Well it has been a very long time since I posted anything here. I believe the “collab” part is dead, maybe. I spent the last 3 months going over my Blender to Renderman pipeline, making sure that what I want to do will work - to make a short film using Blender and a Renderman compliant renderer. Well it works, even animation given a bit of restructuring of every single final render RIB file, I am working on the first opening shot as I type this using a very custom method.
However most of the past few months have been nothing but R+D over this, and have no time at all to “collaborate” with those who wished to do so, by which I apologize. So now after almost a year in “pre production” I am finally able to move on to the important elements of the short - the modeling.
If anyone is willing to contribute to this it would be really nice, I know that MANY Blender projects have fallen through, but this was not started as a “Blender” project at all, and in fact traces it roots to Lightwave 7.0, with no intentions of having a community based short in mind at all. But that is not to say that this is looking down on it, in fact the whole reason I decided to use Blender as the animation tool was because it is that powerfulll.
Anywho again if anyone with some decent Blender skills who would want to help out that would be cool, otherwise you can just check out my Holiday Shear blog on my progress on this short.
