animation: intro video

I was digging the water until the bubbles that rise when we enter the water. First of all, they look extremely poor compared to the water itself, second, I think they aren't necessary, I think of Saving Private Ryan these days when I see shots like this and I don't think they had bubbles, not that you have to emulate that but it was extremely well done and all, and live action after all.

Also, the mines are a little odd, it looks like maybe you composited them in on top of the water? I would suggest some more depth of focus, regardless of how you did it, and maybe some more motion in the chains or something.

Lastly, the water texture and rain look excellent but the waves seem too small, more like snow moguls than waves. I'd suggest either decreasing the elevation of the waves or increasing their width.

Overall, very cool.

Oh, and read the forum rules and change your post topic so it doesnt get deleted by an admin.

The seascape reminds me of a tutorial that appeared in the Computer Arts magazine about a year ago. ;) Did you use it as a reference?:curious:

What are u talking about the bubbles look poor?? I think they look fine...and as for the water...it all looks the same...make some bigger waves, or something...awsome though i like :D

:edit: oh and the waves in the back...normally dont look so..round and stuff....they are lower...if u get what im saying.

I think I saw that tutorial, it was for lightwave though and this is done in 3d studio, I cant figure out for the life of me how to get mist to blow off the top of the waves, gues I 'll have to figure out how to write those scripts. There should be a larger set of waves manipulating the current set, but I don't think the average Jo will notice. Thanks for the crits and comments.
