Quote - Very impressive and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your vision :)
Thanks! The goal was that it be fun and enjoyable for kids - and adults. I was trying to create a cartoon for kids that parents could sit through and not be bored to tears.
Quote - I was thoroughly impressed. You have set a bench mark for what I am aiming for. Of course, I have a looooong way to get where you are. I still have to learn so much. But now I see that it is possible with the right time and direction to make a viewable rendered movie. My hat is off to you, and I look forward to seeing more, if the muse grabs you.
Thank You! It is my belief that ANYONE can do what I've done. I do not consider myself an animator. I was just doing primarily archviz stills with the occasional fly-through. Nearly everything in this short was learned within three years. I came up with the idea at Thansgiving '07, wrote the script (actually wrote and rewrote) early in '08 and started acquiring assets during the summer of '08 and altering them Chris Orwell - Chrislenn from here at Renderosity - created the characters during the Spring of '08. I spent about a year working on creating the sets and control panels and character rigs.
I believe that anyone can do what I did - the most important ingredients are Persistence and Determination!
