Autodesk has posted all AVA Entries on FIRSTbase

[BuddyB309]

can anyone answer this question. In the original rules that they came out with this year they said that at nationals they will have judges pick five animations that they thought were good then have every team vote on one of the five.
Are the professional judges at Atlanta still going to look through every AVA entry or are they now only going to look at the reigional winners?

The judges will pick the top 5 from the entire group of submissions. So you can still be picked even if you don't win a Regional AVA.

After the top 5 are selected (approx. 2 weeks before the Championship in Atlanta) voting wil be open. ALL FIRST Robotics students can vote, but they must be registered on FIRSTbase. Then the winner is announced in Atlanta!

I'm really excited about our animation. Our competition is next weekend, so we will see how that will turn out. Has anyone seen our animation? I'm curious on feedback if anyone liked it.

Did GI and bump reflections oO
It took some time to render I think =p
You should get a 35 technical =)

By far one of the best animations I viewed...Congratulations , that was a good job =)
If you get top 5 i will vote for you surely ^^

Hey, thanks. Its nice to see what other people have to think about our animation. It took us about a week to model everything, then 72 hours to render. It was FUN!!!! GI and lots of other fun stuff... To bad were seniors though, its kinda hard to pass this stuff onto people when we had to teach ourselves the software. We have had no direction in the past. well, thanks for the compliment. I saw a few other ones but haven't had a chance to look at alot of animations. I cant wait to see our competition.

The number is the height of the team's description as rendered by the user's browser. It's probably debug code left over because somebody at Autodesk forgot to take it out.

@Drew

Are those greebled buildings at the beginning of your animation?

Greeble is a favorite plugin of mine, although it starts to get old after a while.

I guess I misread the above. I hadn't realized that when you clicked on the team number it would take you to the storyboard. I thought that was what he had meant.

Interesting... Knowing a bit about database, I'd say thats an id number. It's not the number of the team, could it possibly be the order we submitted our forms?
