ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 
    Earlier or later I had to make an animated sequence with
the software programs I have. Since IRTC is a good 
place to present graphics and animations, I started with the Creature topic. I
did not do the most important task an animation needs, 
a storyline. I started with a blank screen and mind and was build slowly the
story from scratch. Soon I learned that the creation 
process for a animation is quit different and more complex as the creation of a
still image. I had a hard time with the animation 
timing and the get the right proportions. I believe and hope that my next
project will profit from the made mistakes. By the way, 
the original animation is about 1 minute in lenght, but due to the compitition
restriction I had to cut the movie drastically. 
I hope you enjoy the animation.


VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 
    -none-


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 
    Ray Dream Studio has many
animation tools (spin, warp, bounce,...) already included.
 I was make use plenty of them. Textures are created also with RDS except one,
which was done in Paint Shop Pro. (guess which one). 
I limited the textures quality and apperance to a minimum, since I was like to
make an animation. 
So, if you have a question about how I was do something, drop me an E-Mail.
