Lunch Break Animation

Mark Dygert · Jan 2008

So Seforin has been on me to rig this guy up and do some simple animation. So I pulled down the file this morning and on my lunch break I cranked this out.

Think of it as a speed paint or sculpt but with animation. From first opening the file till final preview, it took me about 3hrs. About 2hrs was spent weighting verts and coming up with a good wing rig that was simple to animate.

I'm sure I can clean it up and make it look all nice and pretty but that would run over the allotted 3hrs.

Sounds like a nice job if you get a 3 hour lunch break.

Are there two different wing opening animations? I like the first one better where it really seems to whip out. The second one looks more mechanical. Pretty awesome for a few hours!

heh yeah normally I'm lucky if I have time to take a lunch. But it snowed today and the person I who was going to wrap up their end of a project so I could start my part, never showed. So technically all of today was a long lunch break followed by leaving early and possibly not having to show up tomorrow.

Now that I look over it, I'm not as in love with it as I was...
