Animated robot! Feedback, please!
For some time now, i've been working on this model (inspired by an animation i found here at the forum, some time ago,
called "livefiretest")and a whole lot on its texture...
I made this quick animation of my robot hearing some sort of sounds, reacting and finally getting sucked out
of this world from a powerfull draft of some kind.
I'm pretty new to the animation part of 3d and would like to hear some tips of the trade. Whats good(if any), whats bad and whats missing?
follow the link, you'll find a mpeg i hope you all can watch.
Thank you / Vilo

Maybe vary the eye color / glow intensity a bit to show surprise and curiosity?? also some sound would really top it off!!

Perhaps you could have it struggle against that vacuum a bit, slide towards the hole trying to get foot hold, as it currently looks as though it just falls into the hole.
Top stuff,
Mat.

I really liked the robot and the overall design - like how it ended with just the black hole and shadow against the white background.
Really good job mate - lets see some more of your stuff.
