Alright, so Hew just announced that he's gonna host an unofficial RHG tourney. Theres gonna be no prize but fun. The end of April's the end for signing up which gives me and anyone else plenty of time to think and sign up. Who's up for it?

Quote from TheBlaman

That sounds sick!! I'm totally in!! Link?

Quote from Hewitt

If ya'll haven't heard about it in the IRC yet, yes. The rumors are true. I AM hosting an RHG Tournament. An Unofficial One. That means, I'm acting on my own, there are no sponsorships, and there will be no cash prize involved.

If the above doesn't satisfy you, then don't participate and respect the event as a means for people to have some fun.


Still here? Alright then. Here are my requirements:

Sign-Up Form
1) A link to your RHG. The one that you will be using for the remainder of the tourney. NO RHG Page, NO Slot.

2) A demo roughly 20-30 seconds showcasing your RHG. DO NOT use your existing demo. It has to be something from scratch, something that hasn't already been posted. Do not pour your heart into it but do not half-ass it at the same time. I am looking for a taste, not the meal.

If it's purportedly from a clan collab or anim that you are currently working on or some shit, then you may use that...at your own risk. Realize that I will be using the demo to gauge how willing you are to participate. The demo will also be used to seed you in the tournament. So if it sucks or is rushed, you will be paired up with a Pro in Round 1 and you will die early.

What is the purpose of a balanced bracket? If stone and Terk were the first matchups ever, do you think you would participate further knowing very well who is going to win? A balanced bracket will make sure the Pro's aren't paired too early so there will still be an equal chance of winning.




The deadline for signups is END OF APRIL. If I do not have the requisite number of entries by then, there will NOT be a tournament. I am looking for 8 OR 16 participants for an even bracket. Any less, and there shan't be a tourney. Any more, and I will cut the excess.

Spread the word. Make your entries. And I'll see you all soon if this goes well.

Hewitt out.

Hewitt PM'd me and presumably a few others, I'll post what he wrote here:

it sounds like it could be fun...I don't know though, don't think i'm good enough to enter one of those yet lol

Quote from Nanite

You got nothing to lose, I'm sure that there'd be other beginner animators that are gonna enter as well, the only thing that could hold a person back would be if they're too busy or such, like me :(

@Blaman Nice job! I'll put it up front, I like your fire effects but avoid the stop-and-go motion if you can.

Quote from TheBlaman

Thanks!! I was surprised i could do a quarter-decent fire effect on my first try. What do you mean by stop-and-go motion?

Quote from Nanite

Like the anticipation to the fire kick, and after the kick itself. You multiframed the kick instead of easing up which makes him look stiff and unnatural. Perhaps add more frames with more slight, but conspicuous movement. :D

Quote from TheBlaman

I see. More of a slingshot type deal... you pull back until the tension kicks in, and you slow down gently, and bend... then let her rip! and maybe after the kick, the mommentum can make Roll bounce backwards a little.

Quote from Nanite

Hmm perhaps, I can see that a bit, but you'll have to showcase that in your next animation so that we can study it further.

Quote from Valerian

nice dude!!! way better fire than mine lol
