Pixel Joint Forum: Box made with blocks without locks

Message

First is a [more] complete version. Second is the opening animation I'm working on. Pretty simple. But I haven't done a lot of isometric stuff or animations - so I put two and two together and got five.

Not sure if the animation should be split into 4 frames instead.

	Very, very good. Maybe I frame added between frames 1 & 2.

	A plain wooden interior would have been boring [and more work ;p], so I put down a blue cloth. Tis a dainty flower. As for the treasure... that roguish pirate penguin ran off with it!

	cool stuff... imo I think the animation is a bit too fast. edited the speed a bit... maybe more like this? Edited by MiDiaN - 09 December 2006 at 10:10pm

	Some Ideas... Make the cloth red! Add a lock and a hinge. Maybe put some treasure inside? (Please?) Make the beginning of the animation slow, and then make it faster at the end. This will give a more realistic feel. On frame 2 of the opening sequence, the gold trim seems a little... much. Here is what I'd do to fix it... Well thats it, I guess.

	I should get around to adding treasure, but I want to finish the box first. :p [And that means I would have to add a lock. Like a little box with holes for a lamb.] Tried to give it a more velvety feel [and made it red], although I am loathe to dither. Not sure if a hinge would be visible though. Slowed it down a bit too. Now I'm having doubts as to whether I improved it or... disproved it. One Man Wrecking Machine. So here's what I was working on today: 5 separate cameo-things. only 2 of which I am satisfied with. if you can name all five, awesome. Edited by thesalus - 10 December 2006 at 7:11pm

	I gotta say that Blackdragon and Fool hit exactly what I was thinking. Dragon's "ye olde gold" was great, and the bounce on Fool's closing edit is equally fantastic.

	-> How's that? Tried making it a deeper red and fixing the shadows. And made it bounce a bit (stole one of your frames if that's okay :p). Added some gems to the treasure. Edit: repositioned the treasure a bit. see if that's better. and thanks. although I can only take less than partial credit for that. thanks to everyone who critiqued.

	Awesome looking with the bounce. The gems really add to it too.
