Short Animation

No waves today and I was hanging for a wave or two .... so I made some.

A short animation, with a boxy railed twin fin, no rider and a jingoistic ending.

The animation needs another two hours tuning, but hey, life's short :)

cheers

The pit feeling is great and shading and texture wonderful.

I really enjoyed the glide,

Very much obliged for the kind comments everyone.

Nice to have a few mind waves when there are none in real life, eh?

Mike, I found some left handers on the hard drive.

Here's the left handed version :lol:

Kava ... the music is royalty free by Jamel Boukabou.... he is credited on the left handed mix ( i always forget the music credits :oops: )

Grayman.... the secret is specular reflection, transparency, bump mapping, spline morphs, extrusion, soft shadows ... and this time I put a light on the board to light up the inside of the barrel ;) But in truth, the waves are all sculptured by "hand" and the mark one eyeball.

Markem seems to know the track!!

And Niuhi, I like your succinct vocabulary!!

cheers again

waves here today :) :) :)

see you in the water

Unreal HW, I find myself sitting in my chair leaning toward the left. Also, I think that morphing face is going to give me nightmares. :lol: :wink:
