I'm on TV!

Well, not me, but something I made. I happen to know somebody who was involved in this project, and he came to me for a custom plush, since they needed something unbranded for it. It was fun to make, and even more fun seeing it animated.

Almost Magic.

Aww, it's very cute! Amazing how they make the eyes move, that confuses me!!!

[bladespark]

The eye moving is a digital effect.

So cleaver, I'd love to do animation.

I tested an animation programme once, it was a bit like the SIMS, we could make up funny stories, mine were hilarious!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice! That is one gorgeous plush. I wonder how they moved the eyes: did you do green screen material for them?

[bladespark]

No, I didn't. I guess the guys doing it are just that good. Or something, I don't know enough about how hard this kind of thing is to do.

Cool beans! The walk cycle is awkward but the head motions and the photoshopped eye movements and blink are pretty slick. 8^)

[bladespark]

I suspect the walk cycle is janky in part because the plus doesn't want to move in the kinds of places that real animal joints would move.

Was there wire in the legs to help hold them flexed?

[bladespark]

I didn't build the armature, so I don't know how it was made. There was something or other, though, to hold poses.

Fun things!
