I'd like to see more use of texture mapping, like on the fridge. it is so shiny!

Your expressions are looking pretty good, but the contrast in detail (ie the hands) is distracting...

Yeah they are stills from a finished animation. It comes in two parts, part 2 isn't finished yet; will post it soon but needs to be heavily compressed.

You mean people really actually live in Middlesborough!!!!! Blimey! :scream:

From the look of this so far, I tend to think it's worth really spending a bit more time on the eyes, lips and hands. In fact I'd like to hope you take this as far as you can. Any chance you could put a divx somewhere for us to take a peek at??? :)

Visually yes it will look better with more use of texture maps.

While I can't tell what's the story, you seem to have some good stories going on with the characters there. Look forward to seeing the animation!

xynaria: Don't live in Boro by choice, am moving to greener less poluted pastures soon, hopefully!

The eyes and textures are on an ever increasing list of improvements, but heh it'll get done eventually. Will put the Movie up soon.

Cheers, checked your profile by the way, are you secretly from Boro, but too ashamed to admit it? :D

3dsmax: I was caught up with going between a plasticine feel and a realife kind of look for the characters; neither has really materialised so it's an area that i need to look at and decide which direction i want to take it. Probably photo real.

Cheers for the comments.
