>>8743 thanks! yes, i'm saving sound for the real thing, and not the test. also, you are right about timing. i pulled the camera back to see the full scope (it's a really big ship - might scale it down some), instead of a close up on the cow. hopefully, all these things will be resolved in the final piece! :)
>>8742 Ha! looks great, man!
Sound, obviously, will give it a good kick up, but even without it, it works great!
Oh, and maybe a bit of a pause before the cow is sucked into the light, just to give us some time to enjoy the absurdity a little more (and see the cow's reaction, maybe)
As long as we're here, here's a mockup of the textured hunter. The textures WILL change, but the idea will be the same more or less.
(The damn eyebrows look scary as shit, imo)
