Here a version in 640x480 (DivX6 - 34 mo ) for linuxian and other who want a better quality to view keep or share ( Creative Commons license, you can ! =) )
If someone know how to publish it on Youtube or GoogleVideo could you help me ?
I will update the link to not make to busy my server. Thanks again
I would love to see your video, but unfortunately all i see are weird artefacts.
What codec did you use? is someone else experiencing this problem or is it just me?
I liked your scene, the flower, the elf, the grass, the light thingies that float on top of the water.
But the toad is like modeled by somebody else and just doesn’t fit in the same style. You should try to redo the toad.
You really did a great job DeeVad, it was very pleasant to see and the rendering is just wonderful. It needs some improvement in the fairy animation, but that said it’s very well done.
Really really good I thought
It seemed just a little dark though and some or your nice scene detail was lost or at least on my monitor.
Given the effort you must have put in you should render it a little bigger say PAL size to do it credit.
Great stuff.
The lighting is the best part.
The camera action seemed jibberish at start, don’t know if it was the loading of the movie or the movie itself.
The castle (?) reminded me of Knellotron’s movie with the particles.

enricoceric : thanks, for animation in 3D I need to experiment more with body. I will do it.
Corknot : hair ! took me 6 evenings of test for nothing… hair to move should have a skeleton, I did few video with hair moving with a mesh key. but to difficult to make it from a close view.Thanks for comment
BigFan :Thanks, for color, many of them go away with various video format. Next time I will work more bright and contrasted to have the best rendering.
vliegtuig : Thanks to greet my lightning , it’s come from my 2D ilustrator work Thanks to call of knellotron , I discover with a shearch on the forum is demo reel ; a great stuff inspirating ! But particules and halo are good way to make magical effect, and I like to produce marvellous Fx.
Wow very nice! This definately deserves 5 stars. I like the serene and mystic atmosphere sustained throughout your animation. You should do a much longer one with a story, like a short film.
Great job, the only thing that i think could use some work is the frog. Other than that your animation is simply amazing = )
Wow, really great movie! I like the frog/prince story theme. The animation wasn’t extremely detailed but something seemed to make up for that… Thanks for sharing!
very nice movie!
but agree with others about the frog… or maybe that’s the idea - an ugly frog.anyway, decoration is excellent and i liked the fairy a lot.
The models were all good. As others have said, the toad stood out - it wasn’t bad, but it didn’t have the same kind of detail, but I don’t know whether it was caused by the model or the texture.
The fairy was nice, but her wings were hard to make out. They were too transparent IMHO. You might’ve ment them to be that way, but in that case, I suggest adding some multi-colored glimmer or something so that what little of them can be seen right now stands out more.
The castle was fantastic, but the ball of sparkles the fairy send towards the frog looked strange.
Also, I don’t think the animation was as high quality as the rest of it. As an example, the fairy just flaps her wings and goes up, instead of jumping, or pushing with her feet, or even striking few more times to get herself to the air. Also, when she comes down, she looks like she lost her balance for a while - but only after she’s on ground. Just moments before that, she came slowly down, in a very controlled fashion. I’ll try to find the tutorial from which I learned the theory of weights and forces (continuing movement), even if I haven’t tested those in practise.
As others have stated, some of the animation was bit stiff and lacking some extra movements, but overall, very original idea and you pulled off the concept perfecty.
Thanks you all for the reply and comments !
Thanks Basse & BgDM ! your commentary are full of energy to let me attack one other project !
Endoperez : For animation, I made all without IK. Just with moving bones not well rigged, now I start to learn more what a good animation is and mean.

( sorry to forget you … )
What a magical little animation. Yes there were little things that you can imrove on, and they have been mentioned and addressed. But nothing needs improved on the magic feel you wove throughout the whole thing.
