Reviews for "The Big Fat Tutorial"
Helbereth responds:
I kinda did that intentionally to see if you're paying attention. I'd gone back over that several times, but decided to leave it reversed.
One of the best tutorials here!
I've been tinkering around with stuff, but your animation really gives direction to my work. I love your forest effects and will be using them in the overhead views of the city in my upcoming blockbuster "Flash Noir." The "random" faery flitting effects were very interesting and useful. I never understood masks until this tutorial. I didn't even notice how the shine stayed while the gears moved, but it's a great subtle effect that, once again, I will use in my animation. Music, well, it was varied and appropriate. I like the fold-out animation on the buttons as well as the "SECRET OMG!" This is, in my humblest of opinions, the only tutorial worthy of being an actual Daily Feature and possibly Top 50 material. Keep up the work, and who knows--maybe I'll get better and be doing a collab with you guys in the future! <_< >_> <_< >_> ...or mmmaybe not.
Helbereth responds:
There's an object viewer you can access through the credits that lists virtually every object and displays the number of moving parts involved. I really didn't notice how much stuff I'd made for this thing until I started putting that section together.
Tom and Wade, listen to these people! They love me!
Okay I'll go back in my hole now...
see you cleared up "fun with masking" kekeke
Nice one there helbereth, was way much better than all of the useless crappy tutorials that you find on HELP on ng, hopefully this would get added there, congrats on the daily feature too! Nice cover up on fun with masking though haha
ATD-newbie animations
Helbereth responds:
I never planned on it being dirty. It's supposed to be a tutorial, so it had to be accesible to most everyone.
Btw the mild violence is for the plane crash. if you zoom in on him when it blows he ends up cut in half by the tail wing... he's left a blackened and bloody mess...
It took me a second to realize who this was... and ATD didn't help for some reason...
Damn good!
Yes. A very helpful tutorial right when I need it. I was about to give up on backgrounds because depth issues with freehand. Now this has given my background some life. 10/10
Helbereth responds:
Well I'm glad I could help. Backgrounds is what I learned first. I needed to get them down before doing full productions because the productions I have planned are fully cinematic.
I may be crazy, but I'm methodical.
Thanks for he review.
