Okay, since I haven’t contributed to one of these things in who knows how many weeks, I’ll give it a shot this week. Since we last spoke, I’ve just finished my 12th minute of cinematic animation with an average of 6 characters in each scene. Naturally, my eyeballs are pretty much melting out of their sockets and I’ve developed this nagging face-ache in my right cheek/temple area. A tumor, perhaps? The animation is looking pretty good, but of course the perfectionist in me wants another six months to polish it to death. Bill and Mike are also working their asses off on cinematics, and Mike just finished a scene last week that looks $#@#$%!! sick. Actually, my face hurts right now and it’s kind of a throbbing sensation, so for all I know a family of spiders could be living in one of my sinuses and they’re just waiting for an opportune moment to erupt from my face in a geyser of filth and horror. Where was I….oh yes – Bill is working on what has to be the most difficult cinematic of all time, and it’s looking great. The light is at the end of the tunnel, so soon it’ll just be miscellaneous bug fixes and polishing work until we ship. After we RTM I plan to do three things… F, RT, DN. In that order. I think one person out there knows what that means. I’ll let the rest of you figure it out.
And last, but not least, here's Mister Chief, unhappy at his latest hairdo, which we call, "The Scout."
