And now something completely different: python gumbies

Hi Folks

Programming python in a company and also here for MakeHuman sometimes is a rather one-dimensional world. If I am not so successful, I mostly turn into a person, which is known as a gumby in Python world.

For those who are not aware: the language python got it's name as a tribute to the British comedy group Monty Python. Gumbies in "reality" look like this:

So we need: a small moustache, a handkerchief on his head, spectacles, braces, a knitted tank top and wellington boots.

I asked Elvaerwyn to help me. After only one day I got the meshes. Cool. So I added missing textures and tweaked it a bit, so that it works with MakeHuman.

This is a cooperation between Elv and myself.

Elv did the boots, the shirt, the handkerchief, trousers and braces (I use British terms here ;) ). Thank you Elv, it was a lot of fun.

Although this guy has the same size like John Cleese (1.96m) and therefore is taller than me, it is just the typical confused person I am after hours of programming :mrgreen:
Especially when I got another surprising stack dump from our python code where I never expected it ...



Greetings and Merry Christmas

There is an older instance of "Gumby" as a clay machine animation TV show from the late 50's early 60's the lead character a green play-doh kid and his pony Pokey just do goggle on gumby and pokey and watch some videos :geek: BTW figures are still available :lol:
Do like the frazzled look you gave the character PD.

Enjoy the Choice :)
