Activity Update

Been really busy recently at work with the upcoming new season and various rigging development and issues to attend to.

Helping a friend with his short film at home too, rigging his 5 main characters. Once they are done, I will be posting snippets of it here, subjected to his approval of course, which I'm sure he will have no problems with that. In the midst of rigging the characters, I have been organising my scripts and tools at home, and re-writing my auto-rig tool. By the end of it, I believe I will have a solid set of tools for my rigging needs.

And after that, it will be back to my to do list again:
- muscle rigging
- mechanical facial rigging

Long Overdue Facial Rigging WIP

Just realise I have not posted this to my blog yet. It's a long overdue video of the CGTalk Unofficial Facial Rigging Challenge. It's sort of an idea that I've been wanting to explore further: Mechanical Facial Rigging.

Clone Wars theatrical trailer's out

It's been a while since I updated this space. I have been really packed with lots of stuff all these while, from taking up new hobbies, to getting more and more responsibilities in my job.

On a side note, here's what I have been working on for the past 1.5 years:

















The theatrical release trailer of The Clone Wars is out! Movie's showing in US on 15th Aug 2008. Even though the parts we did are not actually in this theatrical release, it is still exciting to know that all the hard work we have put in is going to be publicly shown soon. :)

Watch it here.

If you are interested in the HD quality trailer, get it here.

Stay tuned for the actual screening of all the episodes on Cartoon Network starting this Oct!
