Scene 02, first 10 seconds

These are the first 10 seconds of scene 02. The background is going to be very different, so this is still a test. Also, I still need to make lots of improvements on the skinning. 

Logo ?

It's though to commit to a design. For now, this is the logo for the animation.

Size matters a lot

So, in the animation, there will be a cardboard plane. It needs to be as small as possible, while Ben is still able to step in. (For now, his name is Ben.) Up next: rigging the plane. It doesn't need that much, but the propellors need to rotate. Also, I want the wings to be able to bend a bit.

While posing Ben in the plane, I found out that my rig does not always have the smartest linking.  I guess that won't be too much of a problem. Also, there is some serious skin-fixing coming up. (Not the most enjoyable part.)

First Skin test

It's been quite busy, but I did manage to skin little Ben. He needs a bit more attention at the legs and at some other places. Still, I'm happy to see this is getting somewhere.

I've got a scenario ready for a (about) 90 second animation. My half-way-the-year-wish is to finish it before 2012. Then, find someone to do the audio.
