@xto (or should i say Christoper) well next time you are fooling you might wanna reconsider using condescending words like "Nigerians, always criticizing from the beef angle" as if you are some form of evolved or mutated alien life form. frankly i think those were quite generous and mild criticisms you received and its only because of the support your fellow animators on this forum want you to enjoy. nobody is here to discourage you or interested in seeing you fail especially as its apparent that you had something to do with the production. but if you really wanna survive in just about any field of endeavor one thing you have to learn is to take criticism well. no need to get emotional about it. spend 50 years with all the best software's in the world and if you don't use it right you wont get it right. the artist will always be the biggest tool. it doesn't matter what you are using but there are just basics of animation that have to be applied to make it work that seem to be missing here. as mentioned by others kudos for at least putting something out there but the animation is not pleasing to be frank. and an average video game is even too good for this animation by my assessment. certainly not up to the ones Ive been playing lately anyway. the parts where motion capture files or other animation from libraries were used were kinda ok but the parts where you had to use key-frame animation yourselves mostly were no good. eg the eagle flying which obviously you had to do manually was bad with very linear and robotic looking animation. there seem to be no regard for the use of curves in the animation interpolation. i would commend you for putting the models and textures as well as scenes together , perhaps even for rigging. but as for the animation and even lighting. it needs to be improved. ill still say congrats for making history on Nigerian TV anyway. i hope you make enough cash from this one so you can get it right or better next time.

and they had to wait till the day before election to go public. and kill whatever chances their candidate has of securing the ticket. makes perfect sense. atiku might be gay but he didn't get to where he is today by him and his associates waving it in the air.
typical Nigerian cows being shepherded by a single dog

max might be a screwdriver and c4d a power drill but truth be told from what we see on this forum. c4d users on this thread have no case compared to what the max users have put forward. obviously a skilled person can use a screw driver even far better than another can with a power drill. i mean look at this thread or any c4d thread on the forum. all i see is people arranging premade stuff and hitting render. i don't even see anybody try to model anything. and many of the guys here seem simply bitter that they tried to tame max and woefully failed and are all too pleased that they have accomplished something on c4d. the fact that you failed doesn't mean its wack as there are still people doing far greater things than some lousy fruits and juxtaposing premade furniture and text. the software is just a tool not a member of your tribe. final output will always depend on the user. so stop all this rooting for nonsense.

yeah making it public just so they can outlaw themselves and take to their heels. makes a lot of sense. talk about nigerian dumbest criminals. no wonder you are so proud of them. i might have graduated from the man's class but that doesnt change the fact that you are willing to be the greedy immoral criminal animal that you are in the name of justice. come to think of it are u sure u are not one of them by the way you keep trying to advocate criminal justice?

lagerwhenindoubt:

What you are saying is that the Lecturer should not have taken the law into his own hands by threatening and actually failing the girl even after she had sex with him  . Did you expect the lecturer to table a request with the Academic Staff Union that he wants to sleep with the girl or fail her I truly miss your logic there.

wtf? was that supposed to make sense? oh i see you are mad that the lecturer refused to honor his end of the bargain. that's your definition of logic? guess i wanna stay illogical then.

lagerwhenindoubt:

Then you go on to say that in-spite of his guilt in the matter, So the Lecturers who threaten the future of their students unlawfully have nothing to make up for in morales and you placed the burden of exposing these seedy lecturers on the girls  . Well guess what. someone had the guts to risk it all and expose this Revered Knight of Mulumba, a Family man and a Lecturer given the responsibility to guide the future of this generation's youth. and you @reactor feels that the victims are kidnappers and scum. I pray you have a daughter who studies in the Engineering Department of Ekpoma and is exposed to Sexual Harassment. Let us see how you will handle it then. 

well it seems to me you lack the ability to read a whole post and make sense from it collectively. guess it must have been pretty convinient to cut it up to make your reply seem sensible. I GO TO SCHOOL is not the same as I DO NOT GO TO SCHOOL and yet only one word is absent. mind you i'd be the proudest dad if my daughter should fail and be kicked out of school as opposed to stupidly agreeing to sleep for her grades . when your daughter goes to university you will probably be urging her "make sure u sleep with all the lecturers so you get A's oh." with minds like yours im not surprised the problem persists.

Druss:

yes it does in a society where law enforcement has failed - in a society where the checkers are part of the corrupt crime.

You call them scum - I congratulate them. No wonder females who are despoiled in Nigeria refuse to come out and talk when we have barbaric homo erectuses like the above poster.

There is no longer any form of justice in Nigerian Unis. When people are unable to get justice the legal way - OF COURSE this is what will happen. Still serves the bastards who forsook their teaching oaths and misused their teaching privilege. May they continue to be exposed. An honest and righteous man has nothing to fear from such.

