"Wow, we knew we made it when Weird Al made a parody of our song!" Ok, this animation deals with revenge. I will not mention any names as you can figure it out. I think. I hope. VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: Windows Media Player DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: This animation was done completly in Blender. No outside software was used, including the final animation editing. Blender has a built in sequencer with fades and plugins. The spider was the first object created. It was fairly simple and was actually fun. The hardest part was IKA'ing the spider so it could walk. The set was created and then lit by Willem, the master of lighting. Man he's good. We started trying to use radiosity but the meshes got too large too fast. So we went with a lighting mechanism that fakes it out. Each scene was placed into its own scene in blender and then set up with the sequencer to render as one avi. Then ran it thorough avi2mpg and voila. Here it the finished product. I am including the source on my web site at http://www.jps.net/manorton/blender/revenge.html if you would like to take a look at it. You can get Blender at http://www.blender.nl And for those in the know, there were no C-Key functions used in this aninmation. It was done completely with all features in the completely free version.
