My first time animating in 3D - hopefully it will turn out ok! I am re-animating a short film I did at university, although I have designed the characters and environment again and changed a lot of animation, the basic idea is still the same. I really wanted to do something quickly - with simle characters so I could get animating as soon as possible, so I spent very little time on models and textures. The old version is here if you are interested! It is rubbish tho!
