Just a quick update to let you know that the rigging of all of the characters is almost done...a little later than expected but nevertheless I'm almost ready to animate!!
I had some trouble rigging the eyes as its quite difficult to find tutorials that show that specifically, however due to what I learnt about constraints recently I was able to set up some bones and constraints with nurbs curves that allow me to control the eyes.
I'll post some more pictures of the characters in the set with their rigs and pose them together, this will let you get a better feel of how the characters will look in the film.
We have had some issues with one of the female characters that wears a poncho, it would be very difficult to rig her whole clothing to deform in a natural way, and due to time constraints now I think I am going to remodel her with an easier to rig body.
On a different note, I have just spent the morning drafting my CV and I am sending it off to get checked later on today. It's almost finished and so far I'm quite happy with it. I have all the details of what I have learnt and the projects I have managed and partnered with to show my ability to work as part of a team. I included the Preston City Council project as work experience as it was a live brief and included my interests and skills that I have gained from the course, amongst other things like a personal statement and past and predicted grades. I am sending it out to someone from Bulb Studios in Leicester and I hope to apply for 2 more jobs that I have seen near Leicester and in Derby. My sister lives in Leicester so apparently I can stay with her for a short while if I manage to get a job near there.
Heres to the future!
