I started in this last night.  I wanted to make an walking steam-powered droid. It orginally had more than 3 legs but I thought it looked a little more old and "steam-powered" kind of like in the movie 'Wild Wild West"

any tips?

yeah I was gonna do the smoke idea. little puffs, cute. But it's balanceable, or else it would fall over, and is it falling over? jk... but the two back legs are spread far apart, so it's balanced.

So okay, I decided to take the animation a step further by shading the top. I still have to shade the legs, as you can see below in the looping animation:



And THEN I decided to go all out and make a fun little retro gun pop out of it's skull like so:


That took forever... seriously ;)

so all I have left to do is shade the legs, combine the animation in, and AA everything :D

But you could shade the legs and the "downpart" of the body. Otherwise I say it's very cool! Keep the nice work up!

Okay the reason the motion trails were happening was because it was transparent. So I made it have a background, if someone could make the green background transparent, that would be great :)

Here you go ryan:

And I must say, it is a splendid animation, good work.

have you seen war of the worlds? i say move the leg in the front to the back then make them move like the tripods in the movie.
