[commandergs]

[MrQuiggles12]

I actually liked this hair the best. Maybe just make it a bit longer?

[ash3255]

i love the hair and the eye but the body is a little open and cut PS: please mr. digitiani don't make her hair and here eye long and life-like just keep it as an anime style

[mjmegaplay]

I like the hair, please keep the hair

[XxAngiexXRPI]

@swordweilder46 :3

[XxAngiexXRPI]

I like her hair more int his version than the recent model for her BUT if say the length was at her shoulders, I think it'd look better. :D I'm so happy someone came up with NeoToonami

[agent136]

damn i almost want to give you money to buy the rights to fucking toonami because you are doing great!

[ultramegachicken1001]

this is the best sarah ever. I like her hair like that instead of the long hair

[GamecubeLPs]

@ultramegachicken1001 I agree :D

[TheDarkmasterchumble]

this one looks ok definetly go with this one

[l7evilhaunt]

This hair. I WANT this hair >.< have a tutorial?

[Joshiesgotagun]

Just don't make her look like Cortana. Not that Cortana looks bad, lol.

[EpicProportions21]

dont like it its too solid looking it needs to be more digital and like the one on the absolution

[animatigital]

@EpicProportions21 thanks for the feedback!

[impiccolomofo]

This is excellent. NeoToonami is coming along great.

[animatigital]

@impiccolomofo Thanks, man!

[ruzzzler]

@animatigital oh yeah i was sayn i think the hair should be blue an a tad bit longer but ur probly already got your design by now.

[KyoushuAbunai]

I prefer this version as it is, with the spaces it seems more robotic and holographic, rather than a fullbody slime

[narutofanatic2342]

very nice, 

[animatigital]

@narutofanatic2342 Thanks!

[ruzzzler]

@animatigital if you get a double post just ignore them, haha my bad

[animatigital]

@ruzzzler I don't think I got the first post.

[ruzzzler]

@animatigital wow u didn't i wish i remembered what is was about lol, sry about that XD

[AilStrong]

Nice SARA, dawg. I'd like to help the project any way that I can.

[animatigital]

@AilStrong Thanks, man!  Have you signed up for the forums? That's the best way to get connected.

[BioZachem842]

nice job

[animatigital]

@BioZachem842 Thanks!

[watariryusaki]

Try porting the models into Daz for easier animations.

[jmarston123]

i think it would cool to have sara 3 in a pink yobotic suit like tom but mostly diffrent.

[animatigital]

@jmarston123 That's thinking outside the box! I love hologram SARA, but you can put your input in over at the SARA 3 forum in the NeoToonami forums.

[IShallRuleOneDay]

give her huge animated jugs,that'd sure make me tune in every day. :)

[animatigital]

@IShallRuleOneDay You know, I think people specifically asked me to tune the juggary down. You know how it is. You can't please everybody.

[IShallRuleOneDay]

@animatigital Awwwwww Come on.

[animatigital]

@futureTFBdunker Well, that's not the way I would want to go with it, but it is a community project, so you can join the site forums and put in your ideas. Everybody gets a say. Perhaps you have already done that. I have not been keeping up recently.

[futureTFBdunker]

@animatigital yeah i understand ignore those comments :) there old lol and yeah i have been helping you guys out a little bit!! :D im here to help neotoonami out as much as i can!! btw nice sara! :)

[animatigital]

@futureTFBdunker Thanks!

[silverfang221]

you sir have reignited my Toonami spirit thankyou dude keep up the work

[animatigital]

Thanks, man! Glad to pass it on.

[patrickc1193]

Nice, love the glowing core. The chest should be bigger(not trying to be a perv) and the eyes should be brown.

[animatigital]

Thanks for the input!

[patrickc1193]

And you should make the face and body look more like an anime character.

[animatigital]

@patrickc1193 Interesting that you said that. You should check out the different versions of her head that I am putting up for review.

[TheAbsolution1]

and i see where your coming from, and that's why i liked toonami, they were always original in what they did and i can see you are following in their footsteps and that's why i'm looking forward to the launch of Neo.

[TheAbsolution1]

hmm "The Renascent" huh? hmm... i woulda preferred an AbsolutioNeXt or MarkIII but i guess it's a good name. And if it's in the name of Toonami, i'm up for it so it'll be a little adjustment but other than that I think it's gonna be all systems go soon.

[animatigital]

Judging from your name, I guess you're kind of fond of the original name. :-) I am too, but I like the meaning behind Renascent. I had to look it up before I got it.

[CalicoVall]

I would rather think that a longer hairstyle would fit her character better, maybe a ponytail. Besides that, I really have no objections to it. ^^ I love the spaces you put in her body. Gives kind of a 'Tron-like' feel to it. ^^

But, to tell you the truth, I want to see something like this in neoToonami. Maybe you can have this as a younger A.I. assisting SARA. Like an intern, maybe?

[CalicoVall]

or they maybe testing a new A.I. or something. Whatever works... ^^

[CalicoVall]

Thoughts: I think this pretty good for a first go, though I have my opinions. I think you should make the hair a little longer in places and change the face a little, making it look slightl older. Other than that, I really have no complaints about it. Great job! ^^

[animatigital]

Thanks, so much for your feedback! I have had others say that she should look older. The hair is also not popular, so I know I need to change that. I was just trying to get the material settings set first.

