Game Project: Leviathan Demo (2017)
Latest Project: Roman Solider
I decided to go with a Roman Solider as my first major demo reel project. While I was familiar with bipedal rigging/skinning during my time at school, I was not to familiar with a few things that I set out to learn during the course of this project. Also of note, I replaced the original rig that came with the model and added my own for the sake of challenging myself, and more importantly to not cheat.
1. How to take a character that I did not originally model and then rig it to function properly and would be suitable for in game use.
2. How to Construct a rig with both IK and FK Controllers, and allow for ease of access use for the animators to switch between them, if needed.
3. How to deform and weight paint non-organic material on an organic model i.e. Armour on the Solider.
If you have any questions regarding the rig, skinning, or sources for said materials, feel free to email anytime. Links are located at the top of the page.
