this is what i have for my scene so far

the rig is really difficult, there isnt many working controls, and some of the facial expressions are a difficult to use, so anyway, i think my scene get passed to jessica for "inpection" or"cleanup" or whatever we call it.. and stephanie, Im supposed to do cleanup on your scene correct?

Animation review due this week. It should almost be done. Finish the minor touch ups and secondary animation this week. Animation needs to be done, finalized, completed by Thursday week 7 if want to complete this on time.

When can you meet up?

Midterms have just passed by and we have a lot of work to do. Respond to this with a date and time you can work on animation.

blend shape problems...

Has anyone else been running into this problem? The original head, after I create blend shapes moves away from the body.

¡No bueno!

Some inspiration

checklist:

Ooh...how I remember this error from rigging class...

The Real Leg does a spin before it gets to the other IK/FK Leg. I think it has something to do with the constraints so i deleted the constraints and re-did them but still no go. Any ideas? I'm emailing Bac right now...

Matte Painting

Hey guys and gals,

I don't remember if we decided on a matte painter for the project. I have an example and would be interested in the position.

quick question!

Who's rigging the soldier?

Was there a set design for the wings and if so, can it please be posted up?

Thanks!

Also, I'm working on a red version of the soldier and I just need to tweak it a bit more. Will post pics soon.
