Oh, and Here's a render of Ariella.

Andrek Boneth. As you can see, I'm looking for more of a slightly cartoony look for the characters.

Help Wanted: Call for Art

For any artists out there, now is the chance to get you name in the credits of the movie. Anyone is welcomed to contribute. However, it has to be medieval themed, a hint of fantasy is ok. Basically, anything from sketches, concept art, BLENDER models, and constructive criticism will be welcomed. Even if you just got Blender, making a wooden table saves me time, and puts you in the credits. My e-mail is its_ian@att.net
OK, here is a current list of the characters:
Sir Farnoth
Sir Landers
Andrek Boneth
King Mengrant (old king)
Keylor (fairly old man)
Ariella
Castle Guards
Old Hermit
Zalen
Mercenary 1
Mercenary 2
Great Dragon of Agranoram
Farnoth is done, Andrek Boneth is done, and Ariella is about done, and I have finished Zalen's head.

Also, I tend to keep my models semi low poly (40,000 to 50,000 verticies) for a character, and this is with 2 levels of subsurf smoothing. The main reason is because I don't have a very powerful computer. Here is a screenshot of Ariella, with the wire draw extra turned on. She has 10,000 more vertices than I prefer, but still is quite doable. Notice the edges and faces are what is editable, but the subsurf adds a ton to smooth it out. So that's it for now. For those not interested in helping, you'll probably find an update here about once every one or two weeks.

Blender Movie Project

Wow.......rumbling, something is finally happening. I have started a movie project with Blender, an open source 3D Animation suite, downloadable here. http://www.blender.org/
The project is getting a little over my head with school and everything, but hopefully will gain some momentum after more basic modeling is finished.

OK, why did I set this up, I don't really know yet. Come back if you want, you might find something interesting.....
