This is a back-dated post, so apologies for not going into too much detail about what’s going on here! This re-block is the very last moment before I splined the animation:
And here it is splined. It’s OK but I spent a very long time re-blocking, so I didn’t get a lot of time to clean the curves:
For those of you that are following me on Twitter, you may have seen an update earlier today that possibly broke the layout of wherever you get your regular twitfix! I apologise but I’d had a pretty bad morning. Not only has my “slightly under the weatherness” broken out into a fully-fledged cold but I had a bit of a nightmare trying to work out where the hell my copy of the Forza Motorsport 3 Limited Edition had gone!
It was sent out from Shopto on Tuesday and as such, should have been with me on Wednesday. Without going into a whole load of detail, there were some issues about where it was meant to be delivered. After calling just about every UKMail depot in the area and talking to Shopto numerous times to get them to chase up the issue as well, it eventually transpired that the package had gone missing. Pain. In. The. Ass.
Anyway, I got a refund and dragged myself down to a bricks and mortar shop to pay over the odds for it 8)
Still, it is now in my possession and man, it is nice:
Now, you might argue that I’m incredibly sad for taking some photos of a beautifully packaged game, but screw you asshole! I can’t help it if I really appreciate well-constructed cardboard!

With the Forza Motorsport 3 landing on 360 today, I thought it might be cool to celebrate the event by reposting some of the decal artwork I did in Forza 2 many moons ago:
Just click the images for the higher res versions over at Flickr. And yes, I’m aware there was a spelling mistake which I did fix (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you didn’t read this)!
The painting/artwork stuff really interested me but it was rather time-consuming and pretty troublesome given that you had to find a car with a big, flat surface to work on when designing stuff, then save it out and position where you actually wanted it. Forza 3 promises to make that easier by allowing you to design decals in 2D completely away from the car and then save out the decal group. From there you can apply it to the car or even stick it on the FM3 Storefront and sell it for in-game credits!
Can’t wait to try out the new editor! I really must get round to finishing this design as well:
Got my critique through yesterday morning. It was another good one, but once again I’m terribly concerned about how little time (and how much there is to do) before Sunday’s deadline. On top of that, I’m coming down with a cold and that certainly isn’t going to help proceedings! Here were Michelle’s main points on my work from last week:
So there you have it! Plenty of stuff to sort out and not many days to do it. Oh well! Here we go…!
