Phillipe progress...

Phillipe has a skeleton... it took me a while to get it in and now I am just trying to get my head around skin weights. I haven't had a chance to spend much time on this as I've been working on other things but hopefully I'll have him moving by the end of this month! :)

A few hours later....

So this is what I have completed so far. Its just the model and I'm not really sure what I am doing with the flower on his head or how I am going to animate that. I also have no idea where to start with rigging so I'm going to read now ^-^ Hopefully he'll be moving soon. I also want to make him a bit smoother... he looks a bit point in places o_O eek! Well there is plenty of time, off to the books now!

The Return of Phillipe!

I have decided to bring back Phillipe! My little flower kitty cat from the Encounters Project last year. Everyday his cardboard cutout looks at me from on top of my pinboard... so I decided in my attempt to learn character modelling in Maya I will use Phillipe! :) He has a simple body shape so shouldn't be too difficult to model and then with help from tutorials etc I am hoping to rig him up and get him dancing around like he was meant to do!
Updates of this process will follow. ^-^
