Frigging in the Rigging
Playing around with one of the characters to test their rig. In the first scene we meet Awaryn he will be leaning up against a wall or perhaps another character and I created a short screen capture movie while I was playing around with the rig and posing the character to make sure that I have it set up to allow me the poses and the animation that I will need. This is a 'low resolution puppet', something that is able to movie quickly as you animate to get the major moves blocked out. That is why you can see breaks in the character's skin or odd shapes when things animate. During this I realized that I needed to add some control on the clavicle bone so that the shoulders don't always look raised, I don't know if you can see it in this movie or not. In the end I was pretty happy with the pose and easy it was to get their so I will call the rig a success. More rigging to be done, I also need to model out the sets for each of the 5 or 6 scenes in the pilot . I also need to start looking for voice talent. Before I can animate I need to lip sync the characters and to do that I need voice actors. Two women ,four men. Anyone interested?
