Description
Books are fun! ...for emotes. xDMy entry for =SparklyDest 's June EMTC !
My greatest challenge here was pixelling the BOOK.
That took me almost 3-4 hours. Especially for that curl in the pages,
I had to model the real thing and pixel them. xD
Besides that, the shadows are a bit tricky as well.
Though I think I managed to get it right;...right? (except for the book's shadow)
Time : about 4-5 hours; for a span of 5 days.
Frames : 23.
Frame Rate : .06s (my previous emotes are never .06 .___.)
If you have any inputs or criticisms, comments, or just plain questions,
feel free to do so! It would be very appreciated
EDIT2: Fixed the bounce; again.
EDIT1: Modified the height to be higher; more space to bounce. Added frames in some parts. -Hopefully- fixed the bounce so it will look more 'natural'. Suggested by ~IcedTeaa and *hejthenerd .
Thank you for viewing!

GREAT EMOTE.
The book is amazingly well pixeled. I love it. Nice shadows, and I love the way it moves when the emotes come down on it. The expressions are done perfectly, and the shading and transitions and twirls are so epic
Three suggestions though- Don't go under 70 ms. Other browsers besides firefox can't handle it, and slow it down to their default which usually is 100ms
When they reach the peak of their height, instead of automatically flying back down, slow down. As it's moving up, make it move a few lesser pixels, then a few less, and a few less, until it's stopped, and then do the opposite coming down.
When they hit the book coming down, the corner pops up. This looks very weird
I would consider just toning the pop a little down.
But other than that, it looks fabulous.

THANK YOU!
I'm really glad you love it and I appreciate your loong comment full of feedback; I love them xDD
First off, I think all browser can tolerate 60 ms ..right? Except for a really old version of Opera. This is based on this article [link]
Second, yes, I'm currently working on perfecting the bounce Though now it's not looking that good; but I'll try to fix it :3
And third, you mean the page curl thing? I purposely made those so the landing effect will be more... grand (?) [is that the proper word for it?] The emote sunk in the book when it landed and thus the pressure there will effect on the pages (it sunk down) and will result in those popping corner Failed physics That's the purpose I made those.
I hope you understand what I just replied here, my language is kinda messy D:
Again, thanks so much for the inputs!

overall, it looks really good! your emotes are always shaded so bright and well and happy ^^ and the bounce shadows and book are really great too i think there are somethings that you improve, for instance possibly one more frame in the book curling, because it looks too stiff (is that the word?) also, the jumping looks a bit awkward because from physics, we kind of speed up when we reach the top or something (or the other way around?). i've seen a very good tutorial on jumping and the number of pixels you go up by each time, but i can't remember which one/where it is
so maybe just experiment with it falling down faster (:
i'm no expert or whatever, but i hope this helps 8D

Thank youu so much for your inputs!
I love to hear reviews like yours, :3 And yeah, I noticed something's really wrong with the green one; he's not jumping according to science Oh and I think the jump gets slower when we reach the top, and faster when reaching down.
Yess, I'm gonna fix those real soon.
For the page curling thing I guess I should put another frame there.. it looks kinda slow there.
Thanks again!

I fixed the problems now; do you think it's better? or worst?

IcedTeaa In reply to caranette [2010-06-20 11:55:10 +0000 UTC]
it looks much smoother, but to be honest, a little worse because i think the speed should be the other way around. as you said before i think, fast as they come down and bounce up, and slower in the air.

caranette In reply to IcedTeaa [2010-06-20 14:17:32 +0000 UTC]
If I may ask, which one has gotten worse? :3
Hmm, yeah, I tried to make it slower after it reached the top for the green one, but strangely it's not working too well. :/
Thank you so much though, your feedback means a lot to me

IcedTeaa In reply to caranette [2010-06-21 09:05:33 +0000 UTC]
Did you fix it again? Because it looks much better now
I still think that maybe when both emotes go down, they could be a tiny bit faster. If you're at the speed limit, then maybe skip a few frames [ or like move 1/2 more pixels down] towards going down
Does that make sense?
You're very welcome :3
