Thank you for your tip! Now I can upload my pictures, too. And I learned something about “the milestones”, what I ignored before…

Your pictures looks very interesting! I will see your animation, but at first I have to download a flv-player for mac.
So long.

Edit: Okay, now I have seen your video. Wonderfully music! And the spaceunits are flying very fine. But you will need some views from the pilots, fighting to win, too?
I am sure, it will come soon.

Hey Khalestra,

Good to see your final entry! Was a long haul but I but you’re glad you’re done! (as we all are :D)

My main suggestions for your future projects would be to concentrate on getting some good lighting in your scenes…working with a 3 point lighting system, etc. That will really help give your animations some depth. The explosions at the end looked good though…a nice climax for your race :)…it’s also nice seeing you experiment with some creative cinematography.

Good luck in the challenge :slight_smile:
