Adventures across the 3rd dimension

*Wishes he could adjust weights on his rig without watching a spinning blue mouse pointer for 15 minutes before anything happens*

It's OK, I don't need to worry about any of that now because it's just randomly trashed all my textures anyway. 

Oh no!
Reload that earlier save, Banj!

Meanwhile I have now animated my Orc.
Not very well, admittedly. But he moooves.

In the end just using the Auto IK function was easier than adding my own targets but I did have to add one for his beady Action Man Eagle Eyes to "look at".

I reloaded an earlier save, but I had to make my way back through the city, collect all the items, then fight the boss all over again. Luckily the fight went better this time and I not only killed the boss, but also retained all the healing items I used up in the previous version of the fight. I am now back at the same point I was this time last week, albeit slightly better organised this time around. Unfortunately the hard part is in ahead of me. 

Better out than in....

I also blame the cat, even when it isn't involved in any way. 

Rendered my animation last night and only then found out that my timing was way out on the all the key frames.
So hard to get that right. Oh, no, he's blinking too slow, and his eyes are moving too quick, then he pauses for too long.

Anyhoo, I have now nudged various key frames forwards and backwards on the "Dope Sheet", whatever the hell that is, and I'm now ready for a re-render... when I have another 90 minutes of free computer time.
