Kit Cat Kid's Cause "fur" (Non-Compliant) Complaint ~
~ Friday August 14 2009
~
Nursie says today I am to have an
early bath
She's drawn it up and filled it full before a blazing hearth
I do not care for being clean
I do not wish to wash
There is no need to primp and preen
Nor in the water splosh
But Nursie
says she can't concur
With what I REASONABLY aver
She's lunging at me with big jugs
And scrubbing <<<HARD>>> behind my lugs
Her claim's they're full of cabbages - which REALLY ticks me off
I NEVER go near vegetables - they're NOT my sort of scoff
She shrieks that I'm a "dashed cross-patch"
Who should "Sit still !"
And be "Less shrill !"
And never - NEVER - scratch !

KIT CAT KID CREATION ~
Above is the first animation that I have made
with
the .6th
version. of
Reallusion's .Crazy
Talk Pro..
I haven't looked at any of the new software's
in-program multi-head/camera-panning capabilities
and I don't "puppeteer", instead I manually keyframe the motions.
The kitten-character was freshly fitted
(and has
(illuminated) OWL's not CAT's eyes) to take
advantage of the just-introduced and
very welcome second mesh.
This extra framework of facially-independent
points can be positioned to bound appendages
to the skull (hair, ears, horns, hats) that were
formerly a, sometimes unsurpassable challenge
- too awkwardly-shaped and/or located to be
sufficiently served by the generic template of
a bald humanoid.

KIT CAT KID CRITICISM ~
I don't like the jerky ending, the aqua angles
aren't convincing, the font is too small with
some unclear lettering and the running water
MAY be too loud ; nevertheless THAT is staying
as it gives the cat (and everyone else) CAUSE
"fur" (non-compliant) COMPLAINT.

KIT CAT KID CAMEO ~
There's an audio cameo from my
beshteshtest mate at the end.
He would be crosser than Kit Cat Kid
if he knew I'd been foolin' with a feline
(...again !)...and envious...
~
NOT THE RIGHT STRIPES ~
...perhaps a little "green" (though
with no
connection to Joni
Mitchell's "Blue"-bound blues)
but not as (fishily (?) not
wishy-washily)) "green around the gills"
as this grumbling guy as he finds the
green screen in his green screentest tested
by some silly hues ("Grant"ed
not Laurie
or
blues) at edges the colour of hedges.
