From Yeti to Bushman

for now, the group has tentatively decided that we want to make are yeti character into a Bushman. We think we have the skills to pull of something that is unique as far as character development that been attempted at the DAC, a few of us are worried that the idea might be too ambitious, but for now we are going to let the character FX team R&D on the foliage and see what kind of results we can get, if it's looking good we will go forward with the plan. In the meantime, Violet, our resident FX and Houdini specialist will continue to refine the pipeline for hair and fur just in case the leaves don't pan out.
