Spleen Update 2-08-14: Just got off the phone again with Gene. His spirits are getting better daily. He gave me permission to speak more fully. When he went into the hopsital this last time his balance was so bad he couldn't walk. He is getting better. He said the hospital staff have nicknamed him "The Wobbler'. He started physical therapy today and while it's a bit early to know for sure how much good it's doing. It is already helping. He said he's looking forward to reading the posts on Facebook. So if possible post some funny "get well" shit on his wall every other day or so if you can. He can't read it now but it will be really cool for him to read when he gets out and back to his computer. ( Mike, I'll ghost write some material for ya so you won't have to feel left out.) We've been yackin about our next video and he REALLY wants to get up here and meet everybody. Please, Keep Praying! It's working, and when was the last time you got that good a return on your investment.

additional info Marilyn Lozano‎Gene Thompson Uncle Gene Thompson is in rehabilitation center and spirits are good. He will be there at least a week. He said he is excited to see everyone's posts and comments... He even said so!! He doesn't have his computer so he will have lots to read when he gets out! If anyone wants to contact we can share his info! Thanks for all the continued prayers and good wishes!

Fresh Spleen Update: Gene was moved to the new building this morning., and I hear his spirits are better. So the prayers must be working. Keep it up.

Myron LeRoy I just got off the phone with Gene "Spleengene" Thompson. He is back in the hospital with another stroke. His balance is severly affected. They cannot do an MRI because of his pacemaker. He will be moved today to the physical therapy building and is sounds like he will be there for a week. For those of you who are the praying kind, he could use a bunch of them about now.

tuba part of multitasking ? nicely done played with similar idea sometime ago with worm segments

tried a quick test with material it moves but thats about it stest.mov wondering if you made spiral a tube instead of patches I think it would distort better just a thought

did a quicktrial with sweeper plug in path shape and swept object started 125% mid 60% end 5% make shape shorter when extruding should may small patches as well as more steps trialspiral.zip

Quick thought if you have the spiral path you should be able to extrude along the path increasing the size as you progress..on chromebook now will try it in AM and post later

not as complex but might give you an idea how it could work http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45558

think you need 64 version of windows

Did quick rig and simple test need to make the rollers on feet move correctly..for test did turn in place then short path run mrobo1.mov

Good to hear ... rest

Have to rig it ..its suppose to roll on small wheels toon version

Nice work

first test circletest.mov second test circletest1.mov

Mr Largento is having a birthday I believe ....happy birthday Mark

Just read what gene posted on Face book Good Morning! All my life I have dreamed of being an animator. And through hard work by both myself and you great people I DID IT! now the bad news: Thursday morning I awoke and could barely walk, I have spent till now trying to shake it off.(ministroke) Today I feel no choice but to go to hospital. If for some reason I do not return to Facebook, I THANK ALL OF YOU.

Saw the movie this afternoon the character would be a lot of fun and have the different parts able to let go would work with some on/off poses ..
