It is a character from my thesis that is still in production. The rig itself is pretty much done, just some cosmetic stuff yet to do. <br />click on the image to go to the page.<br /><a href="http://www.srstockholm.com/htmls/htmlrigging/rigging.html" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://www.srstockholm.com/blogStuff/gaia_blog.jpg" width="350" height="693" border="0" alt="gaia image" /><br /></a><br />A big thanks to <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/cheri-fojtik/4/583/742/" target="_blank">Cheri Fojtik</a> for helping me set up the lighting rig that makes this simple default lambert look so good!Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04454926808767824195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464387325231219043.post-78925853927933328402010-09-19T20:24:00.003-04:002010-09-19T20:33:05.230-04:00Subtle Acting Animation Done<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="420" HEIGHT="296" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"><br /><PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="http://www.srstockholm.com/video/animationvids/charanims/subtleAnim.mp4"><br /><PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="false"><br /><PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true"><br /><EMBED SRC="http://www.srstockholm.com/video/animationvids/charanims/subtleAnim.mp4" WIDTH="420" HEIGHT="296" AUTOPLAY="false" CONTROLLER="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"><br /></EMBED><br /></OBJECT><br />Here is a finished version of the Subtle Acting piece that I will use for my demo reel.
