Sword Fighting

[TavinUndertaker]

I like it, the only thing I think that was bad was it was to slow.

[directorphleg]

что это блять, было?!

[MohanABK]

Itchysland, thats great man! For a first try?! What! Bravo!

Just do more and more and get experience... then you'll make something like Final Fantasy Advent Children! ^^

[BigOsLures]

why dose the blue guy always win

[LuxuryMrc]

Haha This is Joke ?

[weedtiger]

Its kinda slow lol but not that i could do better atm, although with some sound effects it would have been allot better I think

[ButterzDaPanda]

Lol great I bet with a little practice you'd become better than the average pro :D

[jhonny66414]

esta bien pero lo hiciste muy lento te doy un 5

[undercoverpivotdudes]

good,try to add something i learned from 2d animation like flash,its called easing and its good for about anything with power like the sword hits. basicly you start the movement with small motions,then a little bigger,making it go a lil faster,then when its quite fast,you start slowing it down a lil...heres a try of showing it.

-l-l-l--l--l---l----l-----l---­---------l-------l---l-l-l-l-l­-llll

kinda like that :D hope u understood and try using it. makes the animations overall better :D

[bailer4life]

this is like 1000 times better than my first few attempts. Anyone who actually knows anything about animation will know this is impressive.

[KaliumMusic]

oh and one more thing: ninjas with western swords? how dare you! :D

[SuperDave341]

IS THAT AN ALTERNATE SUB-ZERO AND ERMAC?

[Pipoxd12]

hasta mi abuela pelea mejor que esos 2

[LionEntity]

3Ds Max rules

[parkourFLT]

name for program?

[ltsonic1]

good, what university? i might go when its the time.

[DrayAssist]

Nice vid for your first one! Why would people dislike this? it's only your first time.

[pticopevac1]

Blue always wins XD

[HaloEditor]

Ignor all the other people saying it sucks,

I bet they couldent do anything like that =D

[ManuorbeTV]

Subzero Lol!

[MrPlantcity813]

@ManuorbeTV i was thinking the same thing lol

[MrDar3k]

if u had spent a little more time on the background it would look way better, not too much time u can just apply a texture or something like that,

in general it looks good I like the movements ;D

[jamesfish05]

Impressive face posing.

[Slyanimationz]

so realistic I almost died

[SrNenas]

blah!

[HjeRmProduction]

omg fail framerate

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

Nice flat rendering!

[denniesloot18]

that was really cool, i bet that the guys who disliked this video are just too stupid to animate something like this

[KaliumMusic]

@denniesloot18 Or, some of us actually do this for a living and give honest opinions. ;) The video is good for a first try, but is in no way perfect. The background is extremely boring and lacking, there's not even a texture on the floor, there's no excusing that. The ninjas suffer from what I like to call "Drifting Syndrome" at times, which is that they're bodies are floating around between keyframes without the rest of their limbs acting accordingly, and -- crap running out of characters.

[denniesloot18]

@KaliumMusic

yes its way not perfect or anything,, but what i was trying to say is that this really good for a beginning animator.

[thebronzedemom]

i guess its ok

[pokefriend123]

wow that was really good =D

[Dymamyd]

Nice animation, only there isn't realy much action in it I have to say...

[Ellensai]

Not bad for first try :). Your timing is quite off though, some movements are way too slow others too fast. Make sure to use reference material to help with timing and try adding abit more anticipation, that'll add a bit of emotion to them, like they're thinking.

[harb37]

Hey, this was pretty good (and I'm usually pretty critical of indie 3d animation vids).

[ian772]

preety good for your 1st! i wish i knew how to make animations like this

[shockwaive]

Start off smaller...I remember i was also ambitious when i started. First animate objects, (balls, boxes, etc.) then try animating one bipedal character, after that you can move on to two.

[normixxxx]

meh too now i modeling kinda robots and animating those

[PsyMike3d]

nice model :)

[amokkzeo]

good work . but make it little better in future ok ...

[Nemecys]

lol what kind of comment is that lol, did you mean work on it more and get better next time

[787310]

wow pretty cool for your first animation

but for the people who say this sucks

i want you people to try and make one single model

go ahead

then after that, why dont you try and make a fight scene, which is better than this one on your first try?

we would love to see if you could back up your words

[JonO387]

lol

[TheTOPProductions]

nice

[tedchirvasiu]

ofc i know...i'm working with 3ds max 9...

[GOBRAGH2]

Looks good!

You will only improve if your passionate about what you do!

[zanoot]

gay _._ 0  yawnnnnnn

[tedchirvasiu]

1/5 :(

[thepryest]

you give it a go fool. you just try working out how to make a single polygon. I dare you!

[ktmbua]

if u only knew how hard it is do 3d modelling and animation

[vikidnss]

It sorda looked like mk

[spider9109]

speed it up a bit but other than that GREAT JOB!

[Dobbo151]

good animation bad moves, they looked like when a kid makes two action figures fight by just rotating them, needs whole body movement : (

[UEGUnequaled]

that looked really good for your first one

[ghostface5555]

1/5

[hackersdream]

keep up the good work!

its a 4/5 because i know you can do better if you just try

[DoomScytheBand]

I think this was a nice effort... 3/5

Keep it up I'm sure you'll do better =]

[Mettlehead222]

And Wow Animator? There is no such thing dumbass

[Mettlehead222]

No your right, I can't make 3D animations like this, But any other animations i do shit all over this.

