Animation Dock

The traditional animation desk for iPads. Official stream-of-production consciousness about our LIVE Kickstarter from @Cowkitty, with (prolly) less cat photos.

All the wood cutting (and sanding. SO. MUCH. SANDING. ) is complete, and we've already begun staining.

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

@OverBillXIV Yes! All the custom third party manufacturing is complete. We're now staining the wood and beginning assembly. :D

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

@GingerAnimator No worries! :) As soon as we start shipping our backers' docks, we'll have info for new orders. Very very soon. :D

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Just finished picking up our powder coated metal discs AND all of the wood is prepped for final finishing. :D ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED.

I might not have a magic wand to make everything move faster, but I do have a magic box to make more freebies for you while we wait. :)

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Working on writing the latest update, but here's a teaser of an extra that's in store for your rewards. <3

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Lots and lots of wood staining minis last night, tho the early sunsets makes things a bit challenging.

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Metal disc @AnimationDock production in progress! Can't wait until this box is full.

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Metal prototype is officially approved! Production is now in progress. :D

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

@OverBillXIV Me too. I'm the most impatient of them all. >_< I know this is a first run, but I really want it polished before going out.

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

@PCaldora Thanks for asking! For non-Kickstarter backers, I'm hoping by the end of the year. :)

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

@OverBillXIV I've learned it's hard to estimate when there's multiple developers involved. ;_; However, we are very very close. :)

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

@iamcarljones Thank you! For non-Kickstarter backers, I'm hoping by the end of the year. :) We're very VERY close to a final design.

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Gorgeous black powder-coated metal prototype. #Soon. :D

More photos of the corners in are up on our Tumbler blog. Photoset: http://t.co/MeqTdtePyt

And version 6 is the winner. The corner now fits perfectly on the wood base.

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

I definitely feel like I've grown in 3D modeling in the past year. :D I'll be printing tests of these today.

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Had a late night in Google Sketchup designing Art Deco box corners for the wood bases. I'm damn proud of me. :D

[Animation Dock @AnimationDock]

Almost done! Few more tweaks left to do. Metal disc prototype with black powder coating.

[✏ Tammy @Cowkitty]

The Metal prototype disc design is 95% complete as of this latest iteration. :D
