Description Meh... Just decided to throw something randomly here...
Or is it?

Not really, I've been doing extensive testing with hair movements and such as I promised that the final Pony Portal animation will be different from the other 6. This thing is up to be reviewed I suppose whether I already got that technique in the bag or if I still need to refine it Oh well, everything needs refinement as they said.

Chose this scene (part of the prologue) as I do not want to spoil any part of it. I will release some kind of teaser or similar to that in a short while; I'm only like 25 - 30% finished so far.

What do you say?

(By the way, after this I'll be utilising youtube more when first releasing any animations before DA follows a day or so; Don't want to trouble those without flash players)

And by the way, this thing will be going to scraps after I feel its purpose is achieved

Those who spot Twilight gets a cookie
Out of cookies guys Try visiting the darkside they got some freshly baked.

(oh, and for those who have silly ideas or such ( ), Bonbon just need a little momentum to launch herself through a portal made up high on the walls which is why she uses Lyra as a launch platform)

Oh hey, right at the end of the animation I see something poking out the window in the background for a nanosecond, looks like another portal gun ^.=.^

Animation is so smooth, I can hardly imagine how much effort you applied for this work.
All of your animations are awesome and next one will be even better?! You're pro.

Too bad they will only appear as background characters here; Twi and Rarity will be the one taking the spotlight

O_o Did their hands/hooves/idunno morph into portal guns

And Lyra(did I get it right?) looks weird when she falls into the portal for some reason....

Yudhaikeledai In reply to SomeDumbDeviant [2012-04-29 11:45:51 +0000 UTC]

They're just holding those portal guns; ain't morphed.
As for Lyra (bingo on that), I guess must be the "squashing and stretching" as well as her hair flying up that gives that funny looks

SomeDumbDeviant In reply to Yudhaikeledai [2012-04-29 11:47:38 +0000 UTC]

They looked like their hands are glued to the guns

Hm, maybe you should hake it a little less stretchy , make it look more wavy than stiff.

Yudhaikeledai In reply to SomeDumbDeviant [2012-04-29 11:51:33 +0000 UTC]

Glued? Well looks like a little pivoting of those guns might do the job here; thanks for the insight
And I'll see what I can do with that weird looks; gotta admit that myself did see that something is amiss on that last part.

Her hair grew longer where a swoosh animation should of probably been thrown in. Thisreally cool guy that looks into animations made a tutorial and has downloads for samples of that sort of thing. But personally I liked the hair part as she dove, I saw it as what can easily be fixed without really changing it by adding those trail lines in over it.

The part though that didn't make sense was how it just felt like Lyra's lower body was just rotated around till her backside was over the portal and then dropped, without the tail so much as flinching.
Basically you didn't animate her tail to flow with her jumping, a simple tucking of her tail a bit as she jumped into the portal would fix it up just fine I believe.

Telaros In reply to Telaros [2012-04-30 01:09:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh and also don't be afraid to animate the necks so they look forward over their chest, it's pretty commonly done in the show, and Lyra would probably benefit from some neck bending in the jump.

And the sound effects sound odd along with the portal sound...... is there a way to lower the volume down for the sound effects

Yudhaikeledai In reply to SomeDumbDeviant [2012-04-29 11:59:58 +0000 UTC]

On properties you'll see the edit option. Click on that, then you can play around with the amplitude of the sounds; simple ones such as lowering the volume to those such as the Doppler effect.

SomeDumbDeviant In reply to Yudhaikeledai [2012-04-29 12:04:46 +0000 UTC]

I saved this comment for reference . Maybe you can do that to those action sounds so that it won't sound as muddled up .
