I actually used a reference for the flag, as i didnt know much about flags in the wind, is that ok?

There just roughs first, ill update as i get crits/advice etc...

[NOOB!]

edit:darn,i can't help it...crit....try to keep the ball a consistant size,looks small in some frames

*runs*

[Terro]

Lol, Noob.

Welcome aboard ClayT, thanks for entering the Challenge. Using reference is always recommended, how else would you learn :)

[clayt]

Hehe thanks NOOB and Terro.

Yeah one the bouncy ball one i just did it really rough to start off with.

Update:

Ok, so i think i kinda fixed the ball going smaller throughout the animation, i coloured it and added a little shadow:

The spacing of one of your bounces is far too apart. your ball also sticks to the ground when it bounces. Your flag wave lacks volume. some nice attempts though, keep practicing.

Ball = improved! i'd try to do something about that line that pops up in the flag cycle- ease it in somehow...

[kame]

clayt, good job with the ball, really!
The thing that looks most out of the ordinary to me is the first "jump", it's too slow compared to the rest. The only way it could go so slow in the air is if it would spin around its axis at a very high speed. Ofcourse you could just make it go faster :D .

[clayt]

Ok. I totaly worked my ass off on this... i have done 3 versions of flags n i think this is the best one...

Not bad Clayt, but 5 stars for being the only one who posted in the last couple of days.:rolleyes: Was getting awfully lonely in here.:o

[clayt]

Really nice work Clayt,

great improvement with the flag and the ball bounce.

cart:D

[jackhalfaprayer]

yah man, that's looking mighty fine!

I'd say clean up the left side of the flag, but as it stands it's really just silky smooth and gorgeous...

[Terro]

Thats a very clean flag Clayt. The one thing I did notice was that the flag seems to be blowing in a upward angle yet the 2 strings holding the flag are constantly straight. Just something to consider, but great work regardless.

[vicjperry]

Wow! I'm very impressed with the submissions so far. Great challenge and great job folks.

[jackhalfaprayer]

Thats a very clean flag Clayt.

disagree. left side's eaten into, you can see the white- it's slight but it bugs me:Xead: :Xead: :Xead: . and it's a simple fix.

[clayt]

thanks for the kind replys... i did notice that bit on the left side too.... and the flag going in an up direction i will fix that in due time lol...
