Early Test Render of Gibson!

Hey guys,

Well, I mentioned last week that I'm working on a new approach to the movie and I'm so excited I can't wait to show what I've been working on until it's completely finished.

So, that being said, here is what I'm working on. I'm going to try to animate the movie instead of filming it live.

I know, I know. Can I even do that? Truthfully, I have no idea. That is why I've been so quite about it all these months but I think I'm getting to a point where I can at least tell you all what has been taking so long.

I currently have two models built. One of Gibson and one of Power Dog. I'm still putting the finishing touches on Power Dog. Right now, his cape and logo on the costume are giving me a hard time but I think I'm a week away from figuring all that out.

So, why did I start with Gibson and not Max? Simple, Power Dog has a cape and I knew that would be a mother to animate so I wanted to start with something difficult first.

Once I have Power Dog done I will move on to Max and Xam. Then the fun will begin as I then build models for Thomas and T-Boom, the only human in the movie. That will have it's own challenges I'm sure.

After Thomas/T-Boom I'll build a model for Jacko the Dog and then I'll have to figure out the sets. I'm hoping I can use the ones I've already built with SketchUp but I'll have to see how that works. If it doesn't, I'll have to build them with my modeling software (which I will tell you more about later).

Until then, here is an early rendering of Gibson.
