Little Ninjai

Complex UV Layout in Maya

Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Came across this today. It's an artsy, sepia tone anime series in flash about a little boy samurai with exceptional talent. Gets good around Chapter 3 but gets a little slow later on. Beautiful artwork though and nice use of parallax and DOF in Flash. I love the voice of ninjai as well as his relationship with the bird.

I watched all the chapters last night, and all I have to say is...brilliant!

The first couple of chapters looked like flash animation, but after that, they all looked very much like a big budjet animation project. The line art ( at some points ) looked rushed, but that didn't take away from the story. The music was beautifully done, is there a soundtrack available?

I highly recommend for anyone intrested in cartoon flash animation, or cartoon animation in general, to check this out.
