The issue with such huge projects is commitment, it would be hard for CGC members to be 100% committed. We have seen with the Backhoe people have real life issues to contend with. If not for these issues I would of expected the DOG done by now, or at least in the hands of @waylow for animating.
I think most people dream of making a game or animated movie when they begin learning 3D, including me, and then the reality kicks in and you realise how much work is involved and you will unlikely get very far on your own.
Wouldn’t it be great if dreams came true….
Seeing the DOG evolve and turn into a thing of beauty with everyone’s hard work is motivation enough for me, but I don’t need to go to work at the moment and have the time. If I did then money wins the motivational battle. I will have to go back to work at some point next year, then a project like the DOG would be hard to commit to.
@theluthier ,What I meant by “you could all ask for a pay rise” was the cookie crew getting paid more for their efforts.
