Surreal to have monthly updates about something I've hoped to look forward to for something like 23 years. Loving the look, can't wait to see the models in motion!
-
The models look great, can't wait to see them rendered to look like 2D! Love these more frequent updates!
-
Nice update, guy
-
Props on keeping with your promise of monthly video updates. Keep it going!
-
Dang Guy. Cal always gets the girl. He even got a girl to 3D model him.
-
I get what David says. When I was learning how to draw male characters, I Googled tons of male torsos. So now my Facebook page is full of ads of almost naked men promoting underwear and stuff.
-
The models look great! On behalf of this fan, thanks for all of your hard work everybody!
-
The 3D models look great tbh
-
Seeing so many people not get why 3D models have been chosen. If done right, you can take 3D models and have them appear 2D with certain shading & lighting techniques. Look at Spiderverse or Klaus, but then think “smaller budget variant”. That’s what this movie will likely look like… and I think it can be pulled off well!

Hey guy thanks for the new update guy keep up the hard work! :)
-
It's been happening!!!! But it's actually happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would strongly doing an interview with Rebel Taxi, he likes to interview cartoonists, and he's obsessed with your show, I would also recommend talking with Doug Walker.

As someone in school for 3D animation, this is some really valuable stuff! Rare to see people bring up Cinema4d, glad it's getting some love 😎

Hell yeah! I love me a "hair flip" toggle! The first handful of shows I worked on were doing the "3D but look 2D" style, and we had a few characters that had a cowlick to didn't work from one angle. So we made 2 sets of hair and toggled between them mid pose change, and it always looked so slick in real time! These are looking awesome!

David is low key my hero haha
-
Undergrads, Clone high, Mission Hill, The obblongs... that was my jam
-
I’d be honoured to do the soundtrack on the house. Just like a copy of the movie! My mastered stuff is on my album on Spotify I have some rough stuff on the channel :)
-
Thanks for the update, I am really looking forward to this movie.
-
Nice update!! Love this nerdy behind the scenes stuff. I also hope we get some sort of update on the soundtrack music as well...the series had some of the best song choices that fit everything so well. It's one of my main concerns since MTV was probably heavily involved with that back in the day. Fingers crossed!

Let's go!
