March 4th mileston!!!!

Right now its coming to crunch time. Still working on the ferret but the milestone is basically less than a month away. I'm hoping to have finished the ferret completely and having the parrot at least started. Wish me luck with finishing up the two animals :D and thanks for watching.

Ferret Lip Sync Complete

Here is the full version of the playblast of the ferret lip sync. Next stop is animating her and also giving her facial expressions.



Here's a smooth version of the ferret doing the same lip sync:

More to say

Ferret says a sentence yay!

Ferret Begins to Speak!!

This is a short clip of the ferret saying the first two words of the interview with one of the people. She should be completed saying her full speach soon and then we'll move on to the body animation...Yay!!

Jingle Ball! Ferrets Toy!

Here are some examples of pictures of what the ball will look like in the ferrets cage:

The Ferrets ball is going to be split color, kinda like the one below. I'm thinking though instead of pink to do red.

For the holes of the jingle ball I really like the detailing of the blue jingle ball in the picture below. The holes are shaped as paw prints and that is what the jingle ball for the ferret will also have to give it more of a pet play toy and character to it :)

Ready for SHOW TIME!!!

The ferret is now completely rigged and ready to be animated she was placed in her environment. She will be animated shortly and some play blasts will be added to this blog. Also a picture will be added of her posing (me messing around with her new skeleton and abilities :D yay) To show how she bends.

I hope you enjoy the progress of the ferret!!!

Rigging completed :D!!!

IN the above picture the ferret is rigged and skin weights are fixed tha tit bends correctly. So the rigging is completed and a fast success thanks to "The Setup Machine"Woot!
Now the ferret will be getting eye color for her eyes and then imported into her scene where she'll be animated to the right sound file.

Ferret getting RIGGED!!!

Here is a pic. of the ferret with its first rig :) has you can see the skin weights need some tweaking so that the ferret does not bend in the wrong places :D Should be done with in a few days and the animation for the ferret then will commence :D

Ferret face NOW movable !!!

The ferret now officially has all the facial movement that she'll need for the scene. Yay!!
