Description This was a project to create a new intro animation for my Youtube Channel (which doesn't use this yet), and I thought I'd pop it up on here to see what people thought, any suggestions for improvement etc.

UPDATE: I've re-rendered and re-uploaded the animation based of feedback I'd recieved; I've changed the ground material to animated water, which I think works a little better.

Obviously this wasn't created in Flash but I can't seem to upload swf files to any other category... wish they'd fix that...

Modelled in 3ds Max 2012, rendered with mental ray, encoded with Flash C55.5

If you want one like this with your own text, let me know and I'll work on one

Really amazing - great work. Could you do me something with 'Weebee' on it. I know the word is crazy but it means a lot to us - wee baby or little baby! Keep up the good work.!

SelfyEtCetera In reply to BigA-nt [2011-09-24 14:48:32 +0000 UTC]

What sort of something? Do you mean just this, but with different letters, or something a bit different? I'll try and oblige whatever you've in mind

BigA-nt In reply to SelfyEtCetera [2011-09-24 17:55:11 +0000 UTC]

YEah I was thinking of the same thing but saying the word 'weebee' - but if you have a better idea then go for it! If I can do something in return let me know... Thanks

Are the letters meant to say anything if read?

SelfyEtCetera In reply to The-Monoblos [2011-08-10 19:05:48 +0000 UTC]

They're just the same phrase repeated, I was going to use random ones and started to, but then realised what an arduous and long-winded task it'd be, so I just settled for the old copy-and-paste...

Nice stuff ! But the quality is quite poor :/

SelfyEtCetera In reply to instinct191 [2011-08-09 09:26:52 +0000 UTC]

Video quality? Yeah, I know :/ trouble is that DA only lets your upload SWFs and GIFs for animation, and this is the best SWF I could get out of Adobe Media Encoder. I hope that they'll start letting people upload videos in formats like AVI and WMV in the future...

It's bad indeed... Maybe, one day !
Nevertheless your project is cool !

Actually, I'd not previously been aware of the DeviantArt Film program, where you can upload videos, so assuming my request is successful, I'll reupload it under that category. It'll be better than sticking with converting it and losing quality
