Arrow Speed Animation Comp "7" (Car Chase/Race)

_Car Chase/Race_


It’s time to kick it up a notch. Now, on to the comp.

The idea,
A car chase/race. At least two objects moving around an area. If it’s a chase, one must be following the other in some way. If they are racing, someone has to win. Special effects are allowed but are not necessary. This is about the animation. You don’t have to stick to this, it’s just an idea to get you started. On completion, you must submit some sort of render or screen grab that links to your final movie. This is so I can find all final submissions at the end
_Rules_

- The due date is June 2nd, (two weeks from now) a Friday. Voting will be on that Saturday.

- Maximum animation length is 60 seconds, unless you just have to have more.

- Recommended screen resolution in 320x240 (you can do 640x480 if you want, but why would you).

- You can post W.I.P.s but you are only allowed one complete entry. That link is also final. No redos.

- Websites where you post your finals is up to you.

- Remember, it's about animation, use your time for animation, not to get the best render possible, unless you can afford it.

- Use of plug-ins not allowed. Must be key framed (hand animated)

- Try to use Quicktime or Divx if possible. If you can, make a gif.


- Voting will be as follows -

Pick your favorite animation.

First Place- (0-5 points)

Second Place- (0-5 points)

Third Place- (0-5 points)




Good luck!

Hey people justa small question. Can we use reactor or particles. Not for the whole animation just for blasting things up and some small rigidbody simulations.

So of course you can use particles.

shikav4 As long as you hand animate the car chase/race and dont use plug-ins for that part, you are fine.

You may use plug-ins for anything else. Its right there in the guidelines. Don't make the comp seem more convoluted than it needs to be.

Does the object have to have wheels? Does it have to be on the ground?
