Theht: Welcome to the Project! We all look forward to working with you. Don’t worry about your age, you are not the youngest memeber of the Project. (To see that young man’s work, search for the ladies powder room) And of course most of you have a long way to go before you will be the oldest (I was born in 1942). As 1.8XL put it recently, its not your age that matters in the computer graphics world. (Sherwin, I am still having fun with your “old man” comment! LOL)
Loulu79: It is easier to see Liza’s face if she is sitting in the front but it sort of messes with the story if we do that. This is the first time she has ever ridden in a taxi. She has seen “rich people” get into the back so that’s what she would do naturally. The close ups of Eliza’s face will give time for the audience to see her expressions. All we need now is a rigged body so she can roll down the right window before she says goodbye to Freddy and do other things while she is riding. The Medium shot of her in the back seat is actually a close up of the Taxicab. It gives that character equal screen time.
Nathellion: I think we don’t have to texture the Fancy couple. They always appear together so they will look to be the same style (painted plastic puppets). Just as soon as the models are done, I go looking for a speed rigger. Someone who can put in the minimum bones. These characters don’t talk, they just walk. I want them in the show but we don’t have many resources left. Unless the next post is from a texture painter who has 7 days or evenings to donate to the project, we just go forward with what we have. Nate, when you are ready, contact me for posting instructions.
Well Done!
