HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ok, well you might remember me telling you guys a while ago I was working on recreating the animation from a scene of Dragon Ball Z for my "Diploma Of Screen". What I'm doing is remaking the scene with 2D animation composited into 3D environments. The 2D image sequence would be rigged onto a camera in Maya, so it fits into the scene accordingly. The aim of the assignment isn't to mix 2D and 3D, it's to build a dynamic animation situations... Smoke, rocks breaking, explosions, wind.. That kind of stuff (psychics simulation).

I know it looks traced, but I was aiming for a VERY similar look to the original, so I was replicating it as close to the original as I could from reference. Go here if you don't believe me for some strange reason http://www.sheezyart.com/view/1253928/

..The flashy background thing is going as soon as the 3D backgrounds are ready.. I'll post the final result here later when it's completed.
