Hi, just ran across this club, I'm also a 3D animator and would love to join. I'm a bit new to it, only been doing this for about two months, but its an awful lot of fun!

Hello everyone. I'm not trying to spam you guys with solicitations, but I thought someone here might be interested in working on a 3d computer game. I'm doing fine with the programming but, I'm still a new to 3d animation, and if I split my focus much now I'll never get this game finished. There's a bit more about the game here [link]
~3dAnimationgroup:icon3dAnimationgroup: Jun 13, 2007, 7:08:04 AM
Sorry I got a little caught up on school stuff lately. So I haven't had the time to keep the site up to date.

I will update everything today and post the new concept :-) Looking forward to seeing some stuff from you on this next one.

The ball is finally on youtube. Should I just send you the direct link in a note, or do I have to create a DA submission that links to it, and link you to that?

DA supports that option but I would not recommend it

Depending on your files size I would upload it to 4shared.com and send me a link to download your animation file. It sshould be .mov format

Sure (I also found a way to crop it to a more suitable size).

Does DA support the option to upload the .mov or do I have to find a different host and link to it?
~3dAnimationgroup:icon3dAnimationgroup: Feb 16, 2007, 12:59:01 PM
Cyrid,

Thank you for your input on the subject I really appreciate it. I will make a lil forum right now and post a link to it on the front page.

Also send me a link to your animation its ok if its 385x514 :-) No worries

Actually, I think if there were a better place to communicate then I might be more encouraged to keep checking and posting. It would make the 3danimationgroup feel more like a group than someone else's account.


I'm stuck between focusing or modeling and focusing on animation for my reel, but lately I've been leaning towards the latter so I do have some things in the way. I did animate a bouncing ball for the last assignment that is currently being rendered, though I'm wondering if it falls in the guide lines as it has a ratio of 0.749 (385x514).
~3dAnimationgroup:icon3dAnimationgroup: Feb 15, 2007, 10:03:18 AM
Terraist,

If you want I can make a forum for all of the members to communicate through but Im not sure if it is needed right now. We have a lot of members but not a lot of participation due to time constraints and other situations. I think that once this group starts to pick up a better pace then I'll make one.
