Great! isn't that a wonderfull promo for Apollo or not! It's shows that you can make some beautifull work with the simplest settings. If I'm right he did the whole animation just in preview mode, and I'm loving it.
Thank you for noticing.

Apollo's toes and foot flexibility, his Line-of-Sight capabilities, and his expressions, all not conveyed here. Nevermind, very good video nevertheless.

I like the simplicity of it. He used the toon mat I included (No textures). And yeah just some depth cueing and such. But it all made for a cool effect.
I like the way he planned it out. It doesn't come across as random. I like the camera pans, bobs, and subtle touches. The nice music track adds a lot too. But I thought it great.

Very nice indeed! You aught to have that linked to your main Apollo page Anton! I know you can embed video links from YouTube in web sites these days. Would be cool!! :D

That's a pretty amazing demonstration, and yeah he did it in preview mode all the way through (I like the way the infinite light symbol plays across him when it moves).
Thanks for the heads up.

That was very cool :) The first thing I thought of when I watched it the first time was "Wow, that's kind of reminiscent of the morphing from 'Black and White'." But, actually...IMHO, it's much cooler, because it's much more fluid. :)
