Character Rigging 1

Another great class by another great instructor.  We were assigned three major projects in this class; a proxy rig, a layout rig, and then wrap it up at the end into a python script.  Each project was broken into individual pieces, and before I knew it, I had something to be proud of.  Below is a link to a video of the layout rig assignment, and a few screenshots of some rigs I posed.  The rabbit character in the demo below was provided by Full Sail, I am only responsible for the rig.

Rigid bind rig demo:

We downloaded various rigged characters from online 3D sites and were tasked with having to pose and critique their rigs.  I’m looking forward to animating Bonnie and Mery.
