Hmm. Now not taking either side. But from what I can see, I might see abit of what Adam is talking about.
The branch on the left and the ninja himself would be the examples I would use the strongest. But it seems to appear anywhere from the transition of black to green. the entire outline pretty well, of the left branch is traced with the darker greens. Exposing next to no black to the actual scene. AA does not need to have alot of colours. You can use numerous different colours, or one. It is simply the process of softening the edges. Any amount of softness added, would be considered AA. Generally I only AA with 1 colour. To use effective AA, it is a cross between methodology and vision. It is simply not to trace the outline of something, with a transition colour. Rather, add softening to places that need it, such as corners, or curves. This is seen in the logo aswell. Its as if you inverted the colouring. Instead of using black outlines for your coloured area. you use a coloured outline for your black area. This I would then think, would be more of selout, rather than AA.
hopefully that might have made alittle sense. Thats the only bit that I could percieve from it. Like I said though, im not taking sides. I personally think it looks fine, and the overall image looks great. But I can also see where Adam is coming from.
The only thing that bugs me, is the flip animation. seems to jerky to me.
Adam - I don't get it... I checked you portfolio and you have some really nice stuff in there - so I would think you know what you are talking about...
AdamAtomic... that's just plain nuts.. in order to do AA you need more colours... this animation has 4 colours and yes... I tried to smoothen the edges a little but I wouldn't call it AA and definetly not too much AA...
Thanks, guys... I am currently looking at a fast way to pump out the art to make it into the competition... might go on the "dark side" and work with vectors :)
