Another Drift Clip....

06 Oct 2006Hey guys, long time no see. Year 12 is a drainer.
Somehow, through my jungle of practice exam papers and question booklets, i've been working on this VE Commodore for quite some time now, it's not completely finished, but it's almost there.
I decided to try my shocking(ly crap) hand animating skills on this car, and also when it got to rendering I decided I didn't want to wait 5mins a frame +, so I opted for a toon shader. It ended up taking 4 hours to render the 22 second whole clip over two machines. dammit. Anyways, I realised that there's alot "wrong" with the clip, but that's for you guys to see and find. And I don't want to wait for it to render again.
When I properly finish the car I'll post some *real* renders up here. If *real* is what you call nice shiny reflections and ... GI!...
Click it. You know you want to. An there's (my) music to the clip as well! -

09 Oct 2006I second what was said already, and agree that it starts out pretty good, but trails off in the second half. I think you should rework your camera angle, and maybe do it from higher up and or edit it a bit to the sound you are using. I noticed a couple of intersections between the wheel and the body and there is a funky jerk when it gains traction again. Really cool though man. I animated an suv doing the same thing once, and found out that animating things like that by hand are hard actually. But keep pushing it, it looks great.

09 Oct 2006really cool! nice style, with the cel shader and all that!
i only have two crits, and one is purely opinion. the first is that weird jerky animation when it gains tractions and the camera stops being slow-motion. and when the bumper was really close to the camera during the drift, i thought it would've been so much cooler if the camera had slid under the car, maybe we'd see the driveshaft spinning in slow-mo, etc.
nice work though!
