    RWBY Review: V4E3-Of Runaways and Stowaways

    I would argue that the fight scene's editing was absolutely horrid. Absolutely no flow, as it keeps on jerking about not letting the viewer keep track of time and space. Has nobody commented on how RT cut from Blake firing at the Grimm's back to bullets hitting the Grimm's face? Personally that...

    RWBY Review: V4E2-Rememberance

    Um, "cure" him first instead of taking 15 seconds talking about whether or not it's worth it to do so? It's not like again, they were aware of any external threats at the time that would have made transporting him difficult, and it is better to try and save/preserve one's life rather than...

    RWBY Review: V4E2-Rememberance

    Did like the use of matte paintings at least. Better than the 3D backgrounds. Could have had better compositing though. More logical inconsistencies. I struggle to conceive of a Watsonian reason for the video to exist as it does on Jaune's Scroll. It's implied that she's aware of Jaune's...

    RWBY Review: V4E1-The Next Step

    Yeah, I mean the animation's got a lot of problems still, even with the higher production values. The outlines are done differently and I'll have to say that I preferred Monty's method way more. The shading is also wonky as heck, and the animators don't understand flow. I never liked RWBY's...

    Do you still read web comics?

    To clarify, when you make a pledge on Patreon, you can access the content *before* your payment is processed. This means you have people pledging higher tiers, getting the content, and then changing their pledge back to the minimum or canceling their pledge. Meaning while your page publicly says...

    Former RWBY Animator Shane Newille Releases Personal Account on RWBY's Production

    So JJ, Mercury's old VA, came forward with a statement of his own on the matter:

    Former RWBY Animator Shane Newille Releases Personal Account on RWBY's Production

    True, but it is important to note that Monty developed tools to make animation easier and was experimenting with implementing Catmull subdivision for better visual fidelity in Volume 3 but RT rejected them in their pipeline, if what Shane is saying is true. And it's not like RT is completely...

    Do you still read web comics?

    Considering how Patreon has multiple problems like assholes getting content before they pay, combined with brats who feel entitled to everything the creator's put out and complain when their behavior is called out, I feel subscription-based models may not work in the long run, not until things...

    Former RWBY Animator Shane Newille Releases Personal Account on RWBY's Production

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-H0KuOwKFYwZTJxbXg0SG5CTEE/view?pref=2&pli=1 This has been causing quite a stir in the RWBY community and it wasn't released that long ago. It's important to note that a lot of this information isn't verifiable and it's unlikely RT will speak out on this...

    Justice League Movie Villain May Not Be Darkseid

    I think a better idea would be to have the Justice League fight alternate versions of themselves, while simultaneously opening the audience up to the idea of parallel universes. The Justice Lords and the Crime Syndicate were some of the best parts of the Justice League cartoon, and DC has the...

    Do you still read web comics?

    Hmm, actually I haven't in a long time. I used to be fanatical about the webcomics I read five years ago and I remember wanting to start my own webcomic, but the internet's landscape has changed so quickly that nowadays I feel completely dissociated from the scene. Advertising is no longer a...

    RWBY plagiarizing from MMD models(?)

    OK, I'm not understanding where you're coming from, if this is a legal defense, but I find it highly unlikely and implausible that "visually similar material" could be made meticulously; it's just more efficient to copy and modify it. There are the textures taken as well. And generally when the...

    RWBY plagiarizing from MMD models(?)

    1) People really get 2D and 3D animation mixed up a lot. No, you can't just assume because you can draw a face similarly on a flat piece of paper the same should apply for 3D modeling. The "it's anime" excuse doesn't work when you can potentially copy a sculpted head outright poly for poly in...

    RWBY plagiarizing from MMD models(?)

    So this blew up last month. http://pre08.deviantart.net/101c/th/pre/i/2016/007/a/3/notice_anything__rwby_stealing__by_dannapmx-d9n26bt.png General consensus from the RWBY reddit is that the user was wrong, because "RWBY was modeled in a different modeling program" and "it's anime."...

    Google Hires 4chan Founder Chris Poole

    Thank you for clarifying this, I hate seeing that misconception. Liberals should just man up and accept that there are *gasp* conservative forums instead of retreating into their hugboxes because they can't handle opposing viewpoints. But anyways, on this matter, moot just has to catch up...
