I did a test animated render of my 2D animated project for University here www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6NfnG7gDs4You may have to click it a few times as You Tube is not behaving . I think I got the tripods stride down to a decent march. Please tell me what you think

Nice - the movement is very smooth and the graphics excellent. It must have taken you a long time to do! I like the 'flexible' look of the legs as it moves - it makes them seem very alien.

Thanks Luperis
I wanted to keep to the "organinc like living machine" feel from the novel and gave the tripod a movement as if it were being manipulated by a brain would a real body as opposed to a clumsy machine. I'm glad I got across an alien feel to the fighting machine. Believe it or not the Tripod is the easy bit, it's the Handling Machine I'm really going to stuggle with.

Nice! Personally, I've always thought the tripods are less than graceful and 'stomp' around but that is very cool.

Yeah... trying to animate five legs moving realistically in sync is a difficult task, but it'll be interesting to see how you do it. Best of luck with your project - looks like it's going to be amazing when it's done.

Very nice work, Ashe Raven. Quite cool! The motion is extremly fluid and well defined. I hope to see more of your work soon!

I have expanded the animation a little, with some camera movement. youtube.com/watch?v=xIbvJiH0Gi8BNothing much, but after that I imported the animation as an alphaplane into a demo of Vue 5 and got some ver interesting if not impressive results. I'll post that up later.
