I have not posted over here in quite a while, I have been posting but most of the activity is over on the group blog. More often than not I can't be bothered to repeat myself after posting over there so I guess I'll just sum up everything that's going down in a post here.
The last post I made was before I even started the head for the Hitman so as you can see in the screenshot from above and over at the group blog he was finished a little while ago.
Since then I have been working on my dissertation and doing some research into my next jobs for Whack'd.
I started researching blend shapes but put that on hold since Ferhan seems to be taking the lead on that, I may need to help him get some expressions sorted out but on the technical side he's got it covered.
We also need to start getting this texturing done and it falls to me to try and texture the characters I built, and since I don't know much about texturing I have been researching unwrapping UV's and simple texturing. I'm also planning to look a little at bump mapping but after talking to Sam about it I'm feeling sceptical.

Here are some links to fairly simple if not long winded tutorials I have found to help me out, with any luck I can crack on testing out the methods over the next couple of days and I'll have something more to show.