Basically in a lawless society where no one answers for terrible crimes, it is justified to fight fire with fire until those in supposed authority begin to understand why we should have laws that actually protect people.

ok supreme specie. i see your kind has evolved to the extent of regarding seeking justice with kidnap,extortion,blackmail and nudity rolled up into one. if what they did was justice i don't know why they took to their heels when the video and news leaked out and got to the police. you talk about being exposed however it doesn't seem like that was part of their plan. guess we should all lock up people in our house and force them to sign a check take nude photos and still settle witnesses because they did not honor an agreement. you sound like those people that just kidnap people that kidnap innocent people and ask for silly amounts simply because some people are driving jeep and your are not. why wont your congratulate your brother's on a successful job? that is what happens when criminals take opportunity of ills of society. you don't fight crime with crime ignoramus!

its disgusting how criminally minded people from this part of the country are. how are we not even sure the stupid girl did not offer him sex for her grades. she obviously lacks any sort of modesty or shame. its even possible she willingly offered sex to pass and the man failed her to teach her a lesson. even if he initiated it. did he use a gun on her head? its annoying how some girls act like they dont have a choice. the sooner they learn to stand against these advances the sooner the menace will get stamped out. its only still manifesting because many girls are more than willing to sleep for their grades. the stupid shameless flock. why they sleep for just about anything. or even nothing. even if the man is guilty does that warrant all the stupid harlots and hoodlums to barbarically take the law into their own hands and greedily and criminally try to cash in on the opportunity. supid fools. i hope they get arrested and sent to jail for kidnap and assault. useless scum of society trying to hide under the cloak of a sensitive issue.

honestly i thing the moderator of this thread is an apology! absolutely no use whatsoever. just look at the section. its a mess!

oh you mean playing around with andrew kramer!

jido2k:

Its a site where you can advertise stuff and I did so. I am still in need of the game, so if there is someone out there who can get please contact me!

do not prevaricate the point. the issue is not whether you are just advertising or just trying to make an easy buck .its just business and i get that. its just insulting to think we are gullible ignoramuses to swallow ur silly lie about future game console development when you clearly have little knowledge if it. no point lying when you dont have to. the truth will set you free. good luck with the game.

why is it so rare and valuable?
only 2000 copies are believed to have been produced, of which it is estimated that 200 copies reached consumers before being recalled. Today, collectors who follow the online sale of rare video games believe that fewer than 20 complete copies of the game exist, only two of which are known to be factory sealed.

trust me he never wants the pc rom version.  i guess its just a big bang chance or coincidence that that happens to be the rarest and most expensive nes game on auction today huh. i mean you cant use the emulator rom to do your "future console development"    (whadda lodda crap) maybe you just want to have to buy a usb nes catridge reader and copy the same game rom you dont want to do your "development". guess you know nothing of the fact that a copy of the game recently sold for $41,300 on e bay and several others were and still selling for $13,000 on the same online auction site. wow five hundred pounds is a ton of money man  . and yes we nigerians are gaming enthusiasts indeed!

Behind bobo:

@reactor,why do u think he doesnt need vray,if this can be done within a short period of getting vray, dont u think it ll be very good if he can master vray has he did with mental ray?

i rally hav nothing gainst vray but i think he said he did it with mental ray and not v ray and i've seen a lot of crappy well not too good v ray stuffs around hence my response.

CGKing:

im saying goodbye to mental ray and max, and welcome to maya and vray with this max and mray image.

3. Critics - Take a break for now! Even Hardcore Cold-hearted critics should have a warm spot somewhere which they should spare to share some love. 

ehen. me ba?  ok oh!

anyhow calling it a competition it should have a prize or at least a reward dont you think?

melvi:

So are we gonna see your work anytime soon

dont count on it kid. it wont change the fact that you are mad at me. but then u never know u might have actually seen my works b4 and just dont know it.
i see u edited your foreign forum post so people wont see. sharp guy!
just curious tho, mudbox does'nt do retopology?(no sarcasm here i really dont know)

aphek:

@reactor
it takes awhile (maturity) to really put up your work for scrutiny and accept criticism from the community.

well said!

i dont know if you are a hypocrite or what you seemed to agree with at least some of my previouse posts

reactor:

for gods sake if you wanna teach the least you could do is post some of your works or a link to a portfolio so people may know what level you are at. but you just want people to take your word for it and just come with their 50 k and for what a lousy training and a couple of pirated dvd's.

melvi:

I agree,a portfolio is important so that prospective learners can be able to see your work and determine whether if they take lessons from u and your crew,their work will be as good as yours when they are through with the program.If u have a portfolio,that is.

