Mid-February update:
Message from the director:
"A big thankyou to everyone who supported the RTX 5070 crowdfunding campaign, it was fully funded without me even making a video to promote it! I can't say how much that means to me.
But now comes the big ask. It's time to replace the motion capture suit used for Heir to the Empire that after 9 years and countless hours of use for HTTE and other projects, is really showing it's age and it's not likely to survive to the end of Dark Force Rising.
The new suit is a Perception Neuron 3, which is the latest version of the one I have been using, the videos look impressive with smoother data and no wires to worry about breaking. This should result in speeding up the process of taking that motion capture data and getting it into the animation software.
For those who would like to support this campaign, the Ko-Fi page is here:

Thankyou to all who have supported this Thrawn trilogy adaptation so far and those who continue to do so now that we move into the second book."
P.s. 16% of the 5000 dollar Ko-Fi motion capture suit goal has been funded in about a week!
