I said I wasnt comming back here because I was sick of all the bickering. But then I kept getting email notifications on this thread so i figured I'd check it out and see what you were all up to.

As I said before its wrong of anyone who bashes team 967 or any other team. But that also goes for team 967. Face it- if you read the rules its not too confusing. I spelled it out in the very begining of this thread. I see others have done it more recently. Just because team 967 won doesnt give you the right to insult our intelegence by trying to justify the results. So please stop. Any other team that bashes another - please stop. Its not what this whole thing is about. I've been trying to keep quiet untill I can see the animation again- yet autodesk hasnt posted it yet and team 967 has ignored my several offers (including a PM) to host it on one of my web servers. I am actious to be able to see it again and see what me and the other 10,000 people missed when they played it in Houston.

As I stated before- there are ways to incorporate the video and ways that dont look too good. I work in the Graphic Design/Video Production Industry and there are many many many people who are considered professionals that just cant design to save their life. Thats what keeps people like me in business. We help all thos others look good. So the fact that "Professionals" judged these animations doesnt mean all that much to me. I was told that most of them were Engineers (not video pros). One comment I told to autodesk- and on other threads here- if professionals are so iffy in their abilities how could we expect students to do justice for the judging. As I also mentioned before- For anyone that was in the same conference as 967- you must have given them enough votes to get to the championships- so dont all you guys point and complain about autodesk. Dont forget that they donate a ton of product and resources to the participating teams. DONT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU! My father isnt perfect either- you dont see me attacking him!!! Well I guess I'm not either- but theres still time!, But I digress...

Just get working on your skills. This entire exercise is not to win an award- Though I've had my own sights on it too. Its about getting you interested and giving you the resources to aquire these skills to decide if this is somthing you want to do for the rest of your life. I started doing 3D (exclusivly) almost 9yrs ago now I have my own business and produce Videos, CDRoms, 2D & 3D Animations, Web Content and a ton of other stuff- This is only the beginning. Just keep at it.

BTW- Architectual "VISUALIZATIONS" are 3d Computer Renderings- They don't call drawings or paintinfs or videos- VISUALIZATIONS- so please don't be misguided by thinking this could be anything. And dont take that out of context- it says AUTODESK VISUALIZATION - that implies using Autodesk products and if that wasnt clear enough- they mention that too!

Please dont complain about the time. Its more time than I get for 99% of the projects I work on in the working world. I've turned bigger projects around in 5-6 days. You had 6 weeks. Plus a month with the software (if you were a new team) and more if you had 3DS in the past.

Good luck to all in the off season and lets get on with it!
Like I have said in here to, what's done is done, lets look to the future and appreciate what we have, and try to build on what we have learned.

If you want something changed for next year, post it in the proper thread that is titled "what do you want to change next year" I will show it to Ted and he'll do what he can, as I am sure other people like stevek is as an adult and a person who has many more contacts that what we do as students.

Appreciate what you do have, learn from the mistakes in the past, and use your imagination to help you accomplish the future.

Sorry for pissing you off, but I want say one more thing.

I'm not trying to bash 967 or morning that this year is not fair. In fact I'm trying to say that 967 has their strength and we should all learn from them. I'm sorry if I confuse you too much. I feel sorry for 967 to have people bashing them. I also respect them as winner of this year. But I'm just mad because Autodesk took away the prizes that others deserve. (It is very good to point out that the competition is not for winning)

By the way, I'm just a student and I don't have too much experience in using the program. I certainly feel lack of time because I'm not a professional animator. I enjoy working on the project and I'm pleased to have Autodesk giving us the chance.

After all, the season is over. It's good know how to improve. THat's why I post a thread for people to give comments on our animation.

I'm going to stop talking now, to prevent me from going off topic.

bye
Brian
