That's it folks, the LAST IMAGE.

After ten years, I can't tell you what a learning experience this has been, from where I started. with No Schools to teach cgi art around here, and none really in SoftImage, I had to learn as I went. and I've STILL got a long way to go.

The ENTIRE reason behind this project was two fold.

One - To help me stick with it. Usually I start something and never finish with it, getting distracted with something else....or just getting daunted by the task. this is the first time in a while i've seen something all the way through.

Two - One big tribute to one of my favorite franchises. Plus, I've always wanted to try and fix some animation errors that have bugged me for 24 years every time my OCD sees them ;o).

Just knowing that Rob Paulsen, the voice of Raphael, Pat Fraley, the voice of Krang, and Bill Wolf, Producer of the original show have been enjoying the progress and appreciate the work makes it all the sweeter to get to this end point after ten years....starting way back in animation master in 2005 with a short ten second test clip... Then finding softimage a year or two later and having to learn all over again.

thank you all to those that have followed this project for the last 5 or so years on here. FINAL Video upload comes tonight.

Now is a time to rest for a bit before deciding what to do next.

A little preview look at the retrospective making of video coming soon.

I guess there is a difference between softimage 2006 and softimage 2016.

*Vegita-San* · 04-29-2016, 10:07 PM

The Final Sacrifice....err, upload.

That's it. It's done.

There are still some things i'd like to fix, but if I tried to fix everything, it'd never 'look perfect'. but, at least I think it's watchable.

Hope you've enjoyed the decade long experiment.

time for a bit of a breather.

Now that I have time to relax, I can concentrate on refining the newer models. Krangs android was the first one to get redone for 2016.
The New Base Turtle model was just finished today.

Now, it's time to finish the new 2016 Shredder model. Built totally from scratch...in this case, a grid rather than a spehere...

*Jephael* · 04-30-2016, 11:11 PM

Hey just for fun, could you do a CGI model of me as my Jephael character? PM me back if you'd be willing to do that.

*Vegita-San* · 05-02-2016, 08:09 AM

still have too many things i want to do. can't take on extra stuff sadly.

Watch the series in it's entirety.

*Vegita-San* · 05-02-2016, 11:27 AM

Testing out the new model. it's just about there....

*Vegita-San* · 05-02-2016, 09:18 PM

More main model changes..

*Vegita-San* · 05-03-2016, 10:32 AM

The hopefully final change to the new turtle model. I can live with that. and the upgrade to the title card....

I guess it's an improvement to the old card done in 2012.

*Vegita-San* · 05-03-2016, 03:17 PM

A fun look back. 2009 vrs 2016

*Vegita-San* · 05-03-2016, 03:50 PM

The new walk/run cycles are done.
now to concentrate on finishing shredder.

*Vegita-San* · 05-03-2016, 09:37 PM

These are for sale, Nickelodean. Now we can fully concentrate on shredder

Now we can fully concentrate on Shredder..

*Vegita-San* · 05-04-2016, 01:49 PM

'We're really hip.' I can live with that as an upgrade.

*Vegita-San* · 05-05-2016, 06:39 AM

Almost there. the middle arm gauntlet needs better shaping...and the hands arn't looking right yet.

*Vegita-San* · 05-05-2016, 06:58 AM

Just about... hands and bottom legs and that'll be it.

*Vegita-San* · 05-05-2016, 11:59 AM

Now that Shredder is just about done....the Technodrome is next, BUT.. the start of the new April model.

*Vegita-San* · 05-06-2016, 09:41 AM

I can live with that
