The zerg creep doesn't look like creep to me because the edges of it dont emulate the edges of the creep in game. the terran smoke didn't quite look like smoke to me, but i also didn't like the shape of the structure, did like the black/yellow danger bands though commonly found on terran buildings though they looked kinda bright and clean my want to grunge them bit more. hope this helps. :D | ||

I agree that the smoke in the Terran Animation doesn't look that natural , and it would probably look nicer if i removed it (i should never count on .. Mom : yeah the smoke looks nice , can i go back to cooking now? ) :D But the shape is something i thought looked really cool :> And as i said havent really ever played or watched zerg closely , so i will probably change the way the creep <<spreads>> to give it that *Gulp/Spitting* look that it has in game :D | ||

on the creep though also pay attention to the edge shape, it looks like it branches kinda your looks like you air brushed away the perimeter. ![[image loading]](http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081019194152/starcraft/images/b/b2/Creep_SC2_Game2.jpg) yw :D keep it up, they'd be great for mlg. | ||

The theme's I only really liked the protoss one, the zerg felt too mechanic until the very end when the creep has spread and the terran doesnt fit at all, most likely because of the colors. But I think thats ok, theres a lot of fun in trying out different themes etc. The main reason for posting would be to give some feedback and suggestions concerning the usage. An animation itself cannot be used by anyone so you would have to team up with someone who can create a program that allows you to use them as overlays. There are many ways you can go about doing this but as a standalone for example, purely meant for a flashy intro, I can see that being easy to distribute and allow many casters play around with or integrate into their casts. Another point for its usability which is probably pretty big is that it needs to be able to accept custom names. If every name would require its own made animation it would not be usable. So either some empty box where the custom name can be layed on top of after the animation finishes, or idk what kind of flashy things you can do with that, but that's definitely something to take into account if you would like it to be usable by many people. And you also run into a space issue, either have to limit the amount of name, have the animation scale or create a normal and a streched animation that when the name goes over X character the program would use the stretched animation as the overlay, or something just trying to come up with ideas here  For that program I think another part would be the audio component, since for example a craftcup can have many different names it's not feasable to prerecord them but maybe something like the microsoft robovoice that reads a name that is typed could fit the purpose well. The one from GSL is quite wierd aswell. Eitherway whichever way you are gonna take it I wish you best of luck in your endeavour. It seems really cool and there is no such tool yet I believe. I hope it will get used in the future, not only is it cool and flashy but it could also help steer casters away from repeating their same old introduction of the players instead of playing around with it more. | ||

For people using low quality streams (I am not one, but I heard they exist) contrast and simple shapes reign supreme since a legible simple animation will beat out a fancy blob of color on a regular basis. That being said, SC2 is such a pretty game that everyone should be using high quality streams whenever they can. | ||
