Description
Time to make this shit happen!Tonight I start handing out shot files to the animators, so they can finally get down to the business of animating Companionship! And yes, all those colored lines all over the place serve a real purpose. Animation isn't pretty. Until the lighters are done with it, anyway.
Very excited, the current batch are all for a teaser trailer we're working on.

so why are computer animated characters always in T-stance?
Is it the best or tradition or what?

It's a modeling/rigging standard. I could take a stab at the reasons why, but I'd just be assuming things.

There are some very good answers to the question here:

Some get more detailed than others, but one person aptly noted that it's similar to the reason you would model the fingers open and separated, rather than in a fist.

I always thought that this was something I'd just have to accept and never know exactly why.

Can't wait for this! Now I have something to do with my account. I'm pretty much artistically talentless. Maybe one day I'll get into animation. But before I do that I will need a lasting sense of determination and patience. Ha ha! Who am I kidding?

Oh, Valve gave us permission a while ago
We just need to credit their copyright on things we out out publicly, and when the Kickstarter launches we have to make it clear the money is strictly for production costs. Those were their only two conditions. It's a huge weight lifted, not worrying about getting shut down!
