First off Yes, there has been a serious lack of posts in my journal but I have been doing a lot of site revisions and updates. The site design and backend programming is now 99.9% finish. All sections are up and ready, so now all I have to do is keep adding content. With that being said…
The Making of Genryu’s Blade is available once again. I was surprised that so many people remembered it from my old ShockAnime website. Many of the emails I received were from animators on Newgrounds.com (with pretty good work), telling me that my article is one of the things that inspired them to animate. I was flattered so, after hunting thru my archives I found it, revised it, and loaded it to the new Workflow section.
I decided to add the workflow section because; animators and developers like me like to see the process of creating an animated short film or developing a video game. These workflows are basically “Developer Diaries” of my current and upcoming projects that will give fundamental information, tips, research information and trial and error I encounter throughout the project without going into too much detail.
Also in the Developer Diaries, I will list little details that aren’t fully revealed in the final project. For example in The Making of Genryu’s Blade, I explain Genryu’s and Takahashi’s special chi powers as well as the little extra touches I included in post-production. In upcoming projects, I will post updates to my workflows as I progress until distribution. Hopefully these articles will inspire and help new and skilled developers on their projects as well.
To help finding Maya Rigs, Tutorials, MelScripts etc., listed in my journal I’ve added a new Resource section to list those resources as well as a few WebLinks to specifically for animators and developers.
