Officially Entering the Slow Months...

Hey guys,

Yes, I'm afraid we are officially in the slow months for the movie.  :(

Why is that?

Well, frequent visitors to the blog will know that August through December is typically slow when it comes to progress on the Xam and Power Dog movie.  This is mostly due to my families passion for all things Halloween.  Then of course, after that, we hit the holiday season and like most people, I just don't have a lot of free time during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

But, I will be spending some time on the movie, just not enough time to warrant my usual, weekly updates.

So, I promise, I will have updates over the next months.  They just won't be as punctual.

In the meantime, if you are really missing me, feel free to hop over to my other blog, Hollinger Hollow!

There, you will see how much my family loves Halloween.

Global Warming's Attack on Xam and Power Dog's City!

Hey guys,

I'm working on the city when I rendered this...

 

No, Xam and Power Dog don't live in Venice.  I was working on the streets of the city when I hid them to check something and forgot to un-hide them when I rendered the pic.

It was pretty funny so I thought I'd share.

Bridge... Done!

Hey guys,

The bridge is finally finished!

This was truly a labor of love.  I love modeling, and I love where the movie is going, but building this bridge was a tremendous labor.  In the end, it was all the tension lines that made this project not so much fun.

But, it's finally done and here it is...

And here it is added to the city...

All in all, moving right along.  I still have a lot to do on the city though.  I need to add street lights, signage and I need to texture the roads.

To the right of the bridge is the harbor.  This is where Xam and Power Dog's warehouse will be, right at the very end.  Consequentially, I need to make that entire pier look like a harbor.

So, I still have a lot to do.  I will, of course, keep you updated.

Yep, Still Building the Bridge...

Hey guys,

So, I'm still working on the bridge.

It was a very busy week, not movie wise, so I'm afraid I didn't get a whole lot done on the bridge.

I did, however, manage to begin the suspensions lines at the end of the bridge.  I only have the walkway left to build.

I know, it looks like I've lost parts of the bridge but don't worry about that.  I just had them hidden in the picture.  Trust me, both ends of the bride are finished.

As far as I know, I only have the suspension lines on the walkway.  Then I should be done with the bridge (famous last words).

So, I'll let you know how that goes.

Later!
