It might be nearly time for a computer upgrade. This shot took 50 minutes to render and I haven't even made a start on bevelling the bricks yet.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Guys, remember that it's important to always back up your files and also not delete them by mistake.

Meanwhile, here's the two main characters who aren't blips and Mr Teddington, who has a non-speaking role.

(I hope this works. I've left the picture private on flickr. Let me know if it's not showing up.)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[In case anyone was wondering, work is quietly progressing on this. I've booked a pro actor to narrate the story and Pete and Jeremy have been building away like crazy. I've been doing some lighting tests and trying to learn how to use Blender properly. I still have a little way to go on that score.

The basic CG blip looks like this at the moment. I'm planning to scuff them up a little and make them look more lifelike.

(Shout out to rioforce for his super useful [url=https://rioforce.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/lego-materials-in-blender-cycles/]Blender materials tutorial[/url], which I've been referring to a lot just lately.)

I'd also like to get it so the head domes light up when they talk but I don't know if that's going to happen. Lights and transparency don't mix in Blender world. It takes around an hour to get a clean render of this shot if I add a light to the lead blip.

So anyway, long story short, there's a ton of work to do before I get to start animating.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[It's unlisted because it's just a WIP motion demo rather than a film that I want people to see on my channel. And yes, it's magnets. How do they work? There's a tiny one from a Lego fridge magnet under the blip's dish and a larger M:Tron magnet under the table. It works surprisingly well. We also played table soccer with blips and a pea but no one filmed it.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[One thing that may not be commonly known is that real world blips are not static models - they move. This is some live action footage of them playing blipball with half a tomato.

We're aiming to reproduce this jerky, juddery movement in the CG animation. Because just regular smooth movement would be way too easy.]]></content>
