RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Gors - 12-21-2009
...maybe jumpy wasn't the right word...
I meant that those orange circles aren't moving right.

I made a sketch of the ball: the left is correct and the right is wrong. The circles on the left ball move in a slight curve fashion. The right one, though, is irregular.
Your animation, unfortunately, is like the second ball. I'm afraid it'll take a lot of work to fix it though...
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Neslug - 12-21-2009
If I change it they'll be aligned straight because it's a one pixel difference and near impossible to represent the first ball at such a small size. And no I'm not going to use subpixeling this time, would unnecessarily up the colour count.
Now, don't take this the wrong way. I can see it too but I don't think it can be fixed. And if it can, I don't know the best possible way.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Gors - 12-21-2009
Okay. Do it as you please. I don't think I'd fix it if I were you too, that's a complex animation :o
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Neslug - 12-21-2009
That's the easiest part. I'd totally do it if I knew a good way to make the movement smoother without subpixeling.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Gors - 12-21-2009
hmm... I think that is possible.
all you need is to fix those
![[Image: imagemoo.png]](http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1448/imagemoo.png)
parts, since the middle part is ok.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Neslug - 12-21-2009
Okay I'll try moving the spikes on the top part one pixel to the sides earlier in the animation so it doesn't look as...jumpy.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Neslug - 12-22-2009
Sorry for the double post, but it's an update. And I think it looks less jumpy.

RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Darking - 12-22-2009
Now is a lot better.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Neslug - 12-23-2009
So anyone got any last-minute crits before I move on to fixing the shading and thus finishing the ball animation?
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Gors - 12-23-2009
-----V
that spike is still jumpy.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Baegal - 12-23-2009
are you gonna fix the shading on the spikes on the side?
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Neslug - 12-23-2009
@Gorsal: If we're being picky, but I'll admit the top spike could use a bit more work still. Want to actually finish this thing this year.
@Charlie: Yeah, I won't overlook it.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Jovian-12 - 12-23-2009
much better, methinks. I can't see any jerkiness anymore.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - CeeY - 12-23-2009
I'm not liking how the light source shifts up and down. Otherwise, the animation is beautiful.
RE: Bowser Ball (WIP) - Davy Jones - 12-23-2009
The shadow is too abrupt, rest is beautiful.
