Swat Kats 3D -HALF- Intro (Season 2)

This is a 3d Animation Tribute to Hanna Barbera's Cartoon, The Swat Kats, shown in Cartoon Network back in 1993,
Since I was a huge fan of the Series I decided to make a 3d animation about that, I know there's lack of animation on Razor's movements, and some details need a lot of small corrections and arrangements, but there are 2 things, I put myself a deadline for this and because of many factors I got too short in time and needed to save it sacrifiying some details and not having enough time to fix others, the second, This is the VERY FIRST TIME I get into Character Animation so I didnt have any kind of previous experience animating characters before, and I did ALL THIS by myself only, with a preety weak PC for today's standards.

So all of this is why isnt perfect and the reason why I just did half the intro, its because of the computer, it cant handle so much stuff as required for the other half, and as a personal thought, I would feel much more confortable earning some more experience before remaking the entire intro.

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it guys, and if you dont, I dont even care a cent about it cause this was my best until now and it was a big sacrifice to come up with this in the time I had.

Ok I'm a try picking 3d studio max back up and messing with it. Can you direct me anywhere that would teach me all the stuff you have learned in 3d studio max?

[SithBerserker1488]

@whiteknightofkaos Well, maybe not everything I've learned, but a very complete start would be lynda(dot)com there you'll find 3dsMax Essential Trainings, each with aprox 10 hour video tutorials. from zed to intermediate.

You did a really good job. Watching this made me remember I have 3D studio max lol. What version of 3D studio max do you have?

[SithBerserker1488]

@whiteknightofkaos Haha, well this was made between 3dsMax 9 and Max 2009, but right now I have 3dsMax 2010 and 2011

504 hours for this short clip? WOW!!!! animation must be tough!

[SithBerserker1488]

@drwhopk1 Yeah man.. Rendering sucks, besides I didnt had such a powerful system before..

[TheLuigifan22]

Where`s T-Bone?

[FrontLineSpartan119]

This is awesome! I know how hard it is to render and model all of that stuff, so very well done on this. I really wish they would bring back Swat Kats. They're resurrecting Thundercats, Voltron, Power Rangers (is still going) but they can't let us have that one awesome slice of the 90's back. Selfish Pricks at Hanna-Barbera...

Massive props! I loved this show, and now you have me wanting to threaten cartoon network until they make a remake of it like this.

[Starjammerblue]

[kayesdi]

Excellent work!I'm a 90's kid who practically grew with Swat Kats and I think this thing is awesome. They should bring SwatKats back in this format xD
