Long story short: we just touched animation in class this week, I went overboard and started digging into it a bit more to prepare myself for an animation project with a deadline of October 27.. Instead of waiting for more input on rigging etc I got going on my own and completed the animation this weekend. Plenty of time to make episode #2!

The assignment is "animate a simple (or primitive) object". I made two primitive objects into characters.
It's my first time doing something like this, and I'm sure there are things I could to different and/or better. Your feedback, criticism and ideas for improvement is welcome.

Haha I love it! The ending is awesome. Great excercise!

That's fantastic!

Thank you guys!
I should mention that each frame took about 22 sec to render at 350 passes. Low, I know, but I think it worked out very well for a simple setup like this.

I rendered RGB and a "post process" renderpass so I could add a little extra bloom on top to make it look brighter and softer than the initial render.

It might not be the best benchmark, but I don't have any other good scenes to test on, so when my second Titan comes this week, I'll see how fast it can render, for the fun of it.
