Free

I'm very enthusiastic about getting into the Animation department in my college, some of faculty members are encouraging me, i showed them my animations and they liked it. one of them told me: "Flash is just a tool, you must not let it control your works".. so meaningful thing to say.. but for me it doesn't mean i have to stop using Flash, now I'm getting more adjusted to it, and specially it's time line, even for a frame by frame animation it's more flexible and easy. Flash is giving me complete control over my work, it's setting me free!

This is one more animation I did with Macromedia Flash.

Ancient Egypt

I've always been fascinated with ancient Egyptian culture. while studying pharaonic art and architecture in college, I collected the aspects of the legend of Isis & Osiris. I've so  many sketches and concepts about this legend. these backgrounds and character designs where done using Flash!

Macromedia Flash

I found what I'm searching for.. Macromedia Flash is the solution to all my problems. at last a decent animation software with interface that doesn't drive you nuts. and it's totally me I'm feeling it.

This software's power is beyond anything I've seen.. you can create your animations from A to Z and you can draw, design and animate simultaneously, I'm talkin about drawing your animationand timing it and syncronize it to sound in the same time!!

The structure of the software is an invention.. the library thing is genius, but the most marvelous feature is.. the TIME LINE, goodbye inconvenient, uncomfortable Xsheet.

The vector art has been always my favorite, it gives you quality and it needs less processing.

This is my first animation, it's not that good, very short, possibly meaningless. But Hey.. this is my FIRST animation.. and I am very happy with it.

3ds Max

I've been learning and using 3ds Max for more than a year now. actually I'm still through modeling. animation is a far target to get to, right now there is too much to know about modeling, materials, lighting and rendering. it's a huge software.. i can't call it a tool. it's a Monster! very powerful I know, but.. one can literally get lost in it's interface. this software needs a full team to work with it, everyone specializing in their parts only.

This is a character model for "Horus" an ancient Egyptian Hawk god prince. i did it last year.
