Boy and Monster Side by Side

Just for fun..

TV

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions on our progress images. We still have to place things in the bedroom, so all the good suggestions we get now the better, before we commit the item to the room. Everyone was really helpful. Hopefully the new tv doesn't resemble an etch-a-sketch ^_^. Thanks

props!

So the props are coming along. I just added some color for a feel of what it will look like. Still a lot more texturing/UVing to do.

Skinned!!

Love how the monster is moving. Tentacles are smooth, no folding, doesn't look like crap! :D etc.

Cool..another step back! We started skinning and realized how bad the tentacles are moving. So now I have to go back and fix the rig! Hate the tentacles.

models

So everytime we take a step forward, a new problem arises and we are pushed two steps back. After getting the rigs done, skinning the characters was terrible. Problem - little geometry. So we had to go back, fix the models (add geometry) and re-UV the characters.
Here are the new models. FIXED! Never ever ever ever touching the geometry again! phew!

Been awhile

Hello everybody! It's been awhile since our last post, so we are getting back into the gear with the animation short.

Last week we were attacked with unforeseen file corruption, which put us behind schedule, but we are beginning to catch up. We're thinking positive about it.

Below are links to show our progress on the rigs themselves, we are going to be skinning them soon and work on some blendshapes. Things are looking good right now, we'll keep posting.
