Anybody Home?

2008-12-31T07:33:00.002-06:00

So it has been a long time since anything has been posted. Progress Update: Nothing. Unfortunately I have been busy working on other projects, and having only a 2 person crew has put TFS at a standstill at the moment. I DO want to finish this film, no matter how much of a drag it seems to have been lately. I can't quit...too much has been accomplished so far.Anyway, I want to let you guys know

Whats up!?

2008-09-16T12:42:00.003-05:00

Why have there been no post you ask? Because Jeremiah has been helping with "The Widow's Might" a film mentioned in a previous post. And I have been working and doing school. So the already limited time we have had to work on the film has lessened. So the project has slowed down some.Not to worry though, the storyboards are done most of the modeling is done and some texturing remains before we

Heeeeeee's BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Hello everyone! I am back...still alive, and in good health. It has been a rough three weeks working on THE WIDOWS MIGHT...but I am glad to get back to work on THE FILTHY SPOON.I am thinking of providing some free Blender models for people who sign up for email updates within a certain period of time. What do you think about this?Also, for those of you wondering about the "Sign up for RSS" feeds

Where have I been?

2008-07-01T14:51:00.002-05:00

Well...uh...I am still here...just kinda busy. I am actually working on ANOTHER film project (Don't worry, TFS is still going on). I could tell you all about it...but here is a little video I made about the other project I am working on.

Website in the making

2008-06-22T10:21:00.002-05:00

I am working on a website for THE FILTHY SPOON. Here is a preview image.

The Font has been Decided Upon

2008-06-12T08:30:00.000-05:00

I will be using font #1 for THE FILTHY SPOON, votes are in, and it was the one liked the most (and I liked it a lot too).

New Header and Images

2008-06-08T18:54:00.002-05:00

I put up a new header image to replace the text I had before.I also have some new renders to show you of the main characters.Oh, and not to be a nag, but REMEMBER that there is a better/newer way to sign up for email updates/RSS feed. Oh, and if you have not signed up for the email updates or the RSS feed...why not do it now? :-)

Website coming soon!

2008-06-06T16:26:00.001-05:00

I ordered a domain for THE FILTHY SPOON movie, which will soon be up (hopefully) with a website.

Blender Files are Up!

2008-06-06T16:05:00.002-05:00

I have added the Blender files to the physics tutorial I recently posted.

THE FILTHY SPOON Font Poll

2008-06-03T11:42:00.002-05:00

Which font do you like the best when it comes to using it for THE FILTHY SPOON title, poster, and whatever text I would need for TFS? You can vote with the poll I put up.

The Case!

2008-06-01T17:05:00.003-05:00

Well it is about time...I finally have a case design I like!!Cory was the first to make a case...but it looked really bad. Then I made one, and it looked worse. Cory then made another one, which I liked, but still did not think it was ornate enough. Finally, while helping my grandmother to move, I saw a display case. I like the simple, yet ornate design of it, and went home and modeled a rough

URGENT: RSS and Email Updates Move

2008-05-28T17:29:00.008-05:00

I am moving the RSS and email updates over to a new system. It should give me more control, and solve the problems I have had with the email updates not going through. It would be really helpful if all of you who signed up for email updates would re-sign up in the new system I have. You can un-subscribe from the old email updating service, since I will be disabling it in a couple of weeks. As far

Blender Physics Animation Tutorial

2008-05-20T16:40:00.041-05:00

IntroductionThis idea is based on that many objects encompass a cube or sphere shape. i.e. A house will fit inside a stretched cube, and the same with a pen. A ball will fit inside a sphere. A cylinder shaped object will fit into an elongated cube. After doing more research (after posting this tutorial) I have discovered that using a basic shape like this is an overkill, but if you were to

Dust and Particles

2008-05-16T15:42:00.000-05:00

JC Said in regards to my dust particles video...Interesting... I would assume this means you're going to have one shot at leastfocusing on the particles? I don't know that I've ever seen an animated filmwith dust in the air...interesting thought.One thing I noticed--the particlesdon't seem to have quite enough randomness in their motion. If you look at abeam of light through a dusty room and

2008-05-12T15:38:00.001-05:00

I am thinking of making a tutorial on how I made the following animations. The aniamtions were rather simple with my technique. Would you be interested in the tutorial?
