Hi everyone,
Let's see... what to talk about first. Well, I am no longer teaching at Judson High School. Come this fall I will be teaching Video Game Design at Canyon Lake High School. That's not to be confused with Canyon High School which would actually be quite a bit closer to my house. It's a big change and I'm excited.
Since my summer break started I've been trying to do things around the house to give my wife a bit of a break. I'm not sure how successful I've been. It's actually been pretty hectic since we're leaving for India and the Philippines in just a couple days. I've made so many trips to the mall to get stuff, it's not even funny.
What I'm most proud of is all the stuff I've learned about rigging. Big shout outs go to Zeth Willie and his blog as well as Sean Hewitt and his blog. Between the two of them, I've learned how to switch between FK and IK chains as well as set up stretchy IK. The next thing I'm going to tackle is IK/FK matching. I wish there was a "no install" way to do that, but it looks like I can't avoid having to make a button somewhere. I'll just have to show my fellow animator how to do it. (Maybe I can make a Shelf he can install...)
Anyway, all this learning has been for a company I am a 1/4th owner of. Brave Pixel Studios is the name. Be looking for it in the near future!
