Welcome to the Project

Remember when all Morpheus wore was that gray leotard? Let's get him into something a little more comfortable.

Welcome to The Project

Here are the basic goals of the project.:

1. On the Ex'pression College website, create a persistant downloadable library of costumes for use with Josh Burtons "Morphy" rig. Additional costumes will be created, expanding the wardrobe on a regular basis.

2. The costumes will be modeled and textured by students of Ex'pression College, giving them a venue to showcase their talents and receive credit for the use of their work. Incusion in the wardrobe will require that the costume is built and textured to a high and consistant visual style and technical standard.

3. Everything will be free for use for any non-profit venture. Terms of use will require credit to Josh Burton for the rig, Ex'pression College and the student(s) who models/textures the particular outfit(s) used. For-profit use will require written permission.

4. The wardrobe would have tutorial videos and worksheets to guide users through the process of adding a costume to a fresh "Morphy" Rig or to a "Morphy" animation file already in progress.

If you're just joining the project, please familiarize yourself with the following links:
