Pylon on the pounds




No, I don't know what that title means.

Yes, I'm building pylons. It is good. Here are some pictures.

Joseph fully rigged




It's taken a good couple of days, but finally I have a complete rig that appears to be working correctly. Seems too good to be true. It's been a slog, despite the fact I've been following a tutorial.

Use the link above to see my animation test. It has been greatly compressed but you can just about make it out.

2 out of 3 ain't bad





Yes. Two characters built and textured, with a third hot on their heels. The dissertation beast is the only thing getting in the way now. I scaled Joseph's heads down some and increased Fred's a bit to better match them.

Simple facial expressions for Fred

Fred's rig in action!

A simply constructed background treated in photoshop. It's nowhere near right yet, but I'm just trying out some stuff.

Rigging - a student's tale



Hi. I've been learning to rig. It is certainly a huge pain in the bottom and confuses me greatly; that's easily done though. However, with much perseverance and a great deal of swearing I am getting there. Wherever there is. I am still having some problems but I am confident I will solve them in the coming week or so. In the meantime, Dissertation!
