xfrog Southwest Tree Library

Here are some basic xfrog models of plants. I'm showing them because there is not much feeling or 'heart' to them in terms of design. But, they do give good basic reference to images that we can put in the environment concepts and this won't distort our own personal styles/designs.

Network Folder is Up

2008-09-03T08:34:00.001-07:00

Ok guys the network folder that will be our "central hub" for accessing all of our information is up. To access: in Finder to go your HardDrive (filesystem on the linux boxes) > DPA > projects > 000_Western. One other issue, remember that the new Macs don't have a connection to the network just yet. We can hope that will be solved soon.

Great Sound Symphony

This is a video attributing Clint Eastwood as "The Man With No Man". The orchestra is composed by Ennio Morricone, on of the all time great. He is noted for his works on Sergio Leone's spagetti westerns. This also gets me riled up for a western!

The links are up

2008-09-02T17:16:00.000-07:00

Put up the links to the High Moon Rises and Temerario the movie for viewing access. To view the actual online comic "High Moon" which is a great source for visual development (Patrick nudge nudge) just click on the link they have in the upper left corner called "High Moon" or click here.
