Re: Lightsaber tests.

Very nice!
I thought the dueling was really well done. mini/bigsmile

Re: Lightsaber tests.

That was a very well done test, MadBrick. The animation was very realistic (Actually, it reminded me of the more recent things we've animated), and the zooms were great too. Although, I would've added a flip here or there to the test, but it was still pretty good.

Re: Lightsaber tests.

Very impressive.

Add some speed between moves and you'll have yourself a pretty much perfect looking duel.

Re: Lightsaber tests.

It's a little too smooth and quite slow.

Re: Lightsaber tests.

I don't think it's slow. It's fine. Now, you should try a swordfight, to see how well can you improvise mooves and set the timing (doesn't have to be long, 10 seconds would be fine).

Re: Lightsaber tests.

Thanks for all your positive feedback.  It hasn't even been live an entire day and this video already has over 110 views and 3 honors. mini/bigsmile

Thanks to all who commented and liked this.  Much animation to come!

Re: Lightsaber tests.

That was pretty mad.

Re: Lightsaber tests.

Good job, dude. I'm glad this isn't about the effects and I can actually comment on the animation.

First of all, I really like the ignitions. That is some solid work right there. The animation is quite fluid in terms of their swinging (nice work on the spin right before the brown-orange drone), but I would suggest you rotated the saber a bit more. There are times where it seems a little stiff, because it's pointing upwards.

But you've got me interested. I like your style.
