Re: Animated feature film in South Africa hiring

Thanks for keeping track of us! We're making excellent progress. The team is currently finishing off rough previs, as well as the modelling, texturing and rigging processes. Animation tests should start pretty shortly.

Ideally when you save, MyScene.scn would be overwritten, and also be copied to a user specified backup folder and appended with timestamp and user initials.
