Progress Update: Nothing. Unfortunately I have been busy working on other projects, and having only a 2 person crew has put TFS at a standstill at the moment. I DO want to finish this film, no matter how much of a drag it seems to have been lately. I can't quit...too much has been accomplished so far.Anyway, I want to let you guys know The Filthy Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215941384972155195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253354977028336818.post-3455809552475657102008-09-16T12:42:00.003-05:002008-09-16T12:48:55.027-05:00Whats up!?Why have there been no post you ask?

A ball will fit inside a sphere. A cylinder shaped object will fit into an elongated cube. After doing more research (after posting this tutorial) I have discovered that using a basic shape like this is an overkill, but if you were to The Filthy Spoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08215941384972155195noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253354977028336818.post-49013634422070831152008-05-16T15:42:00.000-05:002008-05-16T15:42:01.146-05:00Dust and ParticlesJC Said in regards to my dust particles video...Interesting...
