Say Hello to my little Friend!

After some previous model attempts, I had a big rethink on how I wanted my central character to look. Above is a short test video of the new character. This is my first attempt at rigging and applying a Physique modifier. This simple test animation has allowed me to identify some problems with the model. For example, the arms are too long.

It is worth mentioning that it I decided not add bones to the character but instead used a biped. The main reason for this was it proved to be a faster process it also allows more features. Adding motion capture footage to a model is one example.

Also this week I have been making some additional models. Below are a simple modelled sun. This also helps illustrate the cartoon style to produce.
