Hi Leonard, thanks a ton to you for releasing those tools, and Royale for generously funding it). I remember I was blown awy when I saw the commercials, so much detail in the animations, and so organic - top notch work, and the operators look very robust and flexible too.
I was never lucky enough to work on a project (besides when I was still making games, but not in commercials) that allowed for such sophisticated tool development. Out of personal interest: How long did it take to develop it up tho this point of maturity? Could you recycle pieces from LKLighnting? Again thanks a lot!
