There was a lot of look development on Rippy.

The original version was based on the animatronic puppet but once the puppet crew spat the dummy and refused to show up on set we had the freedom to go full digital and create something a bit more realistic.

An early version top left - before the trauma, so cute! The droopy muzzle, top right was influenced by Roger, although our roo was built entirely from reference of Kangaroo Jack, bottom right, from Crocodile Encounter in Qld (you can find him on IG and Tiktok - ).

Initially the bar scene in Rippy was supposed to have the lights out and be very atmospheric. Due to the schedule they didn't have time for multiple light set ups so they went with all lights on - then almost a year later they turned the lights off in post.

I used to check my turntables by looking at image pairs in stereo.

NGSkinTools now free - soon to be native in Maya.

Removing license key management features, as ngSkinTools is now free for commercial use as well.

Licenses reacquired - time to get this guy's face on. Looking forward to kicking the tyres on Redshift inside zBrush.

Lixel Kitty K1 Beta testing. Impressive lidar/image scanner with local processing. Lightning fast, quality is not optimal but can probably be improved when I figure out all the bells and whistles. The viewer has this handy character you can drive around in your scenes.

Australian Horror film. Model and groom with Mudbox and Yeti. Several years after filming and with the actual animatronic pig dismantled and stored away in another State, the CG model was reconstructed from about 50 photographs.
