Title: [TINYC5] Bug In The Code
Post by: combatking0 on December 17, 2011

I have decided to strip down my entry from the initial spec - gone are the attempts at light-sourced polygons and inverse kinematics.

This entry features an animated wireframe spider walking generally from left to right at different angles while a colourful text scroller runs underneath. A motion blur effect has also been applied to the spider.

Please enjoy it. Unless spiders scare you - in which case turn back now!

Also, the music doesn't loop. RUN AWAY! ;)

Excellent demo! Nice colors and really cool blur effect!  :clap:

How did you model the spider?

For shame, this going to cost you!  ;D

really nice!  :clap: the music is amazing  :updance:

(For mine, I didn't put the blur effet for the wireline rout... I have made something else!)

 :clap: absolutely great entry. Totally rocks. Runs really smooth here on my laptop. Didnt expect to see such a smooth scroller plus an animated wireframe model. All in combination with the great music creates a true oldschool feeling.

I am impressed!  :||

Smooth scroll and smooth wireframe animation here! WELL done!... just the motion blur effect seems a little "too much visible" if you can grasp what I mean...

How did you model the spider?

I created a series of points to male the spider's head and abdomen in one model, then created the legs as 8 lots of 3 models. I then put the origin points of each leg in the same place as the origin point of the body, and then rotated each leg round the Y axis for back-and-forth movement, and round the X axis for up and down movement.

I can't wait to see it

That's great to see - I wasn't sure if it was going to run at a good speed or not.

I guess it's more of an afterglow than a motion blur. I need to learn the terminology still :-[

Looks really nice CombatKing, especially with the scroller and the wireframe spider together. Music is very nice too. Thanks for the greet and good luck in the compo :)

Thanks everyone.

I changed the music at the last minute - the original choice was a bit rubbish.
