The Major Project: The Beast Hair and Horn Rivets
The Beast Hair and Horn Rivets
The rivets are used on a duplicate mesh so when I animate the Beast his hair follows his body. His neck horns are also now using rivets as they were not follow the head properly.

Major Project: The Beast's WIP Upper Blendshapes
The Beast's WIP Upper Body Blend Shapes
Progress so far on the Beast's blend shapes. The arm forward blend shape I think should be pushed further forward, despite the huge deformation to start with. His "huge" biceps literally pass through his side.

Major Project: Silver's Body Rig Completed
Silver's Body Rig: Complete
Silver's jacket is connected to a another jacket above her that is connected through a blend shape, which allows me to control/move parts of her jacket.

YPGTTO: Challenge #6 Violin
YPGTTO: Challenge #6 Violin
After a day of Maya I decided to relax and take part in the speed paint challenges. The Violin district I chose due to the vibrancy of the wood used to make them and the pace that they bring, but also makes me think of objects intertwining and moving like a dance.
Major Project: Legends of Grimm Script Final and Voice Actor

songs in honour of your bravery? Maybe the poets will lionize your folly? Or
maybe no one will know what happened here because your bodies will be ash…
(growling groans)
Camera shot of Silver
turning her head as she looks at the Bear Prince. The Bear Prince becomes in

Major Project: Silver Skinning 02
Silver: Skinning 02
Her body is still a little broken especially with her jacket, however after consulting with Alan tomorrow should remove my problems.
Friday, 11 March 2016
Major Project: Silver Skinning 01
Silver: Body Skinning 01
Corrective blend shapes are needed around the lower back and bum and in the shoulders, but her body is skinned.

Major Project: The Bear Prince Skinning
The Bear Prince: Skinning
Skinning the Bear was much quicker than the Beast, as once I knew what to do with the 'harder' guy it seemed easier the second time around.
Just minor teaks left then he is ready for rigging and blend shapes. Just Silver left to skin and they will be ready to progress all together.
This input was also used on the Beast to help create squash and stretch as well as a fall off on each joint that creates natural arches in the spine. As the images above show.

Major Project: Beast Skinning
The Beast: Skinning
He is pretty much complete in terms of skinning, just minor adjustments before I move onto Rigging and Blend Shapes.
