Friends, here is an update From the Galiwango, Obulamu Bw’ekisodde Film Studio | An Animated mountain Gorilla Conservation Film, written in Luganda, Uganda’s most widely spoken local language | Production Diary update – Galiwango Fur/Hair render and 3D environment.

Hair Study with jungle atmosphere.

Here is an earlier animation render of a Galiwango Hair study created with Fur and Hair in 3DS Max

This is a Book Trailer I shot and directed for my wife’s new book, “God’s Perfect Size, Gain Victory and Lose Food Addiction for Life, by Kim Jagwe. Script was written by Sandra Reynolds, Co-Written by Kim Jagwe (ww.kimjagwe.com). Book Published by Tate Publishing. You can read more about the book at http://www.godsperfectsize.com

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand Firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery”
Galations 5:1

Book Excerpt “He was our natural father, but he rarely touched us. I threw my arms wide open, waiting for his embrace. An eternity passed in those few seconds. The embrace never came. So I held my arms out once again, but this time I said, ‘Will you pick me up too?’” A smile slid across his face, and my heart soared. I took a step forward ready for my moment. I felt him move back. Had he lost his footing? I was about to try again, but he stopped me. He peered into my eyes and said, ‘I can’t pick you up. You’re too fat, just like your mother.’ In that instant, he confirmed all of my fears, and I knew he was right. I was too fat… too fat to like, too fat to love, too fat to matter.”

That was a crucial point of development in author Kim Jagwe’s life. As a young girl already wearing adult sizes, her fears and insecurities were confirmed and exposed by her own father.

Here is another render of a jungle shot of Galiwango – He is much older in this scene. The “Galiwango, Obulamu Bw’ekisodde” film is set in the virunga mountains and the jungles that hug the ranges bordering Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

This is my latest update over at the Galiwango Film website – http://www.galiwango.com. I am working on a new texture map and hair system for the main mountain gorilla character. Hair systems are expensive to render so i have to find work arounds.
