    I’m on it ;)

  5. goeland86 Said,

    hey I’m not in it, but can we post the entries on the site as part of a “student gallery”, Dipingo?
    I think that’d be good for student morale and to get people to see how it helps people.

  6. curtisd85 Said,

    i am so excited to actually have one of my animations on a site other than youtube. VOTE for ME!

  7. skul3r Said,

    Go! mr. Wilson!!! =P thats my boy! lol

  8. curtisd85 Said,

    i love the mr. wilson idea. that is amazing.

  9. curtisd85 Said,

    i figured since i was going back to shorten the length a little i might as well change the background and make it a bit more interesting instead of just black. ;p

  10. dipingo Said,

    These are all really good. You guys should be proud of the fact that not, only did you learn this very complicated subject, but now you have the tools to make some very advanced animations. Voting will begin next week and we will run it for one week. Then the winner will be announced.
    Congratulations to all of you.

  11. Daniel Wray Said,

    It was a hard decision, i love all of them, it looks like everyone has a firm grasp on the hair system, well done all :)

  12. banor Said,

    curtis, changing the background was a great idea. It helped the animation. I voted for your submission. :)

  13. curtisd85 Said,
