Don't worry about the unpleasant comments, criticism is easy!!!! I find your work very great.

It's nice that people shows his creation even if he is aware that's not the best animation or color balanced creation. I think this is a good balance between the ridiculous "look at my fantastic reflecting yellow cube" and extra-planetar Blender creations from some blenderheads. My main crit is it's an almost absolute lack of rhythm, but maybe this animation's goal is not to achieve rhythm but only to serve as a humble background of an expert talk... Keep using Blender, my terrestrian friend, and improve even more your skills! Raimon I think is a good use, or at least "fair use" ;-).

The information here else then personal satisfaction about create something , is that it take 3 days rendering something that looks yet simple . (for expectations about what a 3D is ,its hard to made) What about than more complex full length movies ,must last a year to render . *only about it to be a skin ,must use other color to represent it clear .

It's very important for me to know what is your feeling about this animation. I agree with most of your criticisms, and I could add one more: the sound is missing. I mean, this animation is displayed during scientific conferences of our scientific communication manager. So when the animation runs, he explains everything that happen into the screen. It's easier to understand... That's true, it is a very simple animation. But it was a challenge to me: make a support for the scientific team with less than 7 days of work (and 3 days of rendering). So I choose to create very simple objects in very simple scenes to explain a complex skin system. BalthazarBtf: Yes this is only cubes ! but Blender knows how to make Spheres too ;) With a lot of work (for me), I could do real cells, but if you create real cells you'll need real skin content too. There is so many things into your skin that it is impossible for me alone to create a real skin model. So, I decided to to focus on the story, not on realism. And sure, it's not a terrific animation. You know, I didn't want to do better than Big Buck Bunny :) This is just my way to use our favorite software in my professional environment. Again thanks for all your comments, they help me to do better next time :) Hi all,

But for visualisation of some functionality of skin-tissue it could have some more details to make it more nice (like Textures and materials!!)! It's not satisfying me! Or is it about some limitations of Blender?? If you look at scientific demos made with f.e. Maya you should know what I mean. I think it's a good clip to show some basic Blender features!

It fits its purpose and looks nice despite its simplicity. The only thing that bugged me is the propellers. I'm under the impression that biology doesn't have "things that spin" in it's bag of tricks, but maybe I'm wrong. I thought it was well done.

WHAM. Never before have I been intimidated by skin cells. I liked the part where the strong junctions formed. WHAM.

I just didn't like the captions with 3d text; it's hard to read and lacks some contrast with the background. Anyway, it's a nice work. Congratulations.
