This is George. I had a little bit of extra time and I’d originally wanted to use him in an animation for the recent Project Resolution with the prompt, “Accidental Thinking”. I may still complete the animation with him, but I think I’m defintely going to be using him more as a […]
Well, I promised in the last post to show the animations that the students who attended Red Hat High completed. Here they are (encoded in Quicktime’s mp4 format and wmv)!

And there you have it! This is incredibly exceptional work for the short amount of […]
Man-oh-man… what an excellent week. As you may have read on the Hand Turkey Studios news page, I spent last week at North Caroline State University teaching Blender to a brilliant pack of rising 8th and 9th graders in a program called Red Hat High. Working with two other members of the […]
Still pushing on this one. I’ve made a lot of little tweaks and some fairly major adjustments. As you can see, the Monkey Lizard now has hands and feet. Not only that, but I put a fair amount of work into detailing his midsection and tail. A fair amount of tweaking […]
Truckin’ along at a pretty good clip with this one. The Monkey Lizard now has a [rough] body. The arms are nearly finalized, but the lower body needs a fair amount of work. His midsection needs a bit more definition and his legs are in need of severe tweakage. He […]
Most of the 3D work I’ve been doing recently has been geared toward the cartoony, stylized side of things. It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and done any organic modeling that’s hinted toward realism. So I scoured my sketchbooks and ran across something I’d drawn a little over a month ago. […]
Here’s an update on this for you guys. The Firefox Flicks contest finished at the end of last month. No, we didn’t win. However, the pieces that did win were pretty good (of those, my personal favorite is the one called “This is hot”), so we don’t feel all that bad about […]
So the first Magicman animation is finally complete! Woohoo! This on is called “Coin Trick.” We’re planning on making a series of these adventures in magic with this guy. Like I said before, we’ve got lots of plans for this little guy (most likely to his detriment), so you’ll have to […]
Alright… so maybe that title is a *bit* over the top. However, I’ve been having a lot of fun getting this little guy to act. He’s turning out to be quite a pleasure to work with. He’s fully rigged now and I’ve completed most of my tests with him, so I’ve […]
Here’s a sneak peak at one of our most recent side projects that we’re working on. Magicman, meet the readers of sheep-dot. Sheep-folk, this is The Magicman. His model and textures are pretty much finalized and he’s rigged for posing. I have a few more tweaks to do on the rig and he’ll be ready […]
