sorry guys, im new to all this jazz. Also it isnt an assignment, im not at college. But believe it or not, its a christmas present for mr younger brother. He likes cartoons (as all kids do)
This is my second animation attempt.
Wow 1 minute really is nothing!!
However, im rendering it at home on my p.c using my electric, and i pay the bills hehehe.
even so, i dont care now, if you say it took you 30 mins per frame, and 8 mins per frame, then i dont care.
Thanx guys. One way i have worked around it though, i have cut rendering times by keyframing the visibility on my background planes! Which shave quite a few seconds off.
Now i know that im gonna really start playing wiv it.
thanx again!

Maybe the grass should be a inch taller? Otherwise, add some trees so we can see what you style you're looking for.

I usually have renders taking anywhere between 30s to 1.5 hrs per image/frame

I managed to slightly modify the tree on the right hand side, but i will work on it today and keep you all updated.
Im getting mixed feedback (which is fantastic), but do i keep the stubble? Do i leave it? lol.
I'm thinking about putting fur on him. As he is rigged, how would i go about this? Do i have to detach skin then re-attach, or can i just apply fur?
Keep it coming guys. You guys are awesome help. Thanks

all ya gotta do is select your object, choose fur-->attach fur description-->new
just to see if it could be done i created a sphere and a simple rig and skinned the sphere to the rig... and then i applied the fur and it worked fine *shrug*

No fur, except for one bit, very strange.
Ive done it before with a sphere. But as this is not my rig, im confused as to why it wont apply fur all over
???
