My only real crit is the ground has a weird shimmer..
Its a light thing. In a scene its always good to have only 1 light that has emit specular checked in it attributes, all the rest can be check off
That should get ride of the shimmer and make the ground look more solid...

Only one question tho...... as the cam pans to the right...... whats that sharp dark line that appears in the foreground at about 10 secs to 13 secs? I thought it may be the edge of rock but one spider walks over it without gaining any altitude. Perhaps its a shadow from the terrain. Maybe you could soften that line up or break it up so its not so sharp and straight?
All in all I still say.. it kicks total ass man! Awesome work Alan.

I'm not a typical animator by any sense of the word. Also in retrospect the technical animators (the ones on my course) are the ones that are getting interviews whereas the MA's are gonna struggle more. I mean there are 4 times as many of them as there are of us and there arent that many jobs for animators out there at the moment.... sad but true. I think that on my course we have learned a lot more than on the other courses as well. But maybe I'm a little biased.Witchy: If I have time I will make some more textures, but that's not top of my little list of things to do at the mo
Harvezter: I have a funny feeling that the line you are talking about may be a texture misbehaving.... I will check for any hard lines in the file and get rid of them
Kurt: you may be right on that I will take a look, it could also be some stuff from the DIvx compression.
thanks for all the replies guys, I will hopefully have something else to post later on
Alan
