Looks like Cell Shading!
Great work, there was some lag the first time it played on the heavily animated scenes (troopers kneeling down, Robo going akimbo on their asses). The second time I played it (rewind button) it got smoother with minimal bumps, nothing major, but noticeable. Also I cannot see Robo's barrel at the end, the screen goes black too soon.
Excellent work though I never even imagined that this kind of quality could be achieved in Flash.
Bravo.
omfg that was tight
that was awsome you should keep making more stuff like that. make a series or soemthing cuz that was really tight shit.. keep it up
Well, you've proved it
You've proved that most people on NG are very easily amazed by nice graphics but couldn't pick out the flaws if their life depended on it.
I give you props for the 3D rendering and models which is very nice. Cel shading, details, all there.
Since you say this movie is a test, you should be very open to suggestions on improving it, rather than just "THAT WAS THE BEST FLASH EVER!" Some of these have been mentioned before, but since I said your movie had many flaws, I better spell it out for you:
- Why did the police have such thick outlines compared to Robocop? Uniformity is key.
- What's with the nasty pixelation (very noticable in the beginning)? Try using a large image and shrinking, not the other way around.
- Your bloody was stylistic, but it didn't look it was coming from the police.
- I know he's robot, but man, Robocop sure moves slowly. I guess it's because none of the bullets even dented him, so he might as well walk over his enemies like a tank.
- This is the worst offense: The 3D models were terribly out fo sync with the background. Robocop slides all over the place when he slams that policeman into the ground, the police kneel down to the ground, the camera pans and pulls out, and the police slide around like they are kneeling on ice. You have to pay attention to that and make sure the models establish a good figure-ground relationship because it takes you right out of the movie.
I hope you take my advice seriously, if not to appease the picky NG viewers like me, but to better yourself as an animator. Sure, most of NG doesn't seem to notice or care that it's just a bunch of 3D poorly slapped onto 2d sketches, but if you take it to a non-amateur venue, you'll surely get the ass kicking your movie is asking for. I still liked the movie, I just thought you really put it together hastily.
Well Since you took the time to write such an indepth review an a flash you obviously didnt like.. I'll glady explain myself here..:
1) you are right.. this was slapped together..
2)The backgrounds are from an older flash..
3)the models for the guards was a simple base model I downloaded..
4)Even the Blood was from the first Robocop I created..
As for Robocop moving slowly.. thats a first,he moves rather fast on my computer..upgrade
I originally was just going to show robocop in his various moves and positions, but later decided to give him something to shoot at, and some sort of location..
But Like I Said.. THIS IS A TEST... this is not a movie, short, or release...
And I don't mind comments and complaints.. that what the test is for.. But you obviously feel the need to present yourself as a dick ,by insulting me and insulting the viewers, to make those points.. and that part isnt nessasary..
cool
that was ok. really cool looking and violence was good but he was killing the police because.............. this is where you come in.
Very well done...
Very, Very nicely done... i cant wait to see the whole thing when its done.. the filesize was a tad big.. but for that quality... it was worth the wait... the only time i saw a bit of lag was at the end when he shot the screen... he was halfway there and it made the shot noise and it went black then... other than that... no complaints from me... keep up the good work!
