Advanced Character Animation

This blog is in place to document my progress and research for the 'Advanced Character Animation' module at Thames Valley University. My idea is to create a short 30 second animation in the style of 'Creature Comforts', an 'Aardman Animation' classic.

Rigging Finished

Rigging is now finished.. took longer than I had originally anticipated. We are all stations go now. The rig has a few nifty features including; clusters for secondary motion, joint chains on the arms and legs and a simple U.I. to speed up animating. All in all its a robust rig that should prove useful when it comes to animating... I'm going away over the christmas so will have to leave animating until I get back in the new year. Although I would have liked to devote more time to the animation I think 5 days solid will be enough to cover evrything to the standard I would like. Time will tell...
