If you can do a Haddock and a Milou it would be great...
ElChristou, you sure are a very prolific modeler! I should have known that you had it almost completely covered... As I said Haddock shouldn't be too much of a problem. I was going to do that anyway for the scene where Tintin tries to reel Haddock back in after he decided to go spacewalking in a drunken stupor while they're on their way to the moon.
Wolff the engineer is also visible in a scene in the rocket's loading bay. Give me a bit of time and I might try him as well. I think you should definitely give the high-res space shuttle project top priority!
You also asked about the software. I've used Anim8tor (because it's free). Organic shapes are somewhat problematic with this package, as well its limited ability to select only a few edges or surfaces. Milou might be a little bit more of a challenge, therefore. I'm just thinking of his furry coat which is clearly visible in the drawings.
You use Amapi, don't you. A bit pricy for a beginner like me, but I like its capabilities.

That would be great. As I said I'm very much a beginner, although I've admired Celestia for a long time. What I'm trying to achieve is a scene from "Explorers on the Moon", where Tintin stands on the side of the rocket (on its way to the moon), getting ready to throw a lasso to Haddock who is floating away from the rocket. (BTW, have you read the book?)
Second issue, just to show how much of a beginner I am
, how do I provide you with the .obj file?
Julesstoop:
In this particular story they have ingested some substance which triggered (amongst other effects) an abnormal - and very multi-coloured - hair growth.
To be factual, I believe Jansen and Jansens drank this substance in a previous book "Land of Black Gold". The next book is "Destination Moon", and in "Explorers on the Moon" they seem to have a recurrence of this most mysterious disease, which leads to ridiculously fast hair growth and rapidly changing hair colour. Obviously in the scene depicted by ElChristou, they just had a trim...

I've just had a look at the official Tintin website and found out that Thompson and Thomson weren't twins.
They looked almost identical, except for their mustaches.
Thompson and Thomson (Jansen and Jansens) are indeed not identical twins. My son actually picked up that Jansens has a slight curl in his moustache whereas Jansen does not. ElChristou, did you pick that up in your models?
