Thanks you guys, glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Satrip, I did a most of it in Mirage. I created a looping animation (similar to the one in my avatar) in Mirage, then exported it to Quicktime. In blender you can wrap an object with an animation and set it to loop. That is how I created the animated spheres. The dolphin sphere was created the same way, using a dolphin swim cycle I created a few years back in Mirage. Then I brought the spheres back into mirage and created an animbrush out of them, and set them on their path using the keyframer. Using the same animated sphere animbrush, I put a few in different areas in the field on a few different layers where I played with some color corrections till I got a range that I liked. I flattened out those layers and then used the kaleidescope for the abstract background. I really like the fabric texture in the paper panel so I used that on the background. I just drew the little frame by hand in Mirage as well. The fonts in the beginning I ran through the wrapping grid. I also threw an omni light on a motion path to highlight different areas of the fonts in the beginning. So really most of it was done in Mirage. Wow! That answer really turned out long winded. I have a few other cool spheres I made while learning. Its been fun, but the learning curve in blender, leaves me with sore brain muscles sometimes. I have had Mirage all this time and have yet to do one human walk cycle. Guess its because I prefer wasting my time doing this sort of thing. One of these days though!!!!
