Voting for the April animation competition has begun! This month has 267 great entries for you to rate and enjoy, have fun going through them!

You must be registered to vote, and we strongly encourage all voters to use a modern, standards-compliant web browser (Firefox, Safari, etc). This site has known problems with Internet Explorer.

The voting system is set up to encourage people to rate each entry, so if you skip an entry without rating it, you'll see it come up over and over on the voting page until you do. Once you've rated all the entries, you'll have the chance to go back to any of the entries to view or re-rate them.

You don't have to do all your voting at once, the system will remember where you are if you leave and come back.

If you have time, you're welcome to leave a critique or comment on the entries, but please be constructive. Negative feedback is fine, but explain what you don't like about the animation. Commenting is only available during the voting round, and will be displayed on entries when voting ends.

Congratulations to everyone who entered the April competition, and remember that the winner of this month's competition will win an eCritique of their entry from one of AnimationMentor's professional animators! Good luck everyone!

May Competition

2013-05-01T04:00:01+00:00

The May Character Animation Competition has begun!

This month's clip has a great delivery, and should be open to many different interpretations.

In order to spend the majority of your time on the animation, please take advantage of the free character rigs we've linked to in the Resources section, and avoid spending a lot of time on lighting/rendering/etc.

Entries can be character animations in any medium, from CG animation (Maya, 3DS Max, Blender, Animation:Master, etc.) to traditional 2D animation to stop-motion. Consider posting your progress videos in the Work in Progress forum. Feedback and criticism will make your animation stronger!
