A long overdue update

I haven't really been updating my blog much as busy has been an understatement for what I am but here is a quick update. Using the video tutorials kindly produced by Phil I managed to get the whole person rigged, animated and skinned in under a day. So thank you Phil your videos really did save me :) The whole process was fairly uneventful and the whole rig went smoothly and everything worked. I couldn't ask for more, so here is the rig :) Thanks again Phil

Fcaial animation pictures

I was advised to use blend shapes for the facial animations which turned out to be fantastic. I love blend shapes, they are so easy to use and rig up and they really are quick to do. It is a shame they are so heavy on memory as I'm sure they would be used for everything.