[mickael429]

sword move was pretty slow but

good work

[kwy1994]

pff red always need to win

[1lidanStormrage]

red did not win

[WildSnakeMovie]

whats up with the mean comments.. O,o it was pretty good :P 5/5

[Mettlehead222]

Wow, This sucks..

If you wanna see a good animation done with Autodesk Maya, Search Youtube for The Craft of War: Blind

[1lidanStormrage]

shut up

[DarknesDavid]

dont say it sucks i bet u cant do this

[DarknesDavid]

and craft of war is made with WoW animator retard

[GardianOfLight]

From my experience in swordfighting, I can say that a lot of sword movement is done with only the wrists. I think that you kept a lot of the moments rather stiff between the forearm and sword. It has a lot of room for improvement, but it's much better than any of my attempts.

[spartamaislovely]

You are great man, keep it up.

[tonyarch]

characters body and movement were great just work on the background and the sound fx.

[chikotrujillo]

jajajaja sorry pero esta bastante malo, pero amigo la practica hace al maestro, te felicito por mostrarlo...

[thelegendofanoob]

nice work

[ztv1997]

runexplayer-well it not the best but pretty good-i think the REAL best is the animations like Scout Attack 1 and 2

[runexplayer1]

ztv, if its the best uve seen, u obviously havnt seen much

[ztv1997]

little stiff but the best ive seen

[gtasaowns]

nice man! 5/5 good job keep it up!

[WiiPowner]

wat program did u use to create the characters?

[itchysland]

It was done in lightwave

[voices3d]

@WiiPowner

Pre-done characters that come with LightWave 8 i think. Rigging and animation semes to be hand made, so to speak.

[demonjesterlad]

to be honest i kinda liked the modeling, i thought i was pretty good considering you havent been at it for a while. the motions were kinda stiff. but overall it was a pretty decent. a 7 out of 10 id say

[ShinigamiAce]

if your new i understand but if you have been doing this for a while this is awful. sorry i work with this stuff.

[tricksterstudioz]

The rigging and modeling are good but maybe you could work on the texturing and animation a little. The motions seem forced and unorganic. Good job on the models though! :)

[Xvfro0styx]

The classic battle of Red vs Blue

[BMB1187]

needs blood

[shieri7]

need sound but is good job, how did u create that video and where? answer

[itchysland]

I created it in lightwave and edited it in premier, its was for a project in university i did a year and a half ago

[McBainMwa]

It is verry nice!

Sorry to be critical - but i think the rigging and models are VERY Good -

though the atual animation needs work

Over all - It is an amzing job.

[Yahoodude830]

awsome man 100/5 it needs just a teeny bit of more work thuogh

[jweinrub]

Very good, there would be a few things to fix here and there. Some parts were a bit floaty, which you probably already know, but I have to say though, you did a pretty good job for what you did. :)

[Sparrrow300]

well im just an hobby programmer, but for ur so called arm animation, he would need one of those real time suits, it would take years to write a script for an detailed movement, how do u think the cutscenes in Devil may cry 3 were made dark, if u m8 know that game. so i siriusly cant laugh at this animation, afterall its just scripted and he done very well with that so far.

[DarkVegito666]

ur models r pretty good but ur arm animations were so bad i laughed out in class where was the movmen of the elbow any of the swings, sry 4 being harsh but i would have just posted the models and worked on the animation more

[blahdob]

ace, some music wouldve made it a bit better tho.

[SYIMBIOTE]

look like sub-zero and scorpion from mortal kombat.

[13Ravin13]

Whoa! can u lease tell me how to make video's like that!!

[itchysland]

Which part? The whole things from 3d animation, using bones and morphing, takes ages to do though

[tmopproductions]

sweet as man good facial movements i still cant work out how to get mine to talk

[itchysland]

I used morphing for the facial expressions, use that to get yours to talk. Ive got another video on here called 'mini golf', theres more expressions on that.

[redzed10]

it was cool but it needs sound

[Vasara11]

Well done.

[Akamarukicksace]

i think the red guy was just asking for it he got what he deserved=D

[Telanhzan]

Very nice, tho a little more life isn't too much to ask for :D

[Alec013]

yeah just 3 problems with that, its kinda rough, and their feet go through the floor. and another thing, theres hardly any life in the characters.  although i like the models ;)

good 1

[darthguy3]

Very good for being a first try. COuld've been a little more smooth. I mean for being ninjas they look very stiff

[Alex7203]

Geez I wounder what is takes to get an A on that

[shardik132]

put the sword a little lower in the hand so it looks good

[muteki005]

They lacked a "human" feel to their movements. Although the facial expressions were good. And yes it was slightly slow. However it was your very first attempt, so 5/5. What grade did you get on this by the way?

[itchysland]

Cheers. The grades are A, B1, B2 and C. C is average, B2 is very good, B1 is excellent and A is for geniuses. I got a B1

[shukaku5x]

that was good but it was alittle slow

[Naruto5673]

this is sweet just add come sound and your good but awsome
