Dog Rig Speed Demo


This is the full dog rig. My new demo just shows hi-lights of the rig but this shows all of the controls including IK/FK switching and blend shapes. Once again, I'll point out that the initial model was done by Trevor Ko, I just added a mouth to it before I rigged it.

New Reel for October 2010


Like I said, the modeling of the dog in the 'dog rig' wasn't entirely done by me; it was started by a co-worker/friend of mine (Trevor Ko) and tweaked to have a mouth and eyes by me before I rigged it. Going into this kind of rigging was pretty fun, and I plan on doing some more full character rigs and hopefully teaching myself some new stuff too

NOTE: cause the video here gets cut at the side from bloggers superb layout, check my demo blog to see a better sized video or just go to youtube directly

Rigging

Recently, I was working for IMAX on the upcoming Harry Potter movie. We were up-converting it from 2D to 3D until we ran out of time. But enough of that, heres a fancy rig I did while I had some free time there!!

And of course I'll chuck this into my reel.
More to come

NOTE: I did NOT do the modeling for this. A co-worker friend of mine, Trevor Ko did the modeling and I took over from there.