now all of a sudden im useless and suck eh!
when adamu suggested u shud work on your lighting. you insisted that is actually what you are going for.  then when i gave you my own opinion. you came and threw around dirt then in between tried to explain to me that its not easy and render takes several hours and gloriously kissed some asses of the guys u could remember who seem to have more c.g warheads than u. kind of like signing a treaty to make sure they dont attack u or more appropriately set u straight. its an archetypal scenario iv seen it too many times on this forum.  i myself will certainly find it hard to tell you the truth if you become a loyal dog like that.and bearing in mind that im the only one who directly told you your lighting is harsh and very c.g you went to the so called all high and mighty non Nigerian forum and asked them basically the same thing i told you
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2615482#post2615482
not that anyone bothered to answer u or even comment on your work.  anyway that shows that even now you consider my feedback which is what my comment is if you will look beyond my undiplomatic approach, a feedback! great artists know how to use this to their advantage.adamu didn't even reply you again and and you still came back and reversed your self from your standpoint that that was what you are going for to that you messed it up in post in vegas. probably u realized your denial. i don't care if you produce rubbish just dont come and talk to us like we are stupid or something. otherwise I'd be happy to let you bask in your kingdom of self deceit
oh by the way just because motion builder is used in avatar doesn't mean you will get the same result from it. they simply used it to aid and clean up their motion capture workflow. you dont even use mo-cap and i don't see how you can be a good animator if you dont master the regular key-framing animation and use of curves in maya which is your choice app. but go ahead and try it. i just dont think it will help you the way you think it will.at least you are not buying a genuine package anyway so the only thing u willl be wasting is your time.

15 hours oh boy nepa try for u oh

melvi:

The lightning was what I was going for.It might appear dark on some monitors due to screen settings.

in other words there is nothing wrong with your work and all our monitors suck! dude the work is ok (at best) but not amazing. the lighting looks very harsh and cg. learn to take advice and improve on ur work. lets not keep celebrating mediocrity.

i dunno if uv noticed but usually, im the first to jump on this sort of  stuff .matter of fact u just beat me to it and my mind was with your post all the way until your last line. that was totally uncalled for(my opinion). sounds like one of those pointless excuses to fight in those old school Chinese movies.you should hav tried just a tad bit more to hold that vanity in. i dunno but sounds to me like it has been killing u inside and u just had to let loose.everyone knows your not on the same level as him (from what we've seen) i just hope u havnt let that get to your head. i could be wrong but this is a public forum and i just say it the way i see it.

nd.gfx:

And before you even think you can call me out to battle with you, know this :- you're a weakling before my eyes.

talk of self contradiction. this is ur ideah of humility?

adeclem i just went to ur site. nice looking but umm, is there actually any work there that you guys did? just a lot of stuff to read and nothing really inspiring. except maybe im missin something

NWFX:

@aphek

cat allows you to animate quickly because of its animation layering system which isn't present or very clunky in max.

max had animaton layering since max 9 sp2. its even maya that just included it in 2010. you could even increase the weight of the animation you layered to a level that even tears your character apart or even go negative to do the reverse effect of your animation i.e u could turn a slight hop into a slight squat, do other layers and bake the final animation when u are satisfied with the whole thing.u could also build a scalable facial rig that you could resize and fit without messing up the space matrix. i find those even more customisable to the character and have option of addendums. thats not to say that cat is not useful for certain stuff tho.

i see so your really think ur the only one?

nigerninja:
@zPixelwhat an imprudent way of talking, before now what was your intention, to bring the case to notice and i guess now is sabotage? i wonder how the scam will be even though there's any how absurd why don't u try to be resourceful & productive with urself, i know you cant do it but try oooo, should u like to confirm my profile and portfolio then give me a call n i will invite you to my studio so as to get you a job. i even wonder what u do anyway maybe you are right that anybody offering something on the forum without proof of portfolio or some client's record is a SCAMMER, and your ass is on the watch it's so pathetic that your level of destruction could only end here , man get a life. maybe you can apply for the program, i wont charge you that much.men am out. definitely looking forward to some wacky replies from you cuss i know u no dey hear word. not trying to be rude but i dont like the guy's manner of thinking.

are you this much in denial or is it your  ignorance and your apparent criminal inclination that simply impedes your sense of logic, if you wanted to know what excatly zpixel is up to in terms of 3d. all you had to do was  follow the link to his blog at the foot of his posts. (probably missed that again as u are obviously quite sloppy) judging from that and posts on this forum from way back id say he is much more accomplished than you and is probably still trying to up his game rather than hastily attempt to swindle people out of their money with skills he does'nt have and i think its you who should go to him for traininig not that i think you have the i.q to cope with the demands of serious 3d work. so bloddy what you have a couple of maya dvd's. what was the plan? to memorise a thing or two and over it again then give copies of those dvd's to your victims?. i swear to god its because of people like you that nigerians are seen as criminals ant they have every right to. its so disgusting that every stupid fool will have no other motivation but greed.  you shamelessly were even telling us to go away if we  are smart and let the gullible next in line fall for your scam.for gods sake if you wanna teach the least you could do is post some of your works or a link to a portfolio so people may know what level you are at. but you just want people to take your word for it and just come with their 50 k and for what a lousy training and a couple of pirated dvd's. whats the plan to go and buy a ride with the 500k from ten people or what? i dont blame you you probably just realizing that you have permanently stained your name on this forum and is desperately trying to save your ass. some things just cant be undone. you are lucky that its just on the forum and not on the real world. i hope you take a lesson and learn from your actions. dont bother about asking me what i hav accomplished to you i would gladly say i have done absolutely nothing with my life because you are just not worth the hassle really.
