New Developments

After completing the tentacle rig i emailed Dramatic Panda to notify them of my progress. As usual there reliability and dedication to replying to their emails was found wanting. I then took it upon myself to get in touch with the team and show them firsthand how the rig works. After a brief demonstration to the Lead Programmer of the work so far, it was safe to say he was very impressed, and I quote "Out of all our models that's probably the best, you should see the crap i had to model, it's painful to look at" After reviewing the work we then got into a discussion on the animations needed for the actual game footage. To cut a long story short it finally twigged with them that they have no actual animators and were just going to split the work between all of them to find the most skilled. Me being me i had to point out the obvious and landed the job of doing the attacking animations for the kraken. I hope that so far my modeling/rigging/Texturing have sufficiently impressed them to maybe secure some future work and the Animations will be the icing on the cake.
