Just got back from a really productive seven hours in the lab. Stuff I accomplished:

  • Edna no longer has freaky points of skin poking out of her face, and is generally intact.
  • Edna is re-attired, and looks utterly hilarious. I’ll probably change some colors around, but I’m still just so entertained every time I look at her.
  • I learned that I’ve been rigging IK handles backwards all along.
  • I learned how to fix joint/IK issues so that my elbows bend the right ways, and how to limit joint range of motion.
  • Edna is totally rigged!
  • Edna’s skin weights are tolerable.
  • I learned about “baking”, which I will implement later. The number of puns on this

And all that in 5 hours! The rest of the time I was working on remodeling and rerigging my rat for its walk cycle.

Then I get home to the Serenity trailer! My verdict: GUH. Further analysis when I can stop watching it over and over on repeat long enough to form actual sentences.

Quote of the Day:

“Some times I wish your mom would just say something really vulgar and crude, just so we know she’s human. I think your mom is… Glinda the Good Witch, come to life. I keep expecting her to arrive with an army of munchkins, with a big froofy dress and a wand. Your mom seems like the type that could pull off a wand.” –Ko
