On a side note next comp instead of posting your final works on various slow websites, I have a ton of web space through dreamhoast so if you want you could send me the original file through like dropload.com and give me an email and I'll try to post it and give you back an email as soon as possible.

Just a thought.

Hey hey, its my FIRST SUBMISSION EEVVEEERRRRRR....
I had to do Slugfest, although its not like, traditional pinball, i used to just pump quarters into one of these things when i was a kid, and i have a shoebox full of baseball cards to prove it.
The animation was alittle boring, so i kinda threw some other stuff in there,
:roll: check it out

ok, times up. Start voting.

[DerekSc]

Great job everyone! Lots of effort in there, made me watch each one over and over again. A couple of them would be fantastic if just a little more work is done cleaning up the graphs (a couple of slow-downs before impact that can easily be fixed in the graph editor). I admit mine still needs more work in the graph editor as well... but that won't make it fantastic though. :) I won't go into detail about each one, but you all win a free game in my books.

Thrillhouse900, welcome, good to see your submission. I like the glass breaking effect and the touch of comedy at the end (did I see the name Mickey Mantle on the card?).
Looking forward to seeing your stuff in future comps! Keep going!

Once again, super work done by all!

(vote DerekSc... just kidding!)

[hammering3D]

hmmm, this is a situation when I think I shood skip the vote because I'm not the one to judge something that I'm bad at it ... I like best Diabolos & DerekSc and is hard do say wich is best ... for me both animation are preaty natural and look real, but I must pick one and I watch them over and over and I think DerekSc anim is litle litle more natural and I give my vote to him...but bouth are close so congratulation to bouth...

[Diabolos]

I agree with hammering (my criteria might not be the best) - my vote goes for anem8or - there were a lot of physics mistakes, but an incredible effort in the overall animation - using both levels, lights, and idea.

D,

[anem8or]

is the poll going to stay open longer than 1 day? I have not had a chance to look over all the entries and will not have a chance till Monday mornning.

Thanks

[BiG ToE-3DT]

ok, I'll leave it open. just for you...

[Thrillhouse900]

...Yeah, i voted for myself..WHAAT?


Thrillhouse900, welcome, good to see your submission. I like the glass breaking effect and the touch of comedy at the end (did I see the name Mickey Mantle on the card?).(vote DerekSc... just kidding!)

haha, yeah your right, the card did say mickey mantle, i just typed in babe ruth card on google and selected whatever i could find :crazy:

[BiG ToE-3DT]

you are kidding right, you can't vote for yourself.

[anem8or]

My vote went to DerekSc. I really liked how the ball looked like it had energy and when it bounced off of objects it lost a little bit of momentum and energy.

After watching yours I noticed I didn't focus on that and now watching mine I can see there is no real momentum to the ball I hadn't spent enough time adding the needed energy that yours had.

So kodos to DerekSc and everyone else who entered.

[DerekSc]

Wow, thanks a lot for the votes and comments, and congratulations to Diabolos!
Everyone did really great work, lets keep this energy going!
I have a feeling we're going to see some really nice fighting moves in the next one.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I'll be closing the poll soon, so if you haven't voted yet, do so soon.

Thank you.

[ItsaMystery]

My vote goes to DerekSc. Diabolos' was very good too, but I really liked your timing with the ball bounces and how it hit the other objects in the pinball machine.

Great work everyone!

[Diabolos]

Wow, thanks for the compliments everyone! I think I am the first one awake in this thread, and the poll is still open so no mimosa breakfast for me this morning it's still pretty close............

[hammering3D]

I gues we cood say CONGRATULATION to Diabolos...

but we will not :D...

...just kiding ;P...CONGRATULATION Diabolos, an well deserved first place, natural movement and verry nice modeling and render (not that this count in judging)...

[Diabolos]

Thank you........forget the mimosa - I am going to have a little orange juice in my vodka this morning followed by a redbull tracer to wash it down........

Good Morning Viet..err Berlin!!!!!!!!!!!
