That’s it for now. I need to sleep.

So let me take a few and let you know what’s been happening. It’s been a
really busy time period for us here, and that’s always good and bad.

We have been working on coming up to speed on the Client Y project. It’s
going fairly well I think and I am pretty happy with the plan we have in
place. That’s 6 months worth of work – and all of it in 3D web based character
animation, as well as a fairly large chunk of database programming to
handle student tracking.
Some fantastic progress is happening with concepts for

dotPublishing‘s first game release. Soon we will have some concept art to
put up and I’ll make sure I point you all at it.
I have been finishing up the

Director project I have worked on the last bunch of weeks for Client X.
It’s basically been a nightmare all the way through but it has really given me
a chance to come up to speed on what Director can and can’t handle.
On the 3D front, I have been spending a lot of time working with

Brazil and

finalRender. I think I might decide that we want to look into messiah:
studio before we make a final decision on a render technology. I am starting
to really appreciate some of the depth we can get from the "standard"

Max materials and tools – it might turn out that hybrid is the best
option.
I found

this, an inexpensive pan/tilt/zoom base fro off the shelf USB webcams.
This is probably a good idea for the

girls.
We’ll talk a little more in the future about this – but I have decided I
am a little tired of my life not being as cool as it sounds… or as cool as
it

should be. Steps will have to be taken 🙂 More later.
