That is very well done, the effect is top notch indeed.

Looks great. Perfectly smooth.

That was pretty cool, I like the little smile at the end. Yeah i think you did a good job.

He looks fucking evil at the end of that very nice

This test is being done with a much larger scene in mind. Essentially my story is about a sorcerer. Not some Harry Potter bullshit either. These guys are the real deal. These where the sorcerers of legend. The guys who could sumon fire from the heavens and blast skyscraper sized lightning blasts from their bare hands. Pretty much...bad ass mother fuckers!

So...yeah...he looks evil. ^.^

I have to say your experiment is a success. It also reminds me of how little Fable delivered on this concept.

Thanks. I never played Fable, but I'll take that as a good thing?

Oh yea, its good. The creator of that game promised so much but delevered only maybe half of what was promised.

One of the concepts was playing from childhood to adulthood. Watching your character age before your eyes.

Sadly, the childhood segment, was exactly that, a short segment. No watching said character mature through combat and adventure.

Very nice... Looks smooth all the way through and I got a good smile out of that smirk he gives at the end.

It's smooth all the way through, but you need to have a slower start and end so that it starts and ends smoothly. Also, I felt like his head was shrinking. Just my feedback, take it if you want it and send it right back if you don't.

Also, I felt like you have to continue and make him old as well.... and then end with a tombstone... but that's just me.

Not to give anything away but he only ages this far due to story purposes. He's basicly aging to progress the story and therefore I'm only concerned about ages 9 - 23

neh.... whatever floats your boat

I think it looks very good! Keep at it man!

Dare I say it? IT'S MORPHIN' TIME! But seriously, that is sweet, very smooth, subtle, gradual aging. And yes, he does indeed look very evil at the end, and that smirk/grin doesn't help his case much :P

Subtle....I'm glad you mentioned that. I didn't know if I made too much of a jump on his age too fast. I was going for subtle.

Yes, he does look quite evil at that point. ^.^

I think that is a very smooth transaction. Morphing and aging are not easy things to master. Great job thus far! ^_^

Really cool! I'm simply amazed you did this in flash, as it's really difficult to do.

This looks awsome. I was realy impressed with it .

What was that music?
It made me happy!^.^

It's part of the score by John Williams from the original Superman Movie

The track is called "Leaving Home". It's a really beautiful piece and I've used it in several animation demos in the past. The entire track is much more dynamic and sweeping but for this test I only wanted a few moments from the middle of the track. I recommend the entire score since it's an amazing range of film music and nearly every track is epic in some sence.

Sweet!

Looks great, your lucky to know how to use the flash program! I wish I knew how to do it! Saddly its just gathering dust on my desk top as I cant ever get it to work hehe! Your really good at it, keep it up!

i dont really think he looked like a 9 year old to begin with... More like 14-15 years old

cool!

Very cool. I love how he does that smirk at the end.

He looks Bad ass too x3

I like the static stern look. Keeps the flow of the them you started out very strong. :3 So awesome, plus he's pretty hot as well. *giggle*

excellent work
im currently in my Digital Animation class
but still this is some bad ass work

well now he's pretty cute when he's older. killer job

Really cool those details like the uneven hair growth, i like it

The ears arn't changing much and the nose doesn't seem to be either, the two things of the face that never stop growing as we age.

It was really good, but by posting it you let fact nazi's in like me heheh...

At least you can learn from what I said, I can't learn fantastic animation and drawing skills the same way, which your skills are by the way. Fantastic.

damn, son, that's boss.

Most of the time when I see age changing stuff, they have, like key ages where they move to, but it always feels like a cgi version connect the dots. You really managed to make the whole transition smooth. Kudos

dude, that was awesome. Though I was thinking it was gonna be a little longer than that. I guess I still have commercials from TV I've seen that type of affect done on.

OMG That was so awesome ^.^

What an amazing work! wonderful concept, and look at those results! wow! he looks like he ages. I'm impressed. great artistry and flawless transitions! fav'd.

for the idiots, chrono- means time related.

Now, all you need to do is draw him with a really big sword.

enh, it's alright.

hey you'd have to watch closely to see the change, but I like how the smile says "He's up to something."

BAAA HIS HEAD SHRUNK!!!! dude thats cool...

Wow, that's pretty awesome. =D

Is there like comparison images of the face from the start and the one at the end so we can see how much he changed?
