Post #6 Idea and revised project

Hello all,

My idea that I wanted to explore for this next project will look similar to the minions of despicable me. The adjustments I wish to make to them is extend their legs, add another finger, and remove replace their clothing and color with something more align with my own style.

Post #5: Final Project 1 Video

Hello there!
       Here is the finished version of my walk cycle. There was a few problems I ran into when transferring the rendered images to After Effects. But in all I think he came out OK. In addition, I notice his feet are not technically touching the ground. The reason behind this is I did not place any foot roll constraints on his feet. So therefore I had to improvise a little bit.

Post #4 idea and Model

Hello all,

When brainstorming for an idea for my next character, I kept falling back on the idea of making the model more complex. Although my current model for project 1 is simple; I believe it conveys the half organic and half mechanical effectively. The next model I wanted to build will defiantly have more in-depth feet and facial controls, while the body may be more simplistic. The character model that comes in mind that will help me create this new model is the despicable me minions. While their bodies are very simple the life of the character really comes from their facial expression.

P.S. here is a render of my finished model with texture. Although he is very basic he is starting to grow on me.
