Hey, that's not too bad. Nice job. And the song's not bad either.

[TheSpyro4]

How did you do that?

[Sputnick2006]

@TheSpyro4

Time, patience, and more patience. Maya was the program. Not as good as some other spyro animations, but its ok. Thanks though!

[coolbuddy123ify]

@Sputnick2006 that looks exactly like him but he just needs shining

[Shelbling13]

lol this is good can u make another Spyro animation its good

[Sputnick2006]

@Shelbling13

I've been focusing more on body movement and scene design as opposed to facial movement for the past month, but finding time for this between 2 jobs for this is very difficult. Ill get somthing out as soon as i can.

[werewolfmaster99]

pretty good,man

[Sputnick2006]

@werewolfmaster99

Thanks!

[mscorp6]

[WolfsRain345]

Hey, what's the name of the song?

[Sputnick2006]

@WolfsRain345 Its Plus 41 or "+41" singing "When Your Heart Stops Beating"

;)

[WolfsRain345]

That's amazing! What program did you use?

[Sputnick2006]

@WolfsRain345 Its a program called Maya made by Autodesk. Its kinda expensive but totally worth it if you are going into the animation field. Thx btw ;)

[xdarkcynderx]

cool!

[Sputnick2006]

@Kauhukakara94 Right! I have no idea why it is so dark on some pcs... Its perfectly fine on mine, but when i view it on some others its very dark. ???? ill try to figure it out

[BlackRose1453]

Whoa, that's amazing :O

[Sputnick2006]

@spyro526 well, there are a couple of ways you can animate! There is a free program called "Blender" you can use to do pretty much anything from modeling to game creation. You could also use Maya or 3ds Max by Autodesk. These are a bit pricy, but i enjoy using Maya more than the others. Check the net for tutorials, thats how i started 2 years ago.

[tsitra360]

That's a great way to practice. I wonder what songs I use if I actually knew how to animate.

I heard from one animator from Australia that it takes a team of animators 2 weeks to render 5 seconds of a movie. How long did this take you?

[Sputnick2006]

@ tsitra360 Yes, animating facial movement is hard. very hard. It took me a couple of days to whip up this animation, but keep in mind its pretty basic, and the words don't totally line-up with his mouth, and there is no background besides the one with the picture at the end. But ya gotta start somewhere right?

[tsitra360]

@Sputnick2006 Oh yes definitely. After a year you can look back and see your improvements. That's what happened to me and my art. I hope I can get started with Maya soon, I just have the trial and I'm trying to get the educated discount version.
