo with Cops.


Keep Updating

I suggest Global Ilumination for your final Render.

C' ya.

:thumbsup: Gracias hermano!! I liked your animation a lot, I see that should only leave the camera in an angle for better evaluation of the movements. congratulations!

Thanks a lot 3DS. About the camera movement it's set that way to hide the unshowable bits of the animation, like an arm going through the head and stuff and simply going crazy all over the place (whatever it takes to make the shot;) ). Anyway, I'll see if we can post a single-camera video, no use in hiding those errors.

New Setup is done, so you can start animating the follow up. The shaders look great, though the hat's wing looks a bit too thick.
