Team 1848's Animation

Team 1848's animation can be seen here:

It is not the best, but it was made...

...by one person (me)...
...in 4 days (I did not start until Thursday Feb 9)...
...with software I had never used before (I had never used 3DS Max before Feb 9).

Re: Team 1848's Animation

Nice for such a short time. It's really amazing that you learned the progam and did the animation in four days. Good luck at the competitions.

Re: Team 1848's Animation

is there supposed to be no sound? Um....My team is also entering for the first time but we took a year over the summer learning the program cause we knew we only had one shot at the Rising Star award.

good job for only four days. when I was learning the program (no one was teaching me) in four days I only found out how to connect a ball to a cone making a ICE CREAM CONE!!!!! :D YAY!!!!!

Re: Team 1848's Animation

unfortunately, there is a 30-second limit on animations, and yours is 57 seconds. great job for a first-year though, keep up the good work!

Actually, if you read the rules, you will realize that the 30 seconds is only the animation. 30 seconds of animation plus a 5 second title slate, plus a second of padding on either side of the animation means a 30 second animation has to have a minimum of 37 seconds and credits can be as long as needed/wanted.

Yes, there is no sound.
I wanted to add some sound effects, but ran out of time.

Had you used other 3D software before?
This was my first time using MAX, but I have used other 3D software for 3 years.
Although the software I have used id very different from MAX :)

Yeah, like rowe said, the time limit is only for the actual animation.

Re: Team 1848's Animation

That was pretty good - nice work! I especially like the twirling FIRST logo in the credits.

Did that software happen to be Blender 3D?
Just a question
but yah! you and I were pretty much in the same boat. I'd used Blender 3D for about a year. (Not very good at it yet) three weeks ago I join a FIRST team, They make me the ONLY animator and I have to use a program I'd never used before. Yup! It's a hard life. But let me tell you. Props can save your neck.
