Hi gang! :slight_smile:
Long time no post from me here.
Here is my newest 10 second animation of two donkeys:

Please, feel free to criticize!
The goal of the contest is character animation, but if you find the metarials and lighting awful, don’t hesitate to tell me :wink: I made 'em in the last moment before the deadline.

HAHAH! Great! Some of your best work.

Only one suggestion, the punk-donkey (on the right)- his movements are slightly large towards the first half of the movie. Besides that, amazing.

Phenomenal. I love it. You are the best.

Maybe it was just playing mpegs on a Mac, but the motion seemed very claymation-like. Slightly lower frame rate coupled with no motion blur? Was this intentional? If so, nice job. If not, oh well, I guess that’s just one more reason to hate working on a Mac.

This is fantastic animation. Lip sync is spot on, don’t worry about the material or lighting problems with animation that good you don’t notice… trust.

YOU ARE THE MASTER :smiley:

What? Lower frame rate? It’s 25 fps. I tried to achieve more cartoony motion though - more snappy with stronger pose holds.

Very nice animation Lyubomir!

I can’t see a problem with the texturing or the materials, or
the animation either!

I like how the Punk Donkey flicks the College Donkey’s tassle!

OK, here is a new version.
I fixed the motion a bit - it’s more fluid now, not so stiff and cartoony. I also fixed the eye motion of the talking donkey.

Tell me do you think it’s better now?
