5 Week Milestone




My 5 week milestone for my Major animation was to finish off the rigs for both of my characters. I have pretty much achieved what I had set out for my 5 week milestone except for the facial expressions. I am currently working on a solution for my face expressions, I wanted to use joints to achieve the minor movements of the face and use blend shapes for the primary expression such as smile blink etc. Hopefully with a bit of luck I will be animating by the end of next week. during the 5 Weeks been having a few dramas with the rig and the JTD rigging script, nothing dramatic thou, but I honestly believe painting weights is far more painful then rigging. the reason I'm saying this is because i kept using the replace tool. A tool every teacher has told me to stay away from unless your flooding 100% with it, I guess I like learning the hard way.
I have uploaded 1 screen shot each for my characters showing the rigs and a stylized toon shaded render. I have to discuss with Jack if i decide to chose this style how would I go about rendering my back grounds and environments.
