Zombie 3 is out, and it has story xD

There are 3 strong holds left in the world, all located in america. The white house, the Walmart headquarters (seen in beginning) and a large military instilation located in alaska (the over head view, but only a tenth of it) One of them fell in the early hours of the day. Walmart had falled at the hands at one of the zombie leaders. Luckily he was captured, but then escaped from alaska. Our hero, the Resistance Leader (whose name is not known yet) was checking out a supposed hotspot in england when the escape showed up. He was prepared for a fight as he assumed if it was a hotspot, zombies would come. So join us and watch these event unfold in Zombie 3!

(btw awesome animations guys xD)

And yes I know its a bit messed up. Im adressing the problem as we speak for number 4. The gif uploading did it cause the .piv is perfect.

He usually never pivots, so hes a complete noob to it. I really tried to talk him out of it, but he wanted to continue and wouldn't hear no to it. :P So I went kinda easy on him
And to Hijack, of course I'll tell everybody who he is, and no, we don't post from the same account. He just likes to watch the videos here, not too much of a forum kid.

I just picked alaska because that was a huge military staging area during the Cold War. And still is today I think.
And now you know!

And knowing is half the battle.

teehee. that was quick. i also felt relieved for a second, because i thought he had stolen flippy. pink flippy would be horrible! btw, who wants to start a giant pivot war? i think it would be cool, fighting more than one person at a time. i also need to improve my skills, so i think this would be the perfect opportunity.

And, Reno, loved the ani. smoother than the last ones, and i like the fact that you expanded to some other forms of pivoting, like the bird's eye view. (Plus, you should see 28 weeks later. much better!)

A couple of things. One, Pivot war as in like you do an ani and I do one and the best is winner, or like You animate fighting me, stop at a cliff hanger, then I animate from that point on, again stopping at a cliff hanger ending, let the people vote on who should die, and the person voted to die, the opponent animates the death?
And another thing, it runs smooth for you? For me it runs quick then chops up. Must be my computer. I have seen 28 weeks later and expect 28 year later to come out xD But 28 days was the best so far. Glad you liked it though. I do have a couple of questions for ya.

1: How do I do muzzle flashes for machine gun type guns? I left it muzzle flashes out of this one because it wouldnt look right for the pistol to have one and not the chain gun.
2: Did I do the black out strike right? Im refering to the castle scene.
3: The charge sequence, did I get that right at least? The gun that shoots the purple homing thing.
4: Is it clear that the leaders of the zombies are diffrent? One was gold the other light blue. Is that clear enough because I really dont want to be hunting for demon sticks all the time xD
5: How hard do you think it will be to animate like 30-100 sticks on the same screen for the brief period of a few seconds?

Thanks for the help and thanks for the comments.

Id say its the file size, if it's too large you either have to
1. Scale down your image try to keep it under (250, by 250) dimensions , or
2. Break the ani too two seperate gifs

it did that for me when i was making the preview farshot ani, so i had to break it into two parts.


1: How do I do muzzle flashes for machine gun type guns? I left it muzzle flashes out of this one because it wouldnt look right for the pistol to have one and not the chain gun.

a muzzle flash is quick so ir really could be done in exactly one frame, to get the effect you want, if you use two frames, have the first initial flame come out white or close to white and fairly small, the next frame make the flame slightly larger with a little bit more orange tint, but dont make it two dark. Also I wouldn't go past making the muzzle flash go more than 3 frames.

As for the design of it, google probably had great examples

2: Did I do the black out strike right? Im refering to the castle scene.

the black out was at the right speed the the number of yellow streaks to show movement during the black out is probably one too many

3: The charge sequence, did I get that right at least? The gun that shoots the purple homing thing.

the black lines are strange, i say use a combination of thinner birght and dark blue zigzags (don't have it zig zag too much) And make them a little more random. The frame rate goes so slow it doesn't look too well, so a fast frame rate would make the charge look a little better.

4: Is it clear that the leaders of the zombies are diffrent? One was gold the other light blue. Is that clear enough because I really dont want to be hunting for demon sticks all the time xD

clear :)

5: How hard do you think it will be to animate like 30-100 sticks on the same screen for the brief period of a few seconds?

pretty fucking difficult, cause you'd end up not focusing on the detail of movement and it'd look sloppy. Unless you pre made all the motions needed for the character that needed to be coppied. Then copy them onto the ani that way, in different segments of the movement. Hard to explain, i can show you what i mean if you want.


Thanks for the help and thanks for the comments.

dont have to take the advice if you want, i could be wrong, but i hope it helps.
