More Toy Story Infinity stuff

A Bullseye design from an original sketch by Jon Diesta. I included the sketch so you can see what changes I made while painting---Jons design got it somewhere awesome but there are a lot of form, shape, and detail adjustments I had to make to get it all feeling like the character.

Another mount for Toy Story that was based on Bullseyes rig.

The Toy Story sequel we were making pre-Infinity mostly just transformed into the Toy Story in Space Infinity playset, which meant some of the elements migrated over, like this tree. They changed the "leaves" to purple in the final game.

I got to work on some of the Zurgbots, with a lot of help from my coworkers.

This Zurgbot was fun to design. It shot out goo that changed the size of different things (other Zurgbots, the avatar, etc.) during battle, which would change their speed, hit points, and behavior. Finding a way to get the purple and green in there and still make it menacing was a challenge.

Making a recording of a little drumming bear toy for a Play

I have now a recording of the little drumming bear toy which is pretty good.
Its a rather specific sound, "squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak *drum* *drum* *drum*" and its good the sound weve recorded matches the toy (who will be on stage an performing also! :)
I havent done sounds before for something like this.

This is my recording setup now:

Karaoke microphones -> DVD -> TV -> laptop (TV has audio out).
Works pretty well. The microphones are from Lidl or Aldi.
I first used mobile phone to record stuff. Then Bluetooth sounds -> laptop. (and ffmpeg enabled for amr converting) Thats not great. Flat

Im using linux so mostly Audacity for sound editing, Ardour for playing, VLC/ffmpeg for converting.
We shall see this weekend how they sound in the theatre! Ulp! :)

This is what it is for: http://www.milltheatre.com/shows/seasons-greetings
