Creature Factory has evolved in many different ways since my earliest sketches roughly eight months ago. Even though its main production period was only about two weeks - resulting in roughly 40 hours of captured material - it had to appear as if it could’ve been part of something bigger.

So I kept onadding and adding stuff, until it became too complicated and literally turned into this huge monster… And then when Project Peach started I couldn’t finish it anymore.

Most recently I had a look through the original first 40 hours and realized that by themselves, they already conveyed what I wanted to show in the first place - without all the unnecessary extra pieces I prefer to treat separately in a more elaborate way later on.

On the disc you will find everything I created for the Creature Factory teaser. The 40 hours have been sped up and commented. There are also some extra tutorials to document the techniques used more in-depth. Of course you also get all the blender files, textures and steps saved in the process.

I hope you find it useful, enjoy!

Looks pretty exciting from what I’ve seen so far. Way to go. Andy still has some DVD authoring to do, we will try to keep you updated here.

Hi everyone!

Andy is pretty busy with some projects, so he asked me to handle all the website business and email contacts from now on. We managed to get a new site running today, as well as a new and updated gallery.

As far as Andy is concerned, after finishing an article for 3Dworld and the magazine cover, he disappeared to Amsterdam where he supports the online release of Big Buck Bunny, as well as finishing his Creature Factory Tutorial DVD and giving Blender courses. He will give a talk about the movie together with director Sacha Goedegebure at CGOverdrive, Singapore. Until further notice all the communication will be handled by me.

More to come, enjoy our new site!
