March 4th mileston!!!!
Right now its coming to crunch time. Still working on the ferret but the milestone is basically less than a month away. I'm hoping to have finished the ferret completely and having the parrot at least started. Wish me luck with finishing up the two animals :D and thanks for watching.

Here is the full version of the playblast of the ferret lip sync. Next stop is animating her and also giving her facial expressions.
Here's a smooth version of the ferret doing the same lip sync:

Jingle Ball! Ferrets Toy!
Here are some examples of pictures of what the ball will look like in the ferrets cage:

The Ferrets ball is going to be split color, kinda like the one below. I'm thinking though instead of pink to do red.
For the holes of the jingle ball I really like the detailing of the blue jingle ball in the picture below. The holes are shaped as paw prints and that is what the jingle ball for the ferret will also have to give it more of a pet play toy and character to it :)

Ready for SHOW TIME!!!
The ferret is now completely rigged and ready to be animated she was placed in her environment. She will be animated shortly and some play blasts will be added to this blog. Also a picture will be added of her posing (me messing around with her new skeleton and abilities :D yay) To show how she bends.

![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtI1QO_4N24CA4xsXsDq9qhGbzPzdrs_UJSppu6Xtny7zUv5Dl-UFBlpByTrskG0uPdLK2DIGTqFtjn-R0BG9hqoMVPE01wW06y9NjZ2oky-oZMmiqtutBpF5sT1rgpsVuoh-zwLIT-g/s400/ferret_rigged_r.bmp)
IN the above picture the ferret is rigged and skin weights are fixed tha tit bends correctly. So the rigging is completed and a fast success thanks to "The Setup Machine"Woot!
Now the ferret will be getting eye color for her eyes and then imported into her scene where she'll be animated to the right sound file.

Are those Whiskers on that ferret?!?
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-f6hCPpvZ-1e-CFKNa9oJ3J52eXgYsun9Qnnq-anyYLSITIYxAcKnlbQPspCDJtiUfOhv9yawmeNo6xpJJ-rDyDk7svzbzcaeCKZvUiZmphKxtfbLiZqE5NBGBwHgxFUxvRrr9ChqOng/s400/whiskers3.bmp)
Yup there is now whiskers on the ferret, the picture above is an over the head shot of the head with the whiskers. Down below it shows how I was actually able to do it. It was very simple actually I just put one of my pictures that i had created of whiskers that has no background (is a gif file) and just placed it on a plane. Down below you can see the edges of the plane since I clicked on it and the lines are green.

Here are just a few angles of the whiskers to be shown, enjoy. Thanks!

The ferret getting colored
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
Update !!
The Cage has been updated with some colors now. The ground does have some light bump mapping to it as well. I still need to work on the flooring of the cage a bit and work on the ferret wheel in the background.
