Hi Alastair,
one has to know at least some of your works to realize
you are kindly understating yourself and your teams abilities.

One, two character driven spots add up to quite a few over
the years, not juts experience wise :-)
All that stuff is definitely above average, to say the least.
One would get a lot more from you guys than just the even
of a crunched six weeks shedule.
Cheers,
tim

There are a few factors:
How experienced/practiced you are
What's the intended application, how close up its to be seen, how subtle the
animation
If there is a pre-existing design.
What you're clients are like.
Taking all that into account, at a generalist commercial post production
company like ours where we do characters every now and again (one or two a
year). We have talent but not
regular practice. Where its to be seen up close. Its on screen for 20 seconds.
The clients are averagely demanding. There are thumbnail designs. I'd say:
6 weeks split broadly evenly between modelling, rigging, texturing/shading.
Now if I was a specialist doing this everyday it might take half that. If it
was a gollum it might take a lot longer.
Don't quote me on that!

Hi List,
I'm curious to know how much time someone would spend to model, texture and rig
an alien character(including rig for facial animation), reference is Paul the
alien. I need an
average estimate.
I apologise for the non technical mail.
TIA,
Royston
