RENDERER USED: 
    pure 3dsmax scanline renderer

TOOLS USED: 
    rhino,photoshop,afterfx

CREATION TIME: 
    few evenings

HARDWARE USED: 
    single out-of-date Pentium 100

ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 


Animation was rendered in 200x150 @ 30 fps.
Quality is poor in parts - because of mpeg compression - so it means
that sometimes during animation some shit appears.

The animation shows the meaning of life - the begining and of course - the end.
It's not very complicated but looks well and funny...
It was created just for fun!


VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 
    Windows media Player plays the animation VERY BADLY

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 


I used my Rhino model of two main characters in the animation.
The rest of stuff,lights and cameras - were done in 3dsmax.
Animation was set in 3dsmax using keyframing and path deform technique.
Title, credits and subtitles were created in photoshop and added to main
animation in afterfx - this is the only post processing used.
I DID NOT USED POSTPROCESSING TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF RENDERED FRAMES.
