animation animation tutorial from 3D world mag...

hello people...

hopefully this link below should play the animation.. let me know if it doesnt!

having had a crack at the audio speaker animation in #94 of 3D world magazine, i'm reasonably happy with what i've produced so far. there are a fair few things i would like to improve on though:

- my sound waves seem to spread out sideways more than they shoot out! i have fiddled and fiddled with all the settings but to be honest all of it is still a bit above me! good to try and fix it myself though

- i want to add the smallest delay to the audio to "sync" it with the movement better. not sure how!

- my speaker doesn't look like its moving too much? is this because i havent added any motion blur at all???

if anyone has got any ideas and suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!!!

thanks very much and keep up the good work!

the links is working

- its nice, ,but why the camera is passive? u should do a fly around the speaker
- u can add realism also with the blur but also with camera shaking

yes i was gonna do the flyround seeing as its a simple addition. i just wanst completely happy with the animation so far. am gonna search out some tutorials on the blur and camera shaking.

but thanks for checking it out TE_

checked it out a while ago heh.
A neat animation it is, but the circles either distract me too much or the speaker isnt really shaking/moving. And i think motion blur isnt really necessary... the circles move smoothly enough. But then again it might look nice... although the flight of the camrea would be blurred aswell... so i dont know, that might not look so good.
