Hey guys, I hope everyone is well.
I've recent been working on a new personal project of mine; its a story surrounding an idea that has always intrigued me. Have you ever looked up in the sky and noticed a cloud that looks like an elephant, a dog, etc. and wondered if that was pure coincidence. This short animation will be about a character that makes those shapes in the clouds to cheer up a sad and lonely child.
So here is the draft script:
Please let me know what you guys think - I need a lot of constructive criticism on this one. Thank you

Project Teaser
I have started a new project called "The Cloud Maker" I will not reveal anything about the project at the moment because it is in it very early stages. Once I have a decent script and storyboard (possibly an animatic) I will then post up some new detail.
Hopefully this title teaser may have you looking forward to more - Please enjoy!

Fish Process
I started off by re-texturing the fish, just because I was happy with how limited it looked - he needed life. I took him into Mudbox and stuck a really nice scale texture predominantly on his stomach. I'm very happy with look of the fish now.
Rigging
This rigging process was achieved by pulling together all the things I already new about rigging - It was like a jigsaw. I saw loads of tutorials online but they were all way to extensive, so I made my own. It is mostly made of very simple joint chains with a Control that controls the rotation values of the joints chain's hierarchy, which make the end joint move at 100% and then parent joints are halved in power. This give me a smooth wave like motion.
However sometimes it had its funny problems.

Blendshapes
The eyelid blendshapes for the fish was always going to be difficult, but I think have done a very good job at creating some convincing eyelids.
(Army!!!)
Skinning
The skinning for this character was very easy! and it all works smoothly.
