New venture

Unread postby KCJones » Thu Aug 20, 2020 4:54 pm

Some time ago someone bought a set of all my figures (people) to populate his route. I am afraid he was disgusted with them and demanded his money back. !!**sorry**!! In my defense, they were made back in the days when we were fighting for better frame rates and they were only intended for distant background scenes. Still his comments stung me into experimenting with Blender and Briage. The link below takes you to a Youtube video of some of the results.
Let me know what you think? Is it a project worth perusing?

On a related note,one of your promotional videos from some years back had people walking to a destination. Did you ever make that asset available? Just curious. I would purchase that "pack".

Here is another set of animated figures to add to the list. Just one more to finish, station staff, and I will put them on my web site.
