    Hi!

    The name's Michael To. I stopped maple animating in 2011 and now I'm back. I went to animation school, learned it all and got a job in the ~industry~. So it's about time I return to my roots. The goal is to pick up animation again and produce some real badass work. Not too sure if I'm happy with this old edgy name of XMaplePandaX though, so let me know if there's a way to change it!

  3. Welcome back. I remember seeing a bit of your stuff once I first started watching maple animations on youtube.
    It's always cool to see old faces coming back.

    When did Pandas become edg-- No, wait I take that back! Welcome back! I'm pretty sure I remember your username... Congrats on the big-leagues. In case you didn't know, sprite animation has really taken-off since you've been gone. "Hyper Gauge", "Screw Attack" and "Animation Rewind" are the "big three" you'll probably end up working under if you want to simply make fight animations.

    Yo' wad up

    I'm starting to notice a trend of people finishing school and coming back here lul, I finished my career a year ago, I feel accomplished for the things I set to do here in MM now I'm just making sure the rest of the projects come out; and there's one that could interest you if you wanna pick up maple animation again.

    At first, the title of this thread hit me like it was commenting on my own Maple animation history LOL T_T

    Welcome to Maplemation, the last-standing community for Maple animators! As a film major graduating next year, it's great to have someone like you already in the entertainment industry on the forum. I look forward to seeing any content you post.

    Enjoy your stay!
