The "Project Bertram" area is where I'll post all things related to the character "Bertram" (I've been using an old version of him as my avatar, I'll update that soon)...he's the main character in several small animations that I want to try to get done. Bertram is a chain-smoking, beer drinking Texas redneck (if you're familiar with the comedy of Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, Bill Engvall or Larry the Cable Guy...that's what I mean). I think of him as being like Yosemite Sam, in that he's always the same guy no matter what the setting or costume.

This project, actually it's several small projects with a common main character, is what I'm going to use to try to push what I know and try a lot of things that I've never done...I'm not sure I'll be able to do all of them, but I'm going to try. Questions, comments and suggestions/critiques are always welcome.

As the project progresses, I'll be releasing things that might be helpful to other members of the community...tutorials, models, examples, etc. The first tutorial will be an update to the Squetch Rig installation tutorial...which I'm thinking will be posted in the "Rigging" section of the main forum.

Thanks to Martin for providing this sandbox...I'll try to keep the area clean.

Looking forward to this David, great idea

I've been curious about your character (Bertram) ever since you first mentioned him.
Finally... we get to find out more about him here.

I look forward to your insight into the creative process of character animation too!

Will Bertram wear the gymnast suit that we talked about?

That's one of the things I want to do with him...the way he's dressed now is for a series that I want to do with him working in an office environment. I've got a lot of things I want to do, but I'm not sure how many will actually happen yet.
