Haven't Been Completely Idle!

Hey guys,

So, it's that time of the year where very little gets done on the movie.  Still, I have been doing some work.

First off, as you can tell by the home page banner, I've done a new Xam and Power Dog Thanksgiving 2014 pic. I've even added it so you can download it if you like.

I know, it's not that different from last years pic but there is only so much you can do for Thanksgiving. Beside, I like the little turkey I made last year and I love the idea of Xam and Power Dog protecting him every Thanksgiving so this will probably become a new tradition.

I also have been working on the new Thomas model. I've got his body 90% rigged and I've started doing shape keys for his facial expressions and speech. So far, all I have is the eyes done. Next comes the phonemes, which is what shapes his lips, teeth and tongue when he speaks.

But, just to show I've been working, I thought I'd add an updated pic of the new Thomas model. I've even worked on his hair some more and I like this much better.

Tada! 

And there you go.

Keep checking back.  They may be few and far between, but I will be posting updates this holiday season.

Later!
