Kix -- Yeah, you're right. Cartoons (particularly American churn-em-out Saturday-morning type cartoons) are mostly drawn "on the twos." Some cartoons are also drawn "on the threes," or one new frame for every three frames of video (or 10 frames per second). (The 29.97 stuff is pretty complicated and not terribly relavent until you get into producing material for broadcast.) Some Anime is produced "on the fours." It's not entirely a cost-cutting measure, but rather can impart an interesting stylistic and almsot subconscious expectation about what you're seeing. I do agree that animating 3D ships ("Futurama" was the name of the Matt Groening cartoon, by the way) at the same frame rate as the rest of a show would make the images less jarring, but there's still the nature of 3D versus flat 2D cell animation. They'll never quite look the same. Think about Beauty and the Beast in the clock, or Titan AE throughout -- the integration of 2D and 3D is really tough. I'm loving your nostalgic vehicles, by the way. Great modeling and cool rendering. - Dex
