Project 2 update

I spent the afternoon experimenting with getting some 3D renderings of my character, similar to what was done in my research. In the end I created a full 3D model, taken exactly from my 2D vector character, which can be easily animated, rendered, and turned into a sprite animation in flash. My character was fairly simple to model, although the jacket and hat were a little frustrating to get right, and I'm still not completely happy with either yet. Overall I am pleased with my progress so far and now I confidently feel that I can use the technique i looked at in my research to create a nice looking landscape for my character.

Here's a shot of the original vector image, and the final 3d Model
