I'm 99.9999% positive we will be completely finished modeling our DOG backhoe by the time this stream broadcasts! After 7 months in the making, this is a big deal. I imagine this stream will be celebratory in nature, looking over the final model, and demoing either the modeling of the floor mat (which requires all other interior parts to be completed, or possibly exploring what an exploded-view animation could look like.
The demonstration portion of the stream explores the anatomy of an assembly animation. When we have a model as complex as this backhoe, what cooler way to show it off than seeing it "build itself" piece by piece? Though it may appear complicated, thankfully it's not too difficult to animated this kind of thing.
This complex model is a collaborative effort between instructor and Citizen members. If you're interested in the project please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!

Yeah I remember last month stream with the shading
[Q] from 100 to 124 is actually 25 frames ;) doesn't matter,of course
yes you did
like a dog leg etc.
I thought you meant animating as a whole DOG not in parts
Sorry Omar haha. You may want to ask that question again.
The rigging is the hard part
[Q] The TIE Fighter is a bit stylized with black and red lighting, will we go with a Ambient Occlusion look or so other thing?
[Q] i just meant animating the digger digging and the loader bucket loading up.....that part sounds hard
