Minus some extra veins that could be on his arms to give them more detail...the new changes in krang are making it work MUCH better.

so apart from three baxter shots i'm still not happy with, Act one forever done. this weeks focus finishing up act 2.

Act two end fixups begin... and act two completion starts. Act two will need alot of fine tuning when done.

Full circle, up to the shot I did as a test when i finshed the first of the new models, the turtles, 6 months ago.

It took two months to do act one. Probably another two to finsh this one. with any luck i will start act three in january. and be finished with the whole project and experiment that took ten years of time talent and training to complete.

It'll then be time to decide where to go from here.

well, for anyone still left..

Two minutes in two weeks. time to slow down a little and fix up what we have now before finishing up the last two minutes in act 2.

About 6 shots in the first half of act 2 with some of the splinter solo shots and mouser trashing shots need timing issue fixes. April in Bathrobe shots need a new hair design for when the hair is wet. she also needs better movements so they look natural.

Other than that, i like what is there so far. this is going to look nice when done as a final farewell to this project i think.

well, for those who arn't totally bored with this by now.

Act one forever finished minus one krang shot and one walking shot that still needs work.
The Krang shot is far too wobbly and all over the place to look good and the walking shot is too skippy.

Act two is proceeding nicely and just needs some shape animation fixes, April Bathrobe fixes, and one Shredder shot fix. should be able to start finishing the last section saturday.

all the april shots are a little better now. just one or two baxter shots i no longer like in act one, but other than that, it's forever done.
everything else came out much better.

Act two fixes are making things look much better now.
One final upload on video coming tonight or tomorrow with all the final fixes.
Next video update will come when act three begins.

Act two gets started to finish tomorrow.

principal background setup of act 2 is now done.in a little under a month.
now it's just a matter of animating the last 8 shots. and making sure everything i have in act two is now as nice as it can look before moving on.

Will probably take a break for a bit and start on act 3 december 1st
