so I figured although i’m kinda in the middle of demo reels or whatever that I would go ahead and post up what I’m showing at the quarterlies show tonight.  so here it is until I get my new website up and rollin.. logging off of this blog for real this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

same drill as always with the video.—–>

Well actually my sound guy didn’t quite get all the details in the audio finished but it is still pretty finished.  Also the more I look at it the more I maybe wanna get one more interation of animation but shit i dunno.  Here it is. either way this is what will be shown at the VSFX Quarterlies Wednesday March 11, 2009 at the Arnold Hall Auditorium on Bull Street.  Just a little advertising there.

In the midst of attempting to find the plugins directory today with wordpress so I could install the flash video player/embedder and magically make my videos viewable in blog.  I realized that there is a WordPress.COM and a WordPress.ORG whereas the .COM is all in browser type of CMS stuff. the .ORG is an actual standalone that apparently you can use plugins with and have a whole slew of more control.  Thought that was cool and when my new website it posted in a week i’ll be running the standalone blog with my custom made Theme, blam bodda ding!!  anyways………………….

laters possibly for the last time on this blog………….. loggggiiiinnnggg OFF!

i was just looking at the post and thought it would be cool to post both of the thumbnails from last week to this week to see the difference.  My decisions with the fur being more bald on the cephalathorax was to enable the body markings to show through more but some people didn’t like it, i personally do but I also wanted to show off those textures a bit more and overall the adjustments made have also allowed the detail to be more easily visible from the distance of the camera.

i think that is kinda cool for the time being..

I still have some personal issues with a few things and have gotten some good suggestions from others but I ask myself when is enough, enough?  So I’ve decided to see what everyone thinks who has followed this project and well, I guess i’ll leave it up to you guys to decide whether or not it is finished.  This feed has posts enabled so let me know what you think is and isn’t working with it so I can take some different angles into consideration.  Thanks look forward to seeing some comments.  Enjoy!  In the meantime I’ll be chipping away at the breakdown so all of those that don’t know how it was done can see what’s good behind the scenes I guess you could say…
