Okay so starting yesterday, i began re-continuing from a scene in the ZOEOA trailer and decided to make it into an animated mecha battle.

It's incomplete at the moment, but I want you guys to see what I've got so far.
Tell me what you think of it ^_^

1 day

Yeh this place is probably dead. -.-

Actually, it was just 1 day :0

Anyway, just watched it. As a wip, it's looking good. Crispier effects and more fluid animation are a must.

meh, it's not a fully 3D animation. The mechs are all 2D-animated and colored. it's really hard to do all of this detail. I used the 3D models from my ZOEOA game as a reference for the designs.

Oh, I thought you used 3D models in some sort of cell-shaded setting. Still, my suggestions hold up; only difference is it will be harder.

the background is cell-shaded and blurred :3

The mechs ARE using the 3D models, but only in the high-framerate scenes.

For standard anime-speed scenes, I use hand-drawn detail and animation. But uhhh yeah, I've been getting too cocky with the ZOE-2 style smoke effects(I hope you got the ZOE 2 vibe from them too :3)

I will try to focus more on the mech animation from now on. And since everyone wants higher animation framerates for the mechs, I will start using the models more often.

I am currently doing the best I can with the animation, but I know there must be a way to do better.


Thank you for inspiring me.

Seems pretty cool and it appears to be coming along nicely.
