Hey, Vizjerei. I may not be the best person to critique your work as I am new to CG, but here's a few things I noticed:

1) The duck walking animation looks more like the body is simply rocking back and forth over the legs; it seems like there should be a bit of stretching where the feathery part of the leg meets the skin. Also, when the foot goes back, I thnk the "toes" should flex like the ball of a foot.

2) The cow is very nicely done; very funny. However, it doesn't seem to have any motion below the waist. If this is what you intended, then it works perfectly, the movement looks natural (well, at least as natural as the movie) but I think there should be a bit of motion in the knees.

3) The texture on the duckling doesn't look very much like feathers; it almost looks like felt. I know baby ducks don't really have full blown feathers, but this just looked a little to "mossish" for me. Also, there don't appear to be any wings.

4) The adult ducks feet are a little too aligned. The duck in the distance is missing an eye (!!!) and both seem to lack wings. I think you tried to use a texture to give the impression of them, but it seems a little fused with the body. Also, I think the ducks could use a bump-map on their bodies.

I think the cows all look good; love the camo!

Good work overall (much better than what I can do) Hope this helps.

Thanks, btw the matrix move thing will not be in my demo reel, don't really want to add it there and get ppl say i am copying from that Cow movie (forgot the name already :P) that pic created just for fun to see if the upper body move correctly.

The duck is not losing its eyes, i just make it close its eyes :eek:

Time to do some changes now :)
