Cute movie poster look, but I have to point out that the phanteaters *are* the good guys.

Go Phanteaters! Destroy those lousy snouts! Remember India!

(all in good fun)

thanks for the comments guys, at present there based on battleship guns but I guess because its space faring it needs to be more versatile, I definitely look at tweetytoons

I made a quick test animation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TozXWv3_LyI
its really rough (only about 6 keys!)
compression wasnt kind to it either

it's also really huge.. that or the planets/moons are really small

good to see you found solutions to your animation issues

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

actually i didnt, I just keyed it by hand, attaching another one to the curve and using that for timings reference and stuff for the other one.
In a way it makes it seem more like the UFO is actually spinning, so its affecting its movement, making it seem more realistic with less effort, so its all good.
Yeah I wondered what to do about the size issue

Hey, this animation is great, it really moves like a flying saucer.

But you made a mistake.

You have revealed the position of your ship, and the weapons of mine are in this moment targeting it.

I hope it has hiperspace jump or something.

Now when ever I batch render it stops at about 100 frames (its not the same number every time) and i really have no idea why
any ideas?

why don't you just render from 100 onwards?
