Major - Katherine - Face Blendshapes #2 - Finished Brow and Mouth Shapes and starting Control Rig


Mouth Shapes

Brow Shapes

Control Rig Start

The Control Rig is going to work as simply as possible. The top Brow shapes will control up and down and have smaller circles inside to control the Angry, Sad and Surprise Shapes. The bottom Rectangles will control the mouth shapes as sliders with the last one controlling Left and Right smile shapes. And the shapes in the middle are the already existing Blink Rig.

Major - Katherine - Face Blendshapes #1 - Making Progress

Thanks to Alans hugely appreciated help I've finally begun my face blendshapes for Katherine!


I've done a few shapes I think are essential for now, with more to come as I need them.
For now, this (along with the jaw control) should give me a good range of motion with her mouth.

Major - Alekos - Body Rig Progress #1 - Legs, Feet and Spine


I ran into trouble with the feet and Alan kindly walked me through the steps needed to rig feet like that. There's minimal control with them as a result., which is what I wanted anyway. They only move a little bit while he walks or kneels. Everything else I managed to do from memory from what I've learned and I'm pretty happy that I'm committing it all to memory.

After some initial struggles, I've finished the PSD for Alekos. I'm pretty happy with how they've come out and am confident in moving forward to the rigging stage.

Major - Look Dev #4 - Alekos Toons Progress





Major - Alekos - Binding and Blending


Binding and Blending for Alekos before Pose Space Deformers. The neck can use a little more work and so can the fingers (specifically the pinky), But I'm pretty happy with how he looks.
