Hey! The first of two render passes is ALMOST 1/3rd complete. It's looking great so far. Don't worry, the 2nd render pass (the hair) will go much more quickly.
In other news, I purchased that Paint Weights plug-in. It's going to be a sacrifice. I am cooking my first of many rice & beans meal right now. ;) But the software is FUCKING AWESOME!!!! I will put it to work on the next animation. It's going to make the process so much easier.
If you are starved for entertainment, you can watch a video of someone playing with it in the video above.
More to come!! :)
