My Little Steps

Hello everyone! Here is a compilation of all my rigging assignments. There are a few new ones at the end. Hope you like them...! Thanks for watching! Bye...! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello everyone, Here is the final compilation of all the dynamics assignments. It consists of many segments, like Dynamics Rigid-body, Soft-body, Fluids, nDynamics particles, instancing etc. Hope you enjoy the simulations! Thanks for watching! Bye!! ~~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello everyone! Another animation assignment today. We were told to animate a static walk cycle, with a little acting. I chose the skip walk. A happy walk with a bit of a hop. Here are the videos that show the progress of the animation: Planning: Blocking: Linear: Final: Thank you for visiting! Bye! ~~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello everyone! I'm back with another assignment. We were to animate a fight scene between two characters. We had to apply the principles of weight, drag and follow through to get a good result. Here is the final output of the animation: I took references from Avatar: The last Air-bender, Jackie Chan the animated series, and a few fight poses online. Thanks for visiting! Bye!! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello everybody! Here is another rigging assignment. We were given the model of Bruce the shark. This is a new type of rig. The previous ones were robotic, hence there was no need for skinning. But this is a living being and is made of one single polygon. Hence we had to skin it. Here is the final video: Thank you for visiting! See you soon. Bye!! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello everyone! I'm back again with another Prop rig. This time, we were given a tree model and told to rig it in such a way that it is able to twist and flare together, the leaves react to the environment etc, Here is the set up: We used nhair to make the leaves move according to gravity. Here is the final output: Thanks for visiting! Bye...! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello guys! Here is another assignment for the subject Rigging techniques. We had to rig the car wheels in such a way that it would automatically rotate as we move the car forward or backward. We also had to make the car vibrate when in idle state and the engine is still switched on. So we added two different formulas in the expression editor for it. This is for wheel auto rotate: This is for the engine idle state: Here are the controls: Here is the final result: Thank you for visiting! Bye...!! ~~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello Everyone! This is a Character Rigging assignment. We rigged a robot called Tony by using reverse foot log method.  Here is the final rig: Here is the rig set-up: That's all for now! Thanks for visiting! Bye...!! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello! This is another Rigging techniques assignment. We were given a book model and told to rig it so that the book could be folded and the pages could be flipped. Here is the final rig: Here is what it looks like: Here is the expression used for the page fanning effect: Thank you for visiting! Bye...! ~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello! This is a rigging assignment. We were given the model of a juice box for which we had to create a rig. Here is the video: We used driven key to control the squash and stretch, bend and twist of the box when the control curse is moved. We constrained the straw using a locator and point to poly contain. And lastly, we created a translate control to which sip value was given. All these were parented to the world control. That's all Thanks for visiting!! Bye...!! ~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello! Here is another rigging assignment. This time, we modelled a bow and arrow and rigged it in such a way that the arrow could move with the bow, or with the string, or by itself. We also used skinning to give a better effect. Here is the final animation: The String control is the child of the bow control. The arrow control is a child of both bow and string control. Hence, space switching is applied here: Thank you for visiting. Bye!! ~~~~~~~~~Chinmayee. S

Hello everyone! In this assignment, we were given the model of a simple squirrel which was rigged. We were told to make a small animation with it. First step: Planning the shot. Second step: Blocking in Maya Third step: Polished animation This step involves editing the graph of the animation. Only the Body's graph is edited in this video. That's it for now!
