I'd hate to be the one to point this out but it doesn't seem to fit in with any of the explosions ingame. It would probably be better than what I could do, but I don't see any real use for this. QUICK_EDIT

It's terrible. It has no definition, no real start and end state, no "burnout" or "smokeout", not in the correct angle, too jumpy, and is too simple.
Your best bet is to actually utilize the abilities of photoshop (or equivilant program) rather than just paint or .shp builder. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
Hahaha, kid, leave the animations making to those with skill or go back and practice tons more until you show your magnificent work again.
Hahaha, kid, shut it. Seems like the only thing you're good at is acting like a prick.
The only 2 people here to give real criticism for this guy to improve were M7, and Darkstorm. Rest of you should keep your mouths shut. Everybody starts somewhere, and when people like Apollo put people down for trying new things it ruins future modders. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

*Claps*
Also, I think you need to recreate it, and make it fit with TS' angle. _________________ Please, I DON'T read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
In all honesty, no-one wants Explode2. Anyone with a bit of practical sense can tell how poor this animation is. It reminds me of some SHP sprites I did in 2005 when I had no experience with any graphics software aside from MSPaint. Fortunatelly I wasn't eager/stupid enough to post them because there honestly was no point to do that.

That may be, but it's also instructive to tell someone not to do something, and in this case post animations like Explode 2. Would you be happy when a kid painted stick figures onto your white walls with red paint, and not nag about it as it "may harm" the kid's creativity? _________________ QUICK_EDIT
And so you criticize him for even posting? You lot sound like Icyson.
Nobody may want the explosion animation, but people can offer tips on how he can improve. If you just insult him and say his works are trash then it's a discouragement to even try and improve.

Repaint them white walls to white.
Give him a canvas or sketchpad to put his creativity onto. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

I'll quote what I said before. I'm not trying to bash you (like Joshy suggested.. maybe he doesn't have the ability to understand the complexity of my post.)
Take a look at explosion images and try to emulate the general shape, form, and colors of them. Like i said previously. This has no general definition. Also, the animation is horribly off-angled. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
Joshy my anims works are all out there so i know what i am talking about kid! so sharing crap is worthless waste of space, nothing more nothing less.
In any case if the guy improves then his stuff is worth posting for share, until then it is media hut showcase for opinions material.
Edit: it is better but lack of detail and use of limited few colors doesn't help much. Last edited by ApolloTD on Sat Jan 01, 2011 6:48 am; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
I changed it. I know, you guys hate me. I don't give a damn.
Yeah, the best way to respond to criticism is to take it all as personal offense.
Yeah.. Last time I defend somebody..

I'm sorry, but there was nothing complex about that. At any rate, you did give good criticism I just lumped everyone together.

Fair enough, man. I really don't know who's posted what out there in the community though, so I'm oblivious to what's floating around in terms of assets that have been shown. QUICK_EDIT

Still, go back to your first version; the rotation looks ridiculous, and as I said, rotation is totally unrelated to the viewing angle. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

(Poor criticism thats why i never post anything) QUICK_EDIT
