I had the
worst time with instancing the toys...
Max is no fun when it comes to that - there's too many things that have to be manually fixed to be feasible to make, say, hundreds. Let's say it was a small batch, eh?

I feel for the most part the modeling is good. Yet if you were going for the feeling of a real Assembly line you missed it. This seems more as a story of 6 or 7 toys. Also like buddy said give it some lighting. By the right lighting you can illuminated mostly the line and cut out the need for most background items. (If that is what your looking for)

I'm not really sure what kind of lighting to go for - does anybody have a reference pic or something? That would be great for me, even if it means I have to re-render almost 2,000 frames. Wait, I could just batch photoshop them and play with levels, hue, etc. Please, somebody find me a picture of what they're thinking of.

Injection molds have a cone shaped hole in the top
at least all the ones I have seen do

I put a cylindrical hole in it, but it's tiny and doesn't even show up sometimes. I'll see about a cone-shaped one.

You can add sound in video post? We had to add ours in curve editor, then again we didn't look beyond the basics of video post..
|
I don't know. I can't use curve editor, because for some odd reason PNG images don't support sound... I blame Microsoft.

some of the edges were really sharp, and could use some champhering, but otherwise pretty good. textures on the machines are also pretty grey. needs shineys.

I'll look into better texs and some reflection maps. NO raytracing for me. I don't wanna melt my processor

I cant wait for episode two: "Over the edge"

I made it, but there was a little weirdness for the transition between animation and reactor simulation. I'll try to smooth it out a little.

I am very interested to know or not if he plans to do a packing stage.

Not in the plans as of now. I do have a scene with boxes and boxes of them on a shelf:
but there's not even lights yet.
