Happy Easter! ^^
Concept: MLP
University Project
3dsmax/Photoshop/MentalRay - Modeling/Texturing/Skinning/Rigging/Animation/Shaders/Lighting/Rendering/Post production by me. Say goodbye to your social life for a while.
After 10+ weeks of constantly changing and tweaking this animation I'm finally happy to call it a day. I would just like to thank everyone I poked to get feedback and comments so I can fix it and improve it. I went through 30+ different passes trying to get it right and comfortable, mostly learning the principles of animation, mostly timing. Oh and creepy looking faces. .__.
Total Render time: 260 hours
Inspiration thanks too 2snacks and the community on the art chat room on Equestria Daily. Also thanks to Shadowheartpony !
Also check out the 3D print!

Swwwweeeeettt! Glad to see more from you, and I like the animation only nit pick would be that her face looks a little static throughout the movements, maybe a little lurch forward before the boost, itd be hard to go from zero to supersonic without some previous movement, other than that looks great, plus you know more about animation then me. Gotta love hair physics

I'm sure it was hell making that and I have great respect for you to finish it at all (you can look in my folders and find dozens of unfinished projects) The worst thing an artist can do is never finish, in addition im sure you learned loads about the do's and don'ts of animation, in addition I've never really animated something like that before so I cant say that I could do even something a tenth as good as that, rainbow effect boggles my mind

I actually had a good night sleep knowing it was done. :') I do to, so it's quite common for everyone to dabble in different things, well at least I think it is! This might be interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_basic… I probably missed a few of them, or did bits incorrectly, but it's a good starting point.

I need to get more rest lately... anyways a source of knowledge that is not only extremely usefull but something that got me interested in animation since I was little is the book The Animators Survival Kit ( www.amazon.com/Animators-Survi… ) I might have already recommended it to you (since I recommend it so often) Animating UV's ouch, I'm not familiar with your software so I'm not sure really what it was like for you, but I can be sure it was a little more than difficult, and Your Welcome, and as always STAY AWESOME! (I say that a lot but I mean it)

That's OK, you don't have to take part but if you could share it that would really help.
