Animation Started

Have started to animate the character now. So far, about 6 seconds or so is completed. I've noticed quite some problems with my rigging and skin-painting, but I'm correcting them along the way. Hopefully, the number of seconds/day will increase as my rig gets more final, skinpainting gets done and most important - I get used to animating this specific rig.

Textures done

Well, I'm pretty sure I posted a post that got lost somewhere along the way... So sorry for the slow update on the graphics part.

Anyway, this is current status:
Textures are almost done! .. Everything except the reflection map and some tweaking. The problem is that I can't see the reflection map on my current card / pixel shader implementation. In order to see it, either Fredrik would have to write a specific pixel shader in 2.0 just for me to test the result - which would not only add more work but also a pitfall if the implementations would differ. The other solution - which also solves a future problem with not being able to test animation - is to aquire a gfx card with ps3.0, i.e. a gf6800.

After some serious problems with getting our school to even respond, we finally got rejected. And then another teacher ordered the card anyway. So, textures will be 100% done pretty soon after the gfx card has been installed.
