Animation: "NAT" animation test1

[VestanPance]

Very nice!

The curtain movement is first rate!! It's very believable and the lighting is right on. The "smoke" noise is a bit distracting to me being so bright. It kinda pulls the focus away from the Can.
How bout a spot light? A very dim one tracking the character may add a nice touch.

The Can seems to pause a bit too long on it's way back from "teetering" on it's edge. Perhaps after holding on it's edge have gravity kick in a bit more and bring it back to the floor faster.

The "humanoid" charater looks great but the motion was a bit choppy. More than likely that is my machine and / or DivX.

Anyway nice stuff! I have yet to even grace animation. Thanks for sharing.

VestanPance: Thanks for your reply! I watched a hundred of times the character animation test... and it doesn't look choppy to me... maybe is the DivX compression!
Anyway the bin animation has to be a cartoony one... so i didn't matter on the garvity timing... i tried to make it a bit exagerated!
Keep on with c&c!!!!! :applause: :applause:

these are looking ace, I like the second one
the curtain works perfectly :thumbsup: :applause:

Looking really good.
The spots do seem a bit noisy but the idea looks nice... good balance. Can you post a high rez still of that scene so we can c&c it better?

The Character's animation is looking good. Possibly needs a little more exageration in his key poses. Also try shifting his weight to his right foot a little as he moves his left back.

Keep going... looking forward to seeing the rest.

thanks for reply guys!

The curtain is a simple 4 softIK chain with hi dynamic response.
About the character, i did this test in 40 min... and... i know that he need more exageration... Btw now i'm studying Preston Blair's book (traditiona animation) to better understand the "cartoon style" moving and timing... wait for updates!!!!!:bounce: :bounce:
