It was built in Maya 2009, and textured with Zbrush and Photoshop. It has a full facial rig, IK/FK switching for the wings and full toe control for each foot.
The rig can be scaled and flipped over without changing its behavior. I also created a group of shelf buttons for selection purposes, as well as one for resetting the rig to the bind pose, and another for selecting all of the controllers.
If anybody would like to play with it, you can download it HERE. Just credit Leslie Paramore. (**If it won't work for you click on the open in a new window link on the page that shows up.)
Here's a short video demostrating the rig. It also contains a wireframe turnaround and the stillframes above.
AWESOME Leslie! Love the design, proportions and the lines you captured.
ReplyDeleteAny chance you would let me animate this thing? Put the rig through some animation to see how the it holds up? I'd love to animate it and give you a shot of the rig in motion.

Sure, I haven't had much luck making google docs work, but hopefully I've got it working now. Here's the link https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1KsAscw5tJUYjY1NmU1NDEtYjQ1Ni00Y2RjLTkzOWUtOWRkN2YxYzVhOWZl
ReplyDeleteMaybe that will work better. If anybody has problems and would like it, or questions, feel free to email me. I obviouslly don't check this blog as often as I should.
OMG this is exactly what I need for my demo reel! I hope you don't mind if I use it? I'm an animator. I'll credit you for the model and rig of course. You modeled as well as rigged it right?
ReplyDeletePlease do, I'd love to have any feedback you might have on it (bugs, preferences, general impressions, etc.). That goes for anybody else who might want to play with it, btw.
ReplyDeleteYes I concepted, modeled, rigged, and textured it.
If you get anything good out of it, I'd love to link to it here.
