This included making IK controllers for their arms and legs, along with their respective pole vectors. Additionally, I made controllers for the hip, chest, and neck areas, along with controllers for the eyes. The skinning for the rig proved to be the most difficult part of the rigging process, for my weaker skills in 3D modelling began to punish me for my questionable edge loops. Because of this, I had to adjust the geometry of the character many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the animations, I made walk, run, and idle cycles. This part was very neat, for it was the first time I was able to see a character that I modeled, rigged, and animated fully alive. Exciting stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"498\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b20\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/rig1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b20\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/rig1.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b20\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/rig1-358x300.jpg 358w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><figcaption>Front view of my rig<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b20\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/rig2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1242\" width=\"407\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b20\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/rig2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b20\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/rig2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b20\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/11\/rig2-298x300.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><figcaption>Side view of my rig<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dylan Valev IMGD 3500 Character Animations\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VtHYC4vmN9Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Character animations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the character animations, I rigged the entire character from scratch.
