This week Demeter and Rik have been working part time on Storm for the release in November. Final tweaks, polishing and bugfixing have been the main tasks and it's looking sharp! Next to that, there has been a promo video in the making, showing of the character expressions and a quick demo of the rig in general. This will be released together with Storm in november. Stay tuned!

This week it was finally time to make the controls nice and clean. With the help of Demeter's Cloudrig, that comes with a bunch of premade bone widgets, i was able to make a nice and convenient setup. Check the video for a short demo!