Some people want hair like SARA 2 and some want no hair like SARA 1. Any perference?

[CalicoVall]

Being the hard working A.I. she is, I think she deserves her own head of hair. ^^ While SARA 2 was AWSOME, I think a new Toonami needs to seperate itself from it's last incarnations. While the shorter, spikier (don't know if I pronounced it right) hairdo does this, it also makes her look younger as well. Which is a problem because she has always been an older character, a mother figure if you will to TOM like M was to James Bond.

[thesighingshoe]

I like the general design and you have some amazing subtle touches (the core being my favorite) the only real argument I have with it is that with the fact that she is free form it just seems a better fit to have her legs fazed out (kinda like the second version of her) but maybe that's just nostalgia talking. again its awesome.

[animatigital]

Thanks!

I thought SARA 2's legs were just as solid as the rest of her?

Nostalgia is not a bad thing. SARA 2 was awesome! I am actually hoping to get as close to her as I can without it being a copy. Its a group decision, though.

Personally, I still like the idea of having empty spaces in her body, but that is not popular in the forums at NeoToonami.

[thesighingshoe]

Well actually now that I look back I cant seem to find a single clip with her feet in the shot at all so I think they kinda just left it up to the viewers imagination.

[Moonfane14]

Reminds me a lot about Cortana from Halo, I was waiting for her to say, "Im detecting additional Covenant movement."

[animatigital]

:-)

[FerociousFox]

This is not bad at all, but seeing as SARA is a hologram, I don't think there's a real need to see her ankle joints at all since she wouldn't have any. I don't think there should be many spaces in her, just a few for a slightly flawed effect. The arms can be a little rounded out, but this looks awesome.

This is actually looking very close to a finished product.

[FerociousFox]

Oh, and the core is a VERY cool subtle touch, I like it.

[animatigital]

@FerociousFox Thanks so much for your feedback! Its really appreciated.

[toonamikid]

you sir have just made my day even better thanks

[animatigital]

@toonamikid Glad to hear it!

[MichaelB218]

She looks great so far!

[ElectricMetalGod]

looks good,all you guys need now is a ship

[animatigital]

@ElectricMetalGod That's probably going to be a while, unfortunately.

[dbn300100]

neotoonami will be awesome

it already has the co-creator of toonami in on it

[ElectricMetalGod]

@dbn300100 seriously? is he actually designing some of this or doing something that was used in toonami when it was on air? oh and does anyone know if te people from toonami are doing anything anime related?

[Zipperman2000]

@ElectricMetalGod We have Toonami co-creator Jason DeMarco following our Twitter account and he thinks what we're doing is cool, but he's not actually working with us on the project. This is 100% fan-created. He was up to do an interview for us, but it hasn't happened (yet). As for what the creators of Toonami are doing now, they run the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Netwok. I guess you could say that's anime-related, but they seem to be phasing anime out due to low ratings.

[ElectricMetalGod]

@Zipperman2000 thats awesome maybe he'll comment on the cancellation and say whether they saw it coming or if they were mad they got canceled,I have one more question, Are you guys going to keep anime you show PG 13 like toonami did on CN or are you guys going to be showing anything along the lines of Bleach, death note, code geass ? just wondering this because with this being online it will have no restrictions unlike TV,Although some people would get freaked out if you played Elfen Lied haha

[Zipperman2000]

@ElectricMetalGod Scheduling is still on the drawing board, but we know that most Toonami fans these days are older in age, so that will be taken into account when we pick the series we show. But we'll also be trying to stay true to Toonami's origins. The series that you mentioned are certainly the types of shows we're looking at airing. And of course it will all be uncensored.

[ElectricMetalGod]

@Zipperman2000 thats cool,you guys should have an hour with classic shows on some weekdays with dbz,cowboy bebop,gundam wing etc and then just call it classic toonami or something like that.Tom 5 looks sick and so does Sara maybe after a year you guys should kill him off like tom 1 lol, Toonami actually got in trouble when making the intruder because they went over the budget

[dezza111]

id say the ball joints look awesome but you need them on the hip/thigh joints too for consistancy as they too are ball joints... but awesome texture i think and it maybe cause of the spinning but its a bit difficult to process the image in your head at first glance...

[mcasual]

the hair is a big part of the character of the character, then i'd say the eyes,

[animatigital]

The hair and the eyes are not finalized. I was mainly trying to get feedback on the body texture.

[vortexz]

On the site as Vancex and I like it one thing i'll say is that she looks young, which is not a problem, where as i the sara 2 looked older. Anyway I love the design keep up the good work

[animatigital]

Some people complained about the young look. I thought SARA 2 looked young, though. Is it the face that makes you say that?

[vortexz]

yea her face looks young but i say keep it I like it

[shinigamivader]

It looks cool.

[animatigital]

Thanks!

[lightmusashi]

on the site as Big_Joop. Thought I'd throw a thought out in here, even though I'll probably post something on NeoT as well.

I like the initial design. It's definitely an improvement (imo) over the initial model presented on the website. The one issue that I still have with the model is spacing on the textures. Personally, I envision SARA as a more complete form. Not necessarily solid, but minus the spacing. Instead, fill out the texture completely and REALLY define shading... in a hologram...

[animatigital]

I guess I'll try a version with just the regular model texture, plus some alpha and see how you like it.
