I have each of these 3 heads in 96 different angles in switch files to allow head turns.

I'd appreciate any comments / feedback.

Wow. Are these 3D imports? What about lip-synching -- and expressing emotions? Blink cycles? Use of eyebrows?...They are very impressive, but if they are to be anything other than statues, then you have even more work to do!!

They are 3D imports.

I have eyebrows, eyes and mouths for various expressions, but am just going to set them up as I need them (and believe me, with the work involved, very few characters will be turning and talking!)

And here is what one looks like all together. Again, I have the entire body from 360 degrees to allow for the ever tricky, turning in Anime.

That's insane.

Hectic man. Cool. I'd LOVE to see that in action.

I'm working on a more simple scene to begin with that doesn't include winged guy. But he'll be taking to the skies soon enough.

The wings boned particularly well and I'm hoping for some impressive results, but I am still learning as I go with this.
