hmm
i belive you misunderstood my posts about lameness..
my complaint about the "lameness" of certain animations refers only to the storyline and concept behind the animation. not the technical execution. now a good story is somthing any team can create, regardless of skill level. i invite you to watch last years tape of all the animations. count how many were only the robot "doing" the competition. that i belive is unorigonal, and unless done with a comitment to technical perfection, is unnoteworthy. now you would be hard pressed to classify this as unconstructive. as for other reasons for "lameness", my personal prefrence is with animations that steer away from cliches. take that as you will
now what you consider bragging i consider sharing. im not showing off so much as displaying. i give anyone else the right to post test renders, ect, you get the idea. as for the grafics card, yeah, you could call it bragging, but you are overlooking the link i posted. i got serveral IMs from people on another forum i post on thanking me for the link, as they had been looking for a similar card. seeing as this particular card is very rare, i hardly think that shareing its location is bragging.
what else is this forum for?
i think this forum is for the creation of better animations though sharing.

That's what we are here for, to help each other out and show each other how to create a better animation.

you said it. why have i not seen other test renders or whatnot? i dont know. as far as i know, no one else has started. or you are keeping secrets, which is kind of foolish in my opinion. i want to see other renders, so i can see
A. what i am up against
B. how i can help other teams with animation
discoragment? yes, i want to discorage animations that will be cliched and overdone. exsuse my opinion, no one has to listen to it. i wish someone had taken me by my pants back the first year i did animation and told me that our story was a bad idea, because it was. i wish someone had done the same thing for me last year and told me that the animation didnt make as much sence to others as it did to us.
i got to my place in 3d alone. everything i know i learned though long nights at borders books, pouring though the manauls, though reading endless tutorials, ect. i want to make it easier for the noobz out there, hehe.
