Hi QBN. I'm getting ready to release another animated infographic into the wild. This one's about Car Engines. You may remember the animated one I did last year about Cheetahs. Anyway, you guys post some amazing work here, so I trust you'll let me know if you spot any dumbassery in this graphic and I'll fix that shit right away. Many thanks in advance!

- Stunning tech illustration.goldieboy
- Nice work.. but man, that thing is a resource hogtymeframe
- Works, and it's informative. Cool shit. Did you animate the engine moving?monospaced
- Yeah, I modeled, animated, and rendered the engine in Blender. Layout in Illustrator, of course. Photoshop to put everything together and export.jerkyjake
- everything together and export.jerkyjake
- Fuel injector sprays mist / atomised air/fuel mixture. "Gas" isn't really right.meffid

Thanks for the feedback so far! It's very welcome.
I kept the Cheetah animated graphic to 2 colors and it came in under 500k. I decided to push the limits further on this one, and it stands at 5.7mb ... and that's about as much as I can compress it and still maintain some quality.
I figured with all the 10+mb gifs I see on Reddit (video rips mostly) I might squeak by, and it does seem to load better in Chrome and Firefox. Safari is the slowest, but once loaded it animates as it should. I probably should have held back a bit; found a way to have less colors or something.
Any obvious design flaws? Spelling errors? Other design elements that cause immediate irrational anger inside your tender designer soul?
- Why is your final output an animated gif? Did your client really ask for that?monospaced
- No, I do these for myself. I realize gifs aren't ideal in some ways, but infogrpahics are a big deal right now and animated ones are almost unheard of. The one I did last year generated a lot of good 'net buzz for me, and people really seemed to dig it.jerkyjake
