ok I watched the "promotional trailer" here's my thoughts...

1. Walk cycle is ok for a rough one, but it looks just like one long loop. There's no change in pace or anything. Mix it up a bit add some randomness.

2. The model appears to slip as it walks. fix this because it's a very simple thing to fix and it really makes things look awful when it happens! user added image

3. If you are going for a cell shaded look then fine, but at the moment it looks like it was done on a BBC Micro from the mid 80s (no offence!) user added image Sort out something better and really take you time on the style. Look at some VFS shorts they tend to have some really nice styling (look for the dinosaur one called "ouch!" i think that's it's name).

4. Don't try too much, get some simple stuff that looks cool and is well done rather than a large quantity of mediocre stuff.

5. Change the particles of blood so that it fountains down rather than shooting straight up like a geyser! user added image maybe have some splat the camera as well user added image

Pure_Morning: Thanks for the tips, I will work on the walk cycle and try and get it looking tip top user added image, but in the actual animation there will be just too much stuff going on to be able to pick out all the details. As for the blood tho it was my intention for this unatural (cartoony) spray. If you seen Kill Bill you might know what Im talking about.

diseasekrot: Thanks, and yes cel shading is done in maya, well its an optimised shader downloaded from highend3d.com.

Alan

In alot of old kung-fu movies (the good ones) the blood would shoot several feet from bodies. Either that or in the cheap ones someone would get cut and then the blood would apear a few minutes later It depends if you want a retro style.

EDIT: That post wasn't there when i clicked reply, sorry.
