Description This is my final for my Vector class; an interactive illustration! Enjoy!!

The whole thing was inspired by Charles R. Knight's paintings, particularly this one . The Smilodon's pose I ripped from his very famous Smilodon painting as an homage to him. God, that man was awesome!

Anyways! Every animal in this piece has been found in the La Brea tar pits. We've got some dire wolves, a Smilodon, a teratorn, a pair of ground sloths, and some columbian mammoths in the background.
My sister coached me on the animation for the Smilodon and the ground sloth that stands up. She also did the flies for me. Thanks sis!
My instructor also helped me with the tricky things, like making the clouds loop seamlessly, the clickability of the carcass, and moving the teratorn around.


This was SO much fun to do, and I can't wait to make another one!

You know, after I made this I always intended to make another one. I would need to review my notes from class, though, because I don't remember quite how I made this one

Wow! Very neat, very professional. O_O


Tiny kudos for making a vanishing (yum yum) carcass both realistic but simplified and not gory at all (okeis for the little kiddies). With flies and everything (i really like the carcass, let me be -_-).


No, but seriously, everything looks great!

Good job on the animations and interactivity, Flash can be a pain sometimes ย Your click animations flow smoothly to and from your idle ones, it really adds to interactive pieces like this. ย Hope you got/get an amazing grade!
