I was one of the people debating the winning animation a while back on this board. I didn't start the thread, but i
wrote in it. And I was one of the people that didn't think it was realistic. Let me say: I loved your models - I loved
the rendering and the lighting. I think your animation looked fantastic. I didn't think it was realistic because of
the moves it was doing (flipping and jumping)... In this respect, isn't your animation incorrectly demonstrating
the functions of your robot?
I'm not bitter about losing the animation competition at all. In fact, I don't think our animation should have won
- not at all. There were animations far better than ours. The models, rendering overall look of the winning
animation far outdid ours. But just because you're rookies doesn't mean you need any engineer help. GRT won
the animation competition two years ago with only three students that hadn't touched any 3D software until that
year.
Anyways, yeah, nobody can do anything to change the final judgement. I'm sorry if I sounded mean. I didn't
mean to bad mouth you guys, your hard work, or anyone on your team. Your animation was was awesome! It's
just my opinion that the winner should have be more realistic.
