It seems like there’s only one entry at the moment. Do we still have any contenders to this single entry out there?

i was trying, but it turns out I don’t know how to animate a ball :rolleyes:
Yup - Working at it.
As usual I’m using all original models and textures etc, so I’ll be a last minute entry.
Storyboards look good at this point!

Non-Participating Entry
Splund’s entry looks a bit lonely so I thought I’d just upload a non-participating entry

Why is your entry non-participating, McSmiffy? Afraid for too many votes?

I picked the topic for this round based on this old animation I did.

McSmiffy:
It didn’t seem fair to enter especially when you look at all the work that Splund has done.
Thanks for that McSmiffy, I had a lot of fun making this entry, I was planning on doing a MB Mousetrap animation so I thought I would combine the 2 projects. All models are new apart from the Ludster. The hardest part was the bullet time bit, but i think I have finally made friends with the IPO editor

ahh now it’s all clear … but you get +1 from me anyway for the dodgy sound-effects
[edit: I couldn’t make it, the balls kept on jumping …]

Hi all,
The number of entries for this round were quite dismal.
Congratulations to Splund for taking part in this month’s challenge. As Splund’s entry was the only competing entry entered, Splund wins by default, so well done Splund!

Noooo- YOU’VE CLOSED IT TOO EARLY.
I’M RENDERING DAMMIT!!!
i’m trying to animate a ball again btw, i might just have something (not worth any votes but still an entry :o ) … hurray for animation contests!
