Description READ FIRST: THIS ANIMATION WAS MADE USING MACROMEDIA FLASH

THE MUSIC WAS DONE IN FRUITYLOOPS

THANK YOU.


Just to show you all that I AM working on Dendyn Futures.

Firstly, I'd like to make it known that Dendyn Futures runs at 30fps, unlike Dendyn Dynasties which ran at 25. However, since it's going to be a bit longer than Dynasties, most of the fbf is only going to be animated on every second frame, an anime standard. This means less frames I have to colour and therefore less time taken, and the smoothness still takes only a minimal hit. Maybe after it's on its way to completion, I will go back and fill out some of the blank frames.

The characters are actually a lot harder to draw than in Dynasties, since I'm not omitting any details this time, especially on the Mechs.

You also get to hear a bit of the Dendyn Futures theme, although I won't be allowing that for download until I've done sufficiently more on this animation.

So yeah, this part is mostly showcasing Cyrus and his quicktoe ability as well as the Vulpine Star Mech. I never really got around to animating Rygel's quicktoe on the last Dendyn animation, so Cyrus fills that up nicely here.

Not much of it is coloured yet, sorry about that. It's the most tedious job of the animation process, lol. XB

The Dendyn series and all related material is (c) Ryanide. Do not distribute or use without my permission.

The animation style is inspired from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann this time. It's really given me a great idea on how to do impact and recoil motions.

I like how the music is a more actiony version of the one from Dynasties.

How long have you been doing animations anyway?

Ryanide In reply to little-penguin [2007-09-02 02:22:19 +0000 UTC]

Since the start of high school.

And yeah, the music runs at my beloved 183bpm, as opposed to Dynasties, which went at 170bpm.

Dude, you seem to breathe talent, I just now learned how to convert music files so I've got a long road ahead of me. Keep up the good work with the animations

Sweet golly gee, that's some fine quality animation there, Ryanide! I particularly enjoy the structure and texture of the buildings, and the spraying of the littl'uns with bullets.

Thank you! I plan to put more work into the background because I really need practise drawing detailed city scenes.

Wow..... I'm dying to see this finished. <3
I like how it's smoother, i'm guessing that's what switching to 30 fps does. 8D

I'm lovein the tune too.
awesome job! <3333

This actually animates slower than Dynasties, since I only animate on every second frame.

really? *complete shock* D8 I thought I had it all figured out. dang.
still looks awesome either way. XD

oh, and do you use action script?

Ryanide In reply to ColonelCheru [2007-09-02 02:29:21 +0000 UTC]

I use a scripted "camera" and basic script for navigation, but I can't see any use for it in my animations otherwise.

a scripted camera? What's that might i ask?

Ryanide In reply to ColonelCheru [2007-09-02 02:39:20 +0000 UTC]

It's a little movie clip that behaves like a camera. You can tween it to make it zoom in and out or move around. It's very handy. Google "flash virtual camera"

MythTrainerInfinity In reply to Ryanide [2007-09-02 02:27:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I'm actually chain breeding for one right now. I'm going to be abusing:

Lopunny@Lagging Tail
Adamant
Trait: Klutz
EVs:252 Atk/232 or 236 Spd/Rest into HP
Retun/Thunderpunch
Switcheroo
Ice Punch
Healing Wish

Ryanide In reply to MythTrainerInfinity [2007-09-02 02:36:06 +0000 UTC]

*cackle* gotta love klutzbunny. Although I'd replace thunderpunch with thunder wave since even with a super effective hit they do very little damage. Ice punch is just there to revenge-ko Garchomp really.

I also find choice band is a better item than lagging tail. It screws over anything that doesn't just attack.

MythTrainerInfinity In reply to Ryanide [2007-09-02 02:39:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but I'm thinking much of the time someone is going to send something in to kill it and CB might actually what is sent in.

Wow, I never knew it learned Thunderwave...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ryanide In reply to MythTrainerInfinity [2007-09-02 02:44:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it learns it by TM.

