That's it folks, the LAST IMAGE.


After ten years, I can't tell you what a learning experience this has been, from where I started. with No Schools to teach cgi art around here, and none really in SoftImage, I had to learn as I went. and I've STILL got a long way to go.

The ENTIRE reason behind this project was two fold.

One - To help me stick with it. Usually I start something and never finish with it, getting distracted with something else....or just getting daunted by the task. this is the first time in a while i've seen something all the way through.

Two - One big tribute to one of my favorite franchises. Plus, I've always wanted to try and fix some animation errors that have bugged me for 24 years every time my OCD sees them ;o).

Just knowing that Rob Paulsen, the voice of Raphael, Pat Fraley, the voice of Krang, and Bill Wolf, Producer of the original show have been enjoying the progress and appreciate the work makes it all the sweeter to get to this end point after ten years....starting way back in animation master in 2005 with a short ten second test clip... Then finding softimage a year or two later and having to learn all over again.

thank you all to those that have followed this project for the last 5 or so years on here. FINAL Video upload comes tonight.

[Shredder565]

A little preview look at the retrospective making of video coming soon.

I guess there is a difference between softimage 2006 and softimage 2016.

[Shredder565]

The Final Sacrifice....err, upload.

That's it. It's done.

There are still some things i'd like to fix, but if I tried to fix everything, it'd never 'look perfect'. but, at least I think it's watchable.

Hope you've enjoyed the decade long experiment.

time for a bit of a breather.

[Shredder565]

As the final thing to close out this project..

watch them all at once for the first time, or again..



hope you've enjoyed the journey!

[Shredder565]

will be testing out test shots with new model changes...

The hopefully final change to the new turtle model. I can live with that. and the upgrade to the title card....



I guess it's an improvement to the old card done in 2012.

[Shredder565]

A fun look back. 2009 vrs 2016

[Shredder565]

'We're really hip.' I can live with that as an upgrade.

testing out new shredder model with video game recreation.
2016 April model in progress....then, onto finishing the technodrome.

[Shredder565]

The shape is all there..it's just a matter of making it look good which is the problem.

[Shredder565]

All of the detail is there, but as with the old model on the right, it STILL doesn't look correct. I've NEVER been able to get april to look correct. or splinter.
