Been working on him on and off lately; work gets in the way. =)
His name is now officially "Duddles". Of course, this is fairly irrelevant to the film, but it helps to give him a name, history, etc. for animation/personality.
I did a bit more texturing, and fixed his floating condition. Poor Duddles, he was so very floaty! The new green pills his doc prescribed helped immensely with his anti-gravity-itis.
I have also been rigging up his face so he can *emote*. Since he has no speaking role his expressions must be so very expressive.
I also fixed up his cloak. Now it doesn't do funny-shoulder-business. Much more controllable, now that I added non-rendering "thread"-splines to rein-in the cloth simulation...
Whee. I am such a control-freak. That's probably why I love 3-D; my god-complex is rearing its silly head again...
