This project has always been a bit of a favourite for us, one that was started along side sunday union. Sealegs Sam is a pirate, who stumbles across a metal fortress in the middle of the ocean, while smuggling a small boat full of rum. His curious nature gets the better of him and he goes exploring. On his travels he picks up a friend with a few special talents of his own, steals a jet bi-plane and discovers a skull shaped island full of hidden treasures and some unfriendly natives. All this has been rattling around for a while, and is now getting fleshed out and made ready.

This project is another that needs to be converted over to Blender from Lightwave. We have recently created a nice rig for the 'Pulse' project that will work well with these characters. Blender allows for really quick rig switching and we have already converted the lightwave objects to Blender scene files. We're currently re-modelling areas of the figures to implement new techniques.

We have produced a fare few test animations for this project using Lightwave, which have come out well. We've been really pleased with the mood of the scenes and hoped to improve the animations using the new Blender rig. Being able to import Lightwave objects into Blender has made life so much easier, and the conversion process is really quite accurate. We hope to have the two main characters fully re-rigged in the next couple of months and then it will be the start of the scene animations. We will post any developments on this page as soon as they are ready!
