Here it is! Finally the 3D models of our lead
characters, all colored “textured” and looking beautiful. Now comes the
time to put in the skeleton and controls “The Puppets” and bring these happy folks to
life 😉

More Info!
Really nice short by a Enspire Studio based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Looks like the story is set in the Tron world but a bit of twist. Great stuff!
Looks like yet another great book on animation. The Animator’s Eye covers the whole process of bringing an idea to life
using animation and it documents the making of an animated short with a
wonderful score by Hans Karl.
Came across this beautiful illustration of actor Tom Hanks. Nice!
Rig demo of the new ball character “Jomboo”from Puppeteer Lounge. Character design by Sachina Shakya.
P.S. I keep mentioning the character as a “he”. Well there is a “she” version of the character as well which can be toggled from main character which I forgot to go over. And yes “Amplify” == “Exageration” 😉
Just a reminder to let you all know that only 6 more days remaining till the registration closes for the free open rigging workshop on “How to rig a Polaroid SX-70 Camera” . So hurry up and secure your seat guys 🙂
