State of the Environment 1

Going to be posting the updates on the state of the first shot of our environment over the next couple weeks. Here is the concept piece and a screenshot of the current 3D and Textures.

Animations: Take One!

Some rough, first pass animations done for Dani, since her rig and base mesh are functioning with a rough pass at skinning on it. 

First off we have a first pass walk cycle:

Next we have an idle weight shift:

                                 

And finally, crossing her arms:

Secondgiving!

Since I moved away from Wisconsin to go to college out here in Washington, a couple other displaced friends of mine and I started the grand holiday tradition that we now refer to as "Secondgiving." Secondgiving is celebrated sometime the weekend before or after Thanksgiving, depending on schedules of those involved, and we make all the standard Thanksgiving favorites for those who can't go home for Thanksgiving (and those who can) really, all the members of our Washington family-by-choice. This year the whole team was in attendance, along with a bunch of other friends.

 Danny either discovered that his camera had a panorama function, or just decided it was a god time to play with it, as he took a bunch of pictures for us!
