for a teaser thats great
but if you actually would have animated a epic battle....
this short would have lived in the NG history books.
really, its well done.. it could have been amazing.
(still can be :O )
Reviews for "BOOM BOTS"
Really good 3-D
It was a great teaser, but i think the fight should have been continued it would've made a really good movie.
Please read, animator's perspective
It kinda breaks my hear now when I have to review CG pieces objectively, because ever since I started my animation studies in the fall I have learned how intensely hard it is to model, animate, texture, and light a computer animation. I have also become convinced that technical skill in animating is probably more important in CG than in flash. Well, I'll start with the basics.
The characters are well designed and rigged to move, and we definitely get a sense of weight here. The camera animation is pretty good, but it feels like we don't get a totally neat pullout at the end, at which point the composition of the face-off is critical.
I do commend the painstakingly made set pieces, only wishing that they were more interestingly textured and lit. I do not think that the stylized "Tankmen" look of abandoned buildings was translated flatteringly into CG.
The trouble with CG is that for the same amount of work as in flash you get a shorter film, so to create a "teaser" you need to generate a lot of interest with an extremely truncated piece--at least compared to what NewGrounds users are used to. With regards to character animation, this is also clearly not what to an animator of thelonelyduck's advancement would be a polished work. Altogether, it would take even more excruciating work to prepare CG for newgrounds big-time.
¬¬ well...
i just went like *facepalm* but well if you say it is a teaser then ...okay i guess ._.
Not bad
The animation is really good but I was hoping for a good fight scene... Anyway it was still awesome. But making it short took out bits of awesomeness.
