BSW - CAAyr3 - New Character Rig

 New Character Rig

After finding more and more problems with the rig I was creating and getting more and more frustrated, I have chosen to go down another route for rigging Lobe'ous. There were too many little issues I was having, and with more time to play around, I would definitely be more then happy to iron out the kinks, however, due to the fact I just want to get on with and start the next stages of the animations, I have opted for an autorig. This is a feature in maya that I did not understand before properly sitting down and trying it out. I first created my skeleton that was from my other failed rig, and then plugged in all the bones to the controls in autorig so it recognises the positions. Then I created the control rig using the same feature and then played around with the skinning so when the character is moved, it looks natural and smooth. I managed to save the skinning and blendshapes from before which is a bonus as they took a long time.

When looking at the building for a while and thinking of the prompt I saw a battleship. With the long platform and the bridge-like feature, I figured that is what I will turn it into. I am happy with what I produced here letting myself be creative and lose which I am working very hard on. The main problem that Justin had with this is that it was unrealistic... It is more of a stylized piece rather than an actual thing people would work on and use, which is fine because it was not specified that realism was wanted. We were then tasked with creating an interior of a character given to us. Mine was an Aztec priest so I started researching what that entailed. They used to ...

BSW - CAA - Finches Concept Art - In progress

  Finches Concept Art - In progress I have been continuing the finches piece after the research I carried out and I have finished another finch. I have done this one in a more cartoony style as I am exploring my choices for the animation. It has bold, consistent lines and boxed colours to make it pop and it has a big eye that makes it stand out. As of now, I am swaying towards the cartoon style more as I feel like a video for educational purpose, it will draw more people in...
