Thanks! For the actual worm, I intend to script some more features, like
eyepath-prediction: a moving object will be followed by eyes and head, but
if it suddenly stops, the worm will look a little ahead along the path its
little brain predicted, then notice its mistake and focus back on the
object. Creating the timing etc will be essential for that, but once that is
set, I think his "looking motion" will be quiet realistic.

That's really neat. It seems like it, but is each eye in fact
independently looking at the object? As in, if the object moves close to
his nose, he will look more cross-eyed, right?

Nice work - the animation looks very promising.
Have you seen http://10secondclub.org/ ? Click 'Latest Winners' to see some really
great character animation. I think
this may have been linked before a while ago in povray.off-topic.
One of the things that I notice most from here is that eyebrows are very expressive -
had you thought of adding these to
the worm (ok, they don't really have eyebrows, but they don't have eyes either...)

Thanks. Yes, you're right, each eye is independantly looking. I could have
him looking at it with parallel-viewing eyes, but you seldomly do that...

Thanks. Yes, I know of 10secondclub. I had thought about using eyebrows for
the worm, and I stuck to the idea of using his eyelids for that: making him
look angry, or weary, and such. But I did want to try how he would look with
actual eyebrows, though I'm unsure how to attach them to the worm. Once I've
experimented with it, I'll post a pic at binaries.images, k?

How about not attaching them to the worm? He is a cartoon like
character, so you can let them "fly around". Maybe it looks odd when
they throw shadows, so no_shadow can be applied.
Just my 2 eurocent.

Yeah, thought about that. Although the character has a pretty cartoon look,
I did want him to be rather realistic in modelling terms. Perhaps I could
stick the brows just onto the head? I'll experiment once I get the time.
Thanks for the comment though.

I'm interested in seeing that. I think hair is one of those

I know, they don't have eyes and hats and smiley mouths
either, but hair seems way out of place on worms. Just
a thought...

I wasn't actually going for hair, but more some blob-like element or such.
Nothing really hairy. Perhaps something close to being a pen-stroke or such.
I wanted to experiment on that this night.

I like the "pen stroke" idea. Might look like little worms
too.
I look foarward to seeing it.
