Over easter I began work on my animation, I have made my character that I want to animate and have rigged his body. The next stage is to build a simple room for him and to rig his face, basically the story is going to be him getting trapped in a room with a smaller alien who causes trouble!



Above is a picture of my alien that I have made, here I am testing out the upper body rig. It was pretty sucessful and I have moved him in many positions, I need to tweak the hands slightly as they are not moving as I would like.



The next render is of me testing the lower part of the rig, I am not happy with the way the belt line as come out and will need to weight paint this area once again to get it right. Other than a small tweak to the feet I think the overall body rig is working as I intended it to. I want to start work on this right away but have my other modules to do, hopefully I can get them out of the way this week and begin the animation process!
