The last few weeks have been hectic as we had some last-minute requirements sort of indirectly imposed on us by Apple, but everything is wrapped up and sent off to Chillingo.

One of my next projects is a book on the Maya Python API for Morgan Kaufmann (publisher of David Gould’s Complete Maya Programming texts). Ryan Trowbridge and I will be working on this together over the next year, so it is sure to be fun and exciting. We have a pretty comprehensive plan for what the book will cover, but please do feel free to contact either of us if there are specific things you would like to see!

In other news, Crane Wars, the newest Blurst game, was released a couple weeks ago. Among other things, I focused primarily on the characters in it. I did a post awhile ago that showed the facial rigs I created for them. Go play it now!

Sorry world! Touch KO is wrapping up in a matter of weeks, as is our new Blurst game, Crane Wars. Ben did a little walk through today to show the internets what we’ve been doing. Around 2:00 to 7:00 I show a face rig I did up Monday for one of the characters. It is entirely bone-based. Take a look!
