Thinks it’s fab…the lack of GI is not realy noticable because the animation is fast and exciting to the eye - little time to sit back and pick holes, as animations should be. This is telling a (granted short) story…not selling the objects in the scene!
I like it. Nice to se ernie. about the animation. I think it´s Ok regarding you have that timeframe. Feels a little slow sometimes.
Although the grass looks like carpet.. it does infact look really good.. haha
Can you shed some light on how you did your grass.. Thanks 
hi, thanks for your comments,
the grass is a blend with a circular gradient as mask for getting these fade-out effect, and nothing more as a bump. 8)
yes you’re right roppin, its a little bit slow sometimes, i think i’am missing a week again for improve the movements. but it was a really funny job.
it was nice to play with those puppets again. :roll:

hmmm not too clear… ahh… was it displaced or vrayfur/hair.
What was the blend map used for?
Did you actually use a grass texture?
Sorry, i just didnt really understand what you said 
sorry, it was my birthday yesterday and a long night with my family,
so there’s still a big clowd in my brain.
the blend map was used for fading out the playground into the simple green Background.
the playground is a vraymtl with a grasstexture in diffuse with 40%,
and same texture as bump map with something like 120.
I’am not in the office now, so i can’t show you the material, but i hope its a bit clearer now.
i can send it to you monday if you like.
hehe yeah thats a fair bit clearer.
Just the playground looks like it has displacement or atleast more than just a bump map.. looks good
p.s. Happy Birthday!!
