So, the forums have seen a huge jump in animator traffic lately, and for animators, the best way to show your work is via quicktime movies. It lets you scrub through animations frame by frame. The forums for 11secondclub.com has it where if you post a public link to your .mov file in your dropbox, it will auto embed your…
I think if we could get an animation sticky in pimping and previews, that would be good. To explain to people how to upload your animations and stuff. Mark already made a thread like that. Just change the title to Animators guide to polycount, or something. But ya, I always add [Animation] to the start of my thread titles.…
cue the party pooper... I'm not so sure it needs to be segregated to another sub forum, just smartly worded the thread tiles, so people know it contains animation would probably be enough. "Spin Kick animation practice" or "Anim: Spin kick WIP" instead of "My Latest WIP Project". But that's mostly common sense with any…
Definitely agree that this would be great. I often think it puts people off when I post an animation wip and it appears as a text link. A slightly more ambitious request from me would be an animation sub forum to collate the animation related wip threads as well as stickies with links to essential reading or commonly…
another +1 for this idea! My gf is an animator and I know she'd be all over this! Currently her forums of choice I believe is the animator mentor public forums.
11secondclub.com, ya. I go there as well. That's where I got the idea for quicktime support. :) But, it's mostly film animation over there. Not games. The Game animation online community isnt very big, it seems. So Im trying to change that!
Yep I agree that would be awesome to have .mov embedded. Especially if the person is serious about having their animations critiqued, if they are just showing off I don't mind youtube or vimeo. Often the people who don't understand the value of scrubbing animation, use youtube and vimeo because they are super easy. Even if…
I'll +1 this too, because I'll probably be attempting beef up my animation skills within the year and would love to get some critiques here. Quicktime embedding would be great. An animation sub forum to funnel animation specific threads would be awesome.
