For the last week non stop i've been working flat out on the new player models (all - batsmen, bowlers, fielders, umpires, wickys etc.) - making them much better looking, much smoother, much more advanced (and for less polys too) - im finishing off texturing now and i have to say the results so far are really impressive imho....i should have some screens for you in a couple of days...this is the biggest facelift that the project has EVER had.

cheers,

Few pictorial errors in the blog, but the entry is good and promising.

Is that by any chance because the two pictures are of Australian players?

just a quick update - i'm currently redoing many of the animations that were not up to scratch, having just completed rigging of the new models (skinning and boning in prep for animation). Animations are really important, so while im extremely happy with the new models, the old animations need quite a bit of work. I'm going to spend a fair amount of time to improve the animations, so may not be any tangible updates for a while. Once completed though, things will really fly along, as i'll be doing ALL animations in one hit. This means i'll be doing fielder and wicket keeper animations as well as improving batting, bowling and umpire animations. So once all animations are complete i will be able to populate the field with ALL players, meaning it will only be a short time after that we will see the keeper diving around and fielders chasing and catching balls That's when things will really start to get exciting as it will feel like a real game...

cheers,
