The wedding business is over!

After a crazy week of partying with family and enjoying a a wedding, its time to get back to work!

I'm going to start on my Bone/IK script this week. Right now I'm figuring out what I want it to do and how my interface is gonna work. Should start working on it by week's end and hopefully have it done by early next week..

I also recently had two dreams in the past two weeks. I've written them down and have started drawing them out.. Hopefully I'll make both into animations at some point in my life.. But for now they're in the journal at least.

Finished up the Group Nodes Script.

Nothing Fancy.. Just creates my groups for me. But the procedures I wrote into it, I'll be using for other scripts later down the line.

Next... Bone and IK creation scripts!

Inbetween two weddings and a trip, some work gets done!

So I went to Austin, Texas for a couple of week in January to visit some friends. After that I had a wedding and two later, I still have another wedding this weekdend to go to. Lots of fun, but less time for work..

So I've been doing some scripting here and there..I always try it every year, but I always want to get straight to animating and rig by hand... So I leave the scripting to other people. Even though I took programming classes back in the day Now that I have this TF2 project, I have a purpose to make these scripts cause to rig 9 characters would take a while. I'm gonna work as if I have a whole animation pipeline to create.

Right now I'm writing up a script/GUI to make empty group nodes. I can input a prefix/suffix and then make whatever group nodes I need for my rigs.. Like IKs, Bones and such. I type in the name.. click the button and it creates the group nodes(ex. "Prefix_IK_GRP)

Very simple but its a tedious repetitive task that can be easily automated.. I'll eventually roll this script into a larger rigging pipeline.

Next I'm starting on making scripts for creating bones and IKs.
