Friends…
Raul Domingo and the little Penguin. This turned out to be a lot harder and more complicated to put together than I imagined. Thankfully the programmers are working on a better implementation. (Click on the picture for a larger version that may work better as a background for your desktop)

He can move!
Alright, I finally finished up the animation for Raul Domingo. In addition to all I did before, I now know how to lip sync, use the NLA editor, and do some other pretty neat stuff. I technically know how to make him blink, but I was having some technical difficulties and wanted to get the…

Progress on Raul Domingo
I’m making really great progress on Raul Domingo. As I mentioned yesterday, the fact that I’ve already used Blender before is really helping me understand what I’m doing instead of hunting down where things are. Today I not only finished putting bones into the legs and feet, but I’ve also done a wonderful walking and…

Ah yes, his name
I forgot to add this to the end of the last post and I’m a bit of a stickler for editing posts once they’ve gone public. I am going to name him Raul Domingo after my late grandfather who I never got to meet, but feel that I know via all the stories I’ve heard…

Latest Blender Project: A Humanoid
I stress the word humanoid because it would be quite a stretch to call it a human. It is roughly human, but the head is not quite as spherical as a human head. However, I think you will notice quite a few improvements over my previous render, the penguin. Most notable should be that the…

Presenting: Penguin Flight
You can see Penguin Flight, my first-ever CG short subject film, at drop the bomb production’s CG Animation Page. It’s at the bottom. Read the description first and then give it a shot. It took roughly a month to get that sucker down. I expect my next one to take longer as well as be…

Now let’s see how it came out this time!

Round 2 of Rendering
Got some advice on rendering. Apparently for the amount of frames I did, it’s much better to render them as individual frames and then piece together the AVI from that. So I chose PNGs since they are lossless. If the last render session is any indication, it’ll be nearly Thursday before I can put the…

Annoyed, Angry and Confused
After waiting all this time, the [penguin animatin] file is unreadable or corrupted! Gah!

The Render wait is over
The rendering of my penguin cartoon is over. Now I will review it and add a soundtrack. If everything goes right I hope to have it up by tomorrow or Wed at the latest.

Penguin Short…just a few days away….
I finally finished the animation for the penguin short. It looks to be about 2 minutes long. (Not including opening and closing credits) I will now begin rendering and we shall see just how long it takes to render. I was originally going to do an HD render, but I’m afraid it will take much…

Suburban Plight
I came across this page today where someone has posted a video entitled Suburban Plight. The movie is a combination of live action and computer graphics created with Blender! The result looks very nice. I’m glad the author decided to share it with us. Check it out!

Our Penguin Acquires a Plane
He must have saved up a bunch of Pepsi Points.

He can see!
My penguin now has the gift of vision. Doubtless he will complain about the crap environment I’ve put him in. There aren’t even any fish!

Penguin Aerobics
My penguin now has bones! And you can see him do “Penguin Aerobics” in the accompanying short video.
