That did take so many hours to acquire such skill... really good walk, er, run cycle on that robo Gman, and he's so retro to boot

Gman

you make it look so easy but man that is DIFFICULT to get right - excellent!

Things are difficult only when you're starting to learn it... then it becomes an obsession and quitting becomes the difficult part...
Actually, animating 3d for gif animations are easier for me because I am actually creating only a limited amount of keyframes. So I could cheat with the poses and if I can't get something right in 3d, I could edit the pic in 2d and be done with it... It's not like I'm creating full featured movie, after all.
Here's the robot doing backflips.

Haha, Bob's cardboard box robot reminded me of a chapter from a book I've read long ago when I was a kid. "Henry and the Paper Route"? I think. Henry made a cardboard robot suit to keep his friend Beezus' little sister Ramona out of his hair...
Hans, that one reminds me of Pixar's lamp.
