I’m brainwashing Ferretbunny’s clone. This little guy is for videos in which Ferretbunny has to appear. ….but because of his busy schedule, can not be bothered.  This micro-bunny is programmed in Xpresso, sort of. Using a series of cubes as controllers, this little guy can be made to move. He’s like a robot: brainless. This whole deal should work, in theory. Activating Cappucino (a Cinema 4d plugin that records keyframes live during playback-found in the “character” menu-) I should be able to click-hold on say the controller that moves his arm (a cube) and drag my mouse left and right while he talks, thus making his arm move up and down. Same goes for all of the other parts on his boday. I made things as simple and ergonomic as possible.

He has been spotted in a large field somewhere in the plains of Florida. He is reportedly following some butterflys that are guiding him back to civilization. It is uncertain if he will be able to maintain a steady pace as butterflies move really fast and he’s like a ferret and stuff. In an unrelated story, this one time I heard he was found disheveled in a gutter and then he dranked some junk from this bottle and that’s what gave him the power….. to move…… his bunny ears. True story.

Ferretbunny’s logo is now in a kind of 3D-state. This is a render straight out of Maxon Cinema 4D version 11. He is, as usual, perched atop his logo but this time, it’s been rendered out in high definition and layered onto a 3D replica of his background. Okay the logo itself is flat but it looks better now and will give me way more possibilities when it comes to framing it. Ummm… the page peel is in 3D and actually peels now. Not bad. It’s a little flat looking but it gets the job done. In the future I might render it out with a different camera to remove most of the perspective from it and skew the angle a bit for artistic purposes. Use one of those Orthographic cameras(?) (bird’s eye or parallel cameras)…and I might add a pixely or maybe ultra clean apple-esque-ely designed mouse pointer that goes up and clicks on the url up on the right. idk…
Anyway  this bunny is basically ready to roll in his new logo. This ferret is gonna paint the town pink.
He’s gonna go out and get it done. He’s gonna have his cake and eat it too.
Here’s a list of things he’s also gonna do:
- buy mayonnaise and eat it
- invite plinkos to his crib (idk what plinkos are…)
- dance dance dance the night away
- party like it’s 1899
- party like it’s 1999
- go home and soak his feet
- resume partying once he recuperates

Rub a dub dub. His whereabouts unknown at the moment, even to him, he’s reportedly sitting in a tub taking a little siesta while his bunny-bunions get a good soak. Last I heard, he found a small rustic cabin, complete with amenities, in an abandoned ghost town. The ghost-less town is located somewhere on the outer edges of northern Panama, so he says.
We’ll continue to bring you late breaking coverage on his exploits as part of “Ferretbunny-Watch-2008″.
Now back to you in the studio!
