Time limit for animation????

[richalex2010]

You need a slate for five seconds before, and one second of black, then the 30 second animation. That is the part that must be 30 seconds. After that, there must be one second of black, then as long as you like for credits. The only part that is actually scored is the animation.

Just remember that if you are going to do some elaborate 5 minute long credit sequence be aware that they may not judge the credits but the credits will add to the size of the file which is 250 MB.
We don't put credits on the version we upload to Autodesk just to play it safe.

Do you signify the end of your animation with another 5 seconds of black? Or do they figure the credits are the end?

The one second of black is supposed to signify the end.

You need a full second of black at the end.

The full second of black at the end doesn't count in the 30 seconds of time allotted for the animation. The ONLY part of your animation compilation is the black before, and after, the credits and the slate. Otherwise, you have 30 seconds to do with whatever your little hearts decide.

And trust me... 3 years of experience, that 30 seconds can seem like a lifetime or a millisecond throughout the animation process.

I grew to dislike 3ds max, even though I loved it at the same time.
