:banghead: - Damn host… my host was acting up for a couple of days, so I couldn’t log in even.

But today when I got home the host was working great. So I uploaded it. Mind you the story needs a bit of work at the end, I just haven’t gotten it perfect yet.

Very sorry for long delay, it has been a crazy month as I have finals at school. This upcoming Tuesday is my last final so after that I am devoting a lot more time to this for the next couple of months. School starts again in a month, but considering that it would be the beginning of the term there isn’t much of a huge demand from it. Also half the classes are computer classes and I could sleep through those and pass 100%…

Anyway since I have been absent from this does not mean I have not been working on stuff, mostly contacting my sister to get real reference images of the areas to model, drawing more character sheets, still drawing the storyboards when I can and also getting some idea of some voices for the whole thing. Not to mention doing some heavy R+D work over the whole Blender - Renderman issue.

So again this project is still alive, as much as it can be. Once I get some kind of stable foundation then I think things will fall into place.

The script construction could use alot of work. If you would like, I could get on reconstructing that to a more professional look. (i.e., when you put “…” you can only have three “.”, when you cut to an int. or ext. you have to put the title of each int. and ext., etc)

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.
