Re the whole Anim8or/non-Anim8or thing, as reluctant as I am to weigh in to the argument, I consider it somewhat serendipitous that this animation is actually about inclusion!  Clearly, as hobbyist animators, the Anim8or community can only benefit from seeing animations like this and having the ability to directly address the artist behind it, and I would consider the exclusion of this sort of thread to be extremely unfortunate.  My own opinion, for what it's worth, is that animations with no Anim8or connection should be declared as such, and should be assessed by the Mods for their benefit to the Anim8or community using consistent guidelines.  Alternatively, or additionally, perhaps an "Inspiration" section in the forum could be specifically set up for this type of animation.

As I said, it's just my opinion.  If rogerweikers hadn't posted this animation here I would most likely never have seen it, and that would be a shame.

What he said...

It's a great video. What DID you use to create it?


And as for what headwax said... NEVER call me "too mature"... ;)

headwax:
Oh Arik, sorry I didn't mean you :)

As far as moderator's removing someone's relevant post Kevin? I can't imagine anyone doing that here or at animanon.

We are all too mature I think.

Those mods here know what I am talking about and as for too mature, sometimes it makes me wonder lol.

floyd86:
First I have to say: nice animation rogerweikers. Nice little story line.

Second is the discussion that is going on here: non-anim8or related topics. We moderators and Steve (!) always had a hard time, deciding what to allow and what not.
Steve gave us directions about this issue. We are an anim8or related forum, so posts should be anim8or related: we don't what this to become another 3d forum (which there are enough), but more a forum for help and support, considering anim8or. Of course, since anim8or is a 3d software, it's hard to define which topics aren't really anim8or related.
Posts about other software are allowed, as long there related/relevant to the anim8or community. Posting a trailer to the new toy story movie isn't really anim8or related. Posting a short film like inclusion...well maybe: forum users can learn a lot of this kind of short films, but it doesn't mean we have to post all the shorts we might learn something from (that's where youtube is for).
Also the idea about an chat room or a offtopic board isn't an option: It will only allow spam easly to the forum, which also means more work for the moderators.

Please use your own judgement to decide whether a topic is related to this community or not. Posting some random clips you like isn't relevant and will probably be removed.
I hope this clears some things. Questions can be directed to me, or another moderators, with an personal message.
Please stay on topic here or I will have to lock it.

rogerweikers:
well guys

first of all, THANKS for the comments :-) really a very good feeling of mission accomplished, once you all understood the message and enjoyed the visual, animation etc.

second of all - I'm Brazilian, so my mother tongue is Portuguese, so please forgive me if I make mistakes in English (that's why I chose a mute film - just kidding!)

and finally - I made it all (modeling, animation, light and render) on XSI Softimage. Post production - Photoshop and After Effects. To create the patterns - Illustrator.

You can find some more details of the film at: http://www.rogerweikers.com/eng_inclusao.htm

once again, THANKS A LOT FOR ALL THIS ATTENTION :-)
