This is the first time I’ve looked at the forums in weeks and I can only say, WOW. Great Job to Excelsior12 and the other animators, the renders look great. My team has had problems with MAX and inventor problems so we are not sure if we will finish or not. WOW again. Did you use the camera match for the animation or did you use a plug in? The models and textures look great. The only thing that I could notice that you could change is the shadows (the real video has sharp shadows while the robots have blurred ones). Do the robots talk in the animation? Great job again.
Why thanks Dan Hill. We did use camera match for the pictures and they seemed to turn out great in just about every shot except for the one we had to go in manually and reposition to match our objects. The shadows were originally raytraced but that proved to be a huge problem with our pcs who couldn’t even render the first frame so we had to go in and change them to standard. The robots do indeed talk and it looks quite nice.
Hopefully by tommorow I will have a DivX version up for you guys so stay tuned, in the meantime please critique the screenshots. 44 times downloaded is a lot for just one reply.
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I’M BAAAACCCKKK!!!

Sunny…
You of all people should have realized that there’s an easier, faster way to produce solid sharp shadows than raytrace… wouldn’t have slowed you guys down hardly at all either… you’re getting rusty in your old age…

Actually it was one of those “Oh freaking crap. It’s 6 AM in the morning again!! Screw it, render as is.” things. And wait… my old age??? I’m two years younger than you, sure I look older but that doesn’t take away from the fact.
yeah it’s off topic… sorry guys… but for anyone who hasn’t met sunny, he’s been able to buy alcohol since he was 12…

Wow, this post just took a turn for the worst.
He may have been able to buy alcohol since he was 12, but he’s been doing hash since he was 10!

It should be up online in the next 15 minutes. I have slow upload speed (10K) so it takes me some time but stay tuned, it is uploading right now. And my team really does have some issues, after you see the gila dance you will understand.
lol, okay i’ll look forward to that dance, anywho i’ll stay around just to see your animation, and anyways i have a slow download speed as well so it will take a while for teams 188 animation to be completed, so i’ll be here…
Alright here we go. Here is the DivX version of the first (Primero, Numero Uno, Not The Second) animation. Later on the second animation will be uploaded.

I should be uploading the animation to the main Gila Monsters website as soon as THE WEBMASTER GIVES ME THE LOGON INFORMATION. Wait a day or two for it.
Ok, the first one was nice… where’s number 2 at?
