One of my favorite tools out of all that I have built, projector, has been updated to version 2.4! The worst part about v2.3 was how much time reprojector took to do it’s thing and the inspector windows popping up getting in the way. The best solution I could find at the time (about 1 year ago) was using GUI scripting which was a ridiculous hack that basically just presses the correct buttons quickly. 2.4 uses and includes the command line utility “seticon” written by Sveinbjorn Thordarson which changes icons very seamlessly. This update also allows changing multiple folder icons with projector and reprojector simultaneously. So if you have multiple folders you would like to add project folders to, drag them onto projector. If you have folders that all need the same icon, drag them all onto reprojector.

Another jaw-droppingly good bit of animation from the amazing team at Meindbender.
For a look at their process, take a look at this CGSociety article posted up awhile back discussing their early Cartoon Network bumpers. They are using the physically accurate Maxwell Render to do things that would be incredibly difficult to do with traditional stop motion but able to achieve using 3D packages and impeccable traditional animation skills. The only thing the computer is really letting them do here is have a more controlled workflow. I would love to see some storyboards, I am sure they have carefully keyframed these beautiful little shorts well before they even start thinking about rendering.
