Follow the link and then download it from Google Docs using the File -> Download option (the menu in the browser window beneath the flyme.flv filename).

Très joli, mad0

Hello,

Thank you DaveJ and genete, and good work, carbonphobia and mospina :smiley:
michael, maybe you can’t see the video because it’s a flv file ? I uploaded here an ogg format: http://skias.free.fr/images/flyme.ogg
Thank you Rylleman for the contest, I should have started earlier, I would have had the time to finish the animation! :wink:

Hi!
Once the contest has finished I want to share all the material I was using when I was working on my unfinished version of the Reach the Moon animation.
Here are the files:
docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx8g_H … RkxpZFRfQQ

The short plot of the story is:
One mad scientific wants to reach the moon and invents a machine with a huge magnet that will attract the moon to the earth. And effectively he did!
Here are some images.
You can open the sif files to play with it and use them freely.
Cheers!
