34 Bucks to Blow

Re: 34 Bucks to Blow
Here's a test of what I've rigged so far. Half of the head rotation is rigged and the eyes are rigged. Planning to do the mouth next. This is turning out to be very educational...! And of course the hair is really tricky.

Re: 34 Bucks to Blow
Oh! I know you said you'd only do one, I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask if you'd like to work on the series with me ?
I would love to give you the models and you create the puppets, from there I'd do the rest! But if there's something too complicated then I understand. Like you said you aren't perfect.

Re: 34 Bucks to Blow
I would love to work on your series because it looks like it's going to be amazing, but I don't have much free time and I'm trying to create my own series. :D So I won't have enough time to rig all the characters. But I'm trying to figure out the best rigging methods (incorporating what is useful of the newer AS features) on the first character. After that one is complete, the others should be easier to rig by just following that first example. Or maybe even making a copy of the first character and adjusting it to look like the other characters. But you'll definitely want to keep building on these rigs while you animate, adding mouth shapes that match the character's most common attitudes and hand shapes for different situations, for example.
It's kind of going slow at the moment because I'm researching and testing to come up with the best arms and legs.

Re: 34 Bucks to Blow
I understand what it is to need help.
I'm okay at rigging and would like to help if I can. Do you have another character?
As far as the building devouring the car, I recommend the mouth on the building be on the side rather than the front. Will that work from an art direction point of view? I can help with that if you like. Send me the AS file. I am working with 10.1.

Her name is Pe'pe. She's way taller than Rose and is also a main character. She has many outfit changes so I guess her clothes should be easily manipulated.

Re: 34 Bucks to Blow
Quick question! I assumed that you wanted Rose's arms and legs to be rubber hose style (ultra-flexy, elbows/knees bend gradually instead of sharply). But I figured I should double check with you. :D The elbow in this picture is rubber hose style and the knee is regular (mandcon rig). I am planning to use rubber hose for all unless you prefer the regular.

Re: 34 Bucks to Blow

I noticed in the file that TheMinahBird sent me (from another thread) she checks "Outline on", width of 4, in the top bone layer setting. What this does is keeps the nose from disappearing in the side views by putting an outline around it. You have to render to see it; it won't show in the workspace. Of course, you don't need to do this, but I thought it was a clever trick.
Re: 34 Bucks to Blow
Thanks, neeters_guy! And thanks for the heads up about the outline. I agree that is a clever idea. :D

@ steveryan2, Hi! I sent the picture on the forum of the female character you can just build her if you'd like instead of the buildings.

Re: 34 Bucks to Blow
Thanks MinahBird. I start working on the head; that hair is going to be a serious challenge! I am very impressed with Iwaxana's head turn for the other character.TheMinahBird wrote:@ steveryan2, Hi!
