Hello Everyone,

Well we finally got our act together and we have a project and a brand new website!

The website was built by me using WebPlus 8 software by Serif.  It's not perfect, but I didn't want to delay the launch any more.

I hope you like the premise of this project....I don't want to give anything away so......tada.....

www.pinheadadventure.com is now open for business.

Alley

Yay!  A new Pinhead Project. 

I'm so glad you didn't stay dead!!!  (Reference to a recent Pinhead Halloween video.)


I like the concept.  It's different, but in a good way.
Pinhead projects have always been about; a) Pinhead, and b) the story.
Not about specific software.

I like that this brave concept will appeal to those few die-hard 2D animators still out there.  And as you pointed out, it's great for Indigo users too.  I know a few people here have used iClone to create graphic novels, so maybe we'll attract some new participants.  It is also very newbie-friendly since you don't have to fight typical animation challenges.  But there will be plenty of challenges in coming up with a good script, lighting, music, and everything that's not animating motions.

Thank you for launching another project.

Now to start thinking.
Think, think, think....  hmmm...
Nope, need to think some more.
Hmm... think, think, think...

Great news for Pinhead fans past, present & new, with fabulous prizes. 

Since the Project is Pose & not Animation-based, new iClone Users can quickly & easily create any Pose from Animation Templates, by Dragging the Timescale Scrubber to the required Pose, Right-Clicking on Character/Remove all Animation. Done. You have your Pose.

If you have iClone's 3DXChange, you have unlimited Props you can use.

As usual, everyone piles in with help re; technical issues &how tos. I nominate Comic Strip specialist Shaky, as Project Technical Adviser.

There's a Moviestorm Pinhead Character on the Moviestorm Forum.

I've signed-up to the Project & signed Pinhead's new Guestbook.

BTW - I lay claim to "Pinhead's 10th Birthday Party" Title. Before anyone-else thinks of it.

Excellent news Alley - appreciate the efforts of all those who have made this possible - signed up!

Thank goodness! I am in the middle of an animated movie currently, so this project will provide the necessary "comic relief"!

I've always wanted to try and create a graphic novel story, so this is a good excuse...

It's also an area in which I'm a total newbie, so I will have lot's of questions. For example, how does one create speech bubbles?

Sorry, I haven't had my coffee yet, but when I sign up, where do I enter my location?

In Photoshop, there are some basic speech bubbles included.  But I was thinking that maybe we could provide a variety of speech bubbles for both thought and speech as a download.  I'll ask Joe, as he is a whiz at stuff like this.

I just changed the Heading "Comments" to "Where are you from".

Hi Gang -
Glad to see Pinhead back!!!  Here are some Speech Bubble png graphics for those who want them (just right click on the image, select "save
 image image as" & voila!




or for those who want them as props to throw right into your scene & then just add text desired to the diffuse map, here are the links to the iProps, just click on the link and save them to your props directory.

Speech Bubble #1iprop
Speech Bubble #2 iprop
Speech Bubble #3 iprop
Speech Bubble #4 iprop
The iprops will work in both iC5 & iC6.....  Just launch the diffuse map, add your desired text & save it.

Have fun!

Dearest friends of Walter P-
Those who know me well, know I love Pinhead... his quirks & shortcomings are so endearing & at times he is just so clueless, you just got to love the guy!!!
Unfortunately, I am unable to participate in this, which breaks my heart, due to medical circumstances... please forgive my absence from the competitors, but I really cannot join the competition when I can't even rely on being functional from one day to the next.

That being said, if anyone requires any assistance - a special character, prop, motion, whatever - I hereby offer my assistance to anyone & everyone involved.....  I am not the best developer out there, but I am sure I can assist in creating whatever you may require for your entry. Please feel free to email me at grannyj@grannyjs3dattic.com or contact me via Skype ( user ID is grannyjsplace) & I will help in whatever capacity is needed.  

To the committee - Thanks for your tireless & continued efforts to keep Pinhead alive & well in the community!  If I can assist you in any way, just let me know.  I can't wait to see what y'all come up with.
HUGS,
Granny J
