mohawkade's News

So after sitting on the back-burner for over a year while other projects took priority, I finally got this sucker polished and released. Not as full as I'd like it to be, there's still a ton of content and dialogue I wished to add to it, but wanted this wrapped up and set out for release in October. So perhaps if this got enough hype, I'll make a Part 2 to this.

You can view my animation, "Da Thingus" here on NG or on YouTube.

Please let me know what you think! If you like it, what did you like about it, and what should be improved. Although don't tell me the animation's bad, the animation was intentionally lazy to reflect the quality of the game it's representing.

In Other News:

Got another animation right around the corner, just need to finish it up and add the final touches. And yes, as the picture suggests, it's a "Slender" Parody. I will try my hardest to get this live before the end of October.

Unfortunately the animation is in the form of a Rage Comic, but it helps get the point across.

This video is a Step by Step tutorial on how to hack the latest Nvidia PhysX drivers to support the AGEIA PhysX Card (PPU) again. Which (PPUs) are currently a lot cheaper than buying a High-End Nvidia GPU, if you're too poor to build a Gaming Rig.

If you dunno what a PhysX card is, it's like a video card, but for the laws of physics in a game. Nvidia discontinued using them shortly after they bought AGEIA, but I found a way to hack it back use!

Why? Because this Hack gives you the Ability to play EVERY PhysX Game in HISTORY with Hardware Acceleration Activated! And it always engages with the appropriate games, meaning a PhysX card will only accelerate games meant for a PhysX card and newer PhysX games will only be accelerated by an Nvidia GPU.

You can view the Video HERE

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to show you, after a year's work. My most focused animation yet!

The Revisioning of Escaflowne

Rate it and comment, and let me know what you think! Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!


Posted by mohawkade - April 21st, 2012


Like the title suggests, I just finished one of 4 new animations I'm currently working on.

Love Triangles: Chick Flicks

You can see it here at the link below...

...or on YouTube in the embedded link...

Beyond that, stay tuned for more content coming soon... Sooner than you think!

Granted there are thousands of flash animations on the internet and many of them get plenty of hype there, but not all flash animations are strictly made for the internet.

One famous example is Metalocalypse, yes, the dark humored creation of Brendon Small is animated with Flash. This is explained in the description to the video below. As the author of the video (who is one of the animators at Titmouse) describes how what programs are used to give Metalocalypse it's visual charm.

Besides that, got a lot of new content in the works right now. Roughly 4 animations, 2 large ones and 2 short ones. And I'm taking my sweet time with them until they are ABSOLUTELY done. Don't have a release date as of yet for anything, but will estimate sometime in the summer, at the latest.

Check out some of my Art to see clues to what you'll be in for.

Keep updated by following on me on Twitter, or subscribing to my YouTube channel (that is after checking out my content to see if you like it).

While amongst an internet journey, I stumbled upon this animated masterpiece...

The the story and writing and lacking, the animation and artistic style definitely make up for that.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I invite you to get acquainted with Fire and Ice (1983)! Click the link below to see part 1 of 4. Feel free to see the whole thing!

Fire and Ice

Besides that, I'm balls deep in a couple of Animations, one of which is really testing my patience and creativity, being several months in production now. See Recent Artwork and previous posts for clues.

Also got some new vids posted! Though one of them was reuploaded due to configuration issues with the YouTube 3D features, but you can view them below, Enjoy!

Last 2 Cartoons: ASDF Trains vs Turtles and Leo & Satan in 3D.

The turkey holiday is just about done, and with it, I finally finished my latest project that has distracted me from some of my bigger animation projects (attached picture is related).

ASDF Skit: Trains vs Turtles

Essentially this is an ASDF skit battle between the "I like trains" kid and the "I like turtles" kid.

It's available to be seen here along with YouTube as well...

Besides that, bigger projects projected to be released next year! Read previous news posts for hints on what they are.

Why would I say that? Because I can make his cartoons in 3D!

I just recently finished and uploaded a small animation test featuring the lovable characters made from the warped minds of two Irish Chaps!

What makes it a test? It's my first attempt to see how a cartoon in stereoscopic 3D would look. So I'm posting it everywhere to get everyone's CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

I may also upload it here on newgrounds, the catch is that it will only be in red/cyan anyglyph 3D, and in Black and White, as the red/cyan anyglyph glasses tend to contrast heavily against Satan's Red Skin and Leo's Blue Pajamas.

So let's open the floor to discussion, thoughts? Comments?

Sure, some of you may be already thinking that you can use an SWF to Avi converter to do that. Which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that. But the thing I found with generic SWF to AVI converters is that they don't antialias your images very well. Meaning diagonal lines look very jagged.

Well I picked up a trial of After Effects to learn how to do some stereoscopic wizardry, and to my surprise, it actually imports SWF files! And not only can you add and resize your video in any resolution you want, but After Effects will automatically antialias it for you...

Unless you like jagged lines, which is cool... I guess, if you're going for a pixelated look.

And not to mention all the other cool things you can do with After-Effects to add to the look of your flash.

The following videos are some of my old projects remastered with After-Effects if you wish to view the results.

Warning: if you wish to try this, you may notice the lines on some of the characters are still pretty large, which can be a bit of an annoyance if you made your cartoon in a smaller resolution then blew it up.

Oh and lots of new content due out in October, a couple of animations and some more artwork. I'm also going to try and see if I can figure out a way to make SWF cartoons in Stereoscopic 3D before my trial expires.

Anyways, comment your opinion on whether you might consider this method or if there's a SWF to AVI converter that you'd prefer highly over After Effects.