But anything that's not designed for a choice band/specs/scarf isn't going to enjoy being only able to use one move. It'll stop things like sword dancers and baton passers in their tracks. (choice specs is best, I think.)

Mine is this:

Lopunny@focus sash
jolly
cute charm

baton pass
heal wish
agility
ice punch.

MythTrainerInfinity In reply to Ryanide [2007-09-02 02:55:01 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm Lopunny's frail, but its not too frail... Without EVs in Def/SDef it could take an EQ from Garchomp. It might not need Focus Sash... Looks interesting though, however, whatever it passes to might get smacked by something. How would it fare in usage against say something like Jolteon or Zapdos?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ryanide In reply to MythTrainerInfinity [2007-09-02 02:58:51 +0000 UTC]

Mine survives strong hits all the time, especially from special attackers.

Zapdos and Jolteon can't use heal wish, and without HP ice, they can't hurt a Garchomp.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MythTrainerInfinity In reply to Ryanide [2007-09-02 03:05:37 +0000 UTC]

But they could use that slot for Sub if they lack HP Ice. Garchomp will not come in on a Zapdos often from what I've seen on Shoddy.

There was someone who figured out how to chain breed for Hidden Powers on Smogon... I was like ._______.

Ryanide In reply to MythTrainerInfinity [2007-09-02 03:17:01 +0000 UTC]

I find that more often than not, healing wish is worth it to bring back things on low health...like Blissey for instance.

SordxMaelstrom In reply to ??? [2007-09-02 02:04:41 +0000 UTC]

Amazing. It's times like these that I remember why, exactly, I watch you.

Is it supposed to follow the music when the guy goes white and the baddies are all lined up side to side? You know, duh-duh-duh-duh and it zooms out accordingly. I'm no good with words. And that scene reminds me of this bit in the intro of TTGL.

Ryanide In reply to SordxMaelstrom [2007-09-02 02:06:16 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that part was mean to be synced. TTGL isn't the only anime that uses that rather cheap technique. It's pretty common actually. XD

SordxMaelstrom In reply to Ryanide [2007-09-02 02:08:58 +0000 UTC]

Hm, I don't watch a lot of animes so that's new info for me.

Well, here's hoping that the finished product is going to be sweet and awesome and not like the Transformers action scenes. Admittedly they were cool but you couldn't make out what was going on.

Ryanide In reply to SordxMaelstrom [2007-09-02 02:17:43 +0000 UTC]

I've never really watched Transformers, but I think I know what to look out for.

Do you mean the movie or the cartoon?

SordxMaelstrom In reply to Ryanide [2007-09-02 02:41:44 +0000 UTC]

The movie. I've only seen bits and pieces of the cartoon, and even then, it wasn't the "original."

I'm a bit worried for your other projects. You just keep piling them on. Well, more to look forward to, I suppose.

not just awesome, freaking OWN and WIN. O3O
this is some WIP. I love the music, and those impact moments definetly grab my attention. Cyrus's quicktoe turned out good, in my opinion. Especially climbing up his mech.

If I could give one suggestion... about the first part where you show the little transition from Dynasties' world to Future's world, I think you should put Rygel in on the Dynasty side.. even if he's at a faded opacity r something like that.. Just so that when Cyrus is shown, it doesn't feel unbalanced. And you get that vague feel of connection between the two serieses.

Then between the two segments you can make it obvious that the time jump was made... I'm thinking speedlines or something to that effect.

I could keep on watching this for a while and not be bored! It's really that fun. XD

Equals-N-LessThan In reply to Equals-N-LessThan [2007-09-02 02:05:08 +0000 UTC]

oh,
besides the speedlines on the transition, you could also do something like a number increasing, symbolizing all the years passing by, or something like that. XD

Ryanide In reply to Equals-N-LessThan [2007-09-02 02:04:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was thinking of showing fades of the original protagonists during that time. I'll do it for the final for sure.
