Hello all,

Well I haven’t been posting much lately so you know that means I have been working hard. Annabelle’s Bistro is coming along nicely. We have been creating animation tests left and right as well as working hard to get the set built. The latest podcast goes into some more detail about all of that.

For those of you who are podcast subscribers, last week you got a little treat in the form of concept designs and exclusive early model tests. Kyle and Katie put together a nice little PDF to show some of that off. The rest of you fear not! for I bring good tidings of great joy:

In addition, I have been giving the script a gentle massage…yet again… I think I have become so familiar with it at this point, I can probably recite the entire script from memory. Perhaps even sing it to the tune of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire.

This weeks podcast marks the triumphant return of my two co-hosts. We discuss our first impressions of Maya and how perseverance and hard work can help overcome the challenges that new 3D artists face. I think its going to be exciting to look back on this podcast at the end of the project just to see how far my students have come in a short amount of time.
