I'm decent at rigging, but for some reason I suck at drivers. These rigs are the problem at hand. Would someone please update the facial rigs found in this ZIP folder so that they have no refresh issues? Announce your presence at the blenderartists thread. You WILL get your name in the credits. In fact, I will write it down.

Details: the rigs are currently powered by driving the brightness values of several textures. The style of rigging is supposed to hide/reveal basic 2-D graphics in a "malayo/pocoyo" sort-of way. Currently the graphics flicker in the render, even in keyframe-free regions. Your mission is to create a solution which does not change the control scheme if possible, and does not change the main character rig in any way.

Thank you immensely for your time, and please help.

Good luck, you'll need it.

So! I had a lot of fun with the Durian modelling sprint, which happened last Saturday. I was at a hotel over the weekend, so I didn't do much modelling until Sunday. At which point I completed the model.

However, during the hotel trip I managed to join the IRC channel, and watch Colin Levy eat a falafel on my dads laptop. The IRC business was a lot of fun, great to see that there are people out there in the community, alive and kicking RIGHT NOW. It was also fun to watch the servers melt into slag when Colin pointed the camera at the chat window! :b

I modelled the broken window, in a low-poly style. I'm not entirely pleased with the materials, but it works, and you can see it here. Thanks, and have a great day!

Here's the storyboards for the film. I've been working on these for about a week. I created the music, most of the sound is whipped off of the intertubes.






blat So yeah, I just showed you guys the whole movie, but there are much better things on the way!
