combining animations

[Grafixman]

I will definitely look hard for it at the local video rentals.
Placing my silly avatar at the mouth of the beast is proving to be a challenge. The problem is 3d animation is a real beast in itself... . But hey, I'm learning a lot by setting these mini-challenges for myself. Thanks for pointing me to this interesting story, Sally.
Here's a little variation on the first animation on the Black Beast. I was experimenting on ways to combine 2D with 3D.

i hope you keep that little snapping guy on a leash - his bite looks deadly - great job!!!!!!!!!!!

Errr, how about you leash it while I grab the tail....

Aaarrrggghhh....Feeding time!
A little plagiarizing on my part... from the animated gif posted by jamesmc at the 3d forum. http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=21548 Hope he don't mind...
It is the combining animations topic, after all...
All in good fun, though.
Too lazy to rerender a running and snapping beast, so what you see is the result of 2d tweaking of the images I already posted before(the animated one with the beast taking a bite). Just some cutting out and pasting together of some bits and pieces to make it look like the beast is running. Now the Lex Luthor kid have a really good reason for running....

Ahh, you're going to get out of breath.

I Googled and found a cute little Black Beast.

Two peas in a pod; two nuts in a shell.

I didn't sew the little beasty, I am just good at Google. Besides, who is nuttier, the nut who thinks this stuff up or the nut who can't wait to read the next installment?

Yes, we are all a bunch of squirrels round here, sure enuff!! Yes, siree, Bob!

Weeze all in good company here.

hahahahaha, i see your point, and you are right........

My gosh, Bob, look at the number of your posts, almost up to me and it's taken me two more years! Do you have a life after work outside of the computer?

But seriously, from your early posts to now, you have really been developing skill with using the digital artist's tools.
