New Skills

A very busy week in Cloud Party, I worked on a new BEACHY build which ended up including a campfire (particle skills) a hanging beach bed in a cabana (Blender skills) and lots of practice on making items customizable.

It is so funny how simply thing are when you know how they work and so complex when you have no idea. Well learning is good.

Somewhere along the way I delved back into animations, mostly because I only had two - LOL; animations that don't have hands flowing through bodies are scarce in CP.

After trying to figure out how things worked in Blender with little info on the web for what "I" needed to do, I chatted up Rift and he told me how to delete those nasty keyframes ("right click and hit delete" - well DUH!).

Eventually I found one helpful tutorial and now I know the rules and pretty much how things work. It is much easier than Qvimator or whatever that program was called and I think working with BONES rather than FLESH is more to my liking.

So an animation shop is underway. Cool logo I think. Very simple and not all that much in there but limitless room for expansion and playing.

Cloud Party added PHOTO SHARING this week with photos showing up in the build where people took them. That's pretty fun.
