Topic: OYO minifigure tests

Here is a short video of some tests using the OYO minifigure.
Constructive criticism and advice are very welcome. (This was my first time trying to animate it, so it came out a little rough, sorry about that. mini/eh )

Thanks! But what do you mean by "Interesting"? mini/shifty


Does anyone else have an opinion on it?
I'd like to know if I need to work on some perticular aspect of the animation before I begin filming on the video.

Re: OYO minifigure tests

Very nice! I'm going to try animating mine soon too. mini/bigsmile

Re: OYO minifigure tests

Sorry, I'll go more in-depth. The movements were attention grabbing (especially with the figures knees), it needs a tad more smoothness work on it, but it was enjoyable just to watch this test. mini/wink
I know these figures are a challenge to animate and I hope you make a great film with 'em. mini/smile

1011Ev, Thanks, I'll try to work on the smoothness then. mini/wink

Re: OYO minifigure tests

It was good, but I think you should take advantage of the elbows, as I didn't see much movement from them.

I also think you can ease in and out a little bit more, to make the movements a little smoother.

Re: OYO minifigure tests

Well, the elbows don't bend, they just twist, (As you can see here) so I did about as much as I could have.
But I'll keep that in mind for future tests. mini/wink


On a somewhat unrelated note, I found the OYO hats and legs can go on Lego minifigures, and Lego heads and legs can go on OYOs, (And some Lego hats, but OYOs have much shorter foreheads, so most don't look right.) and obviously the accessories can go back and forth, but other than that, the parts aren't interchangeable.
