Longfaced Pirate
 

A university project whereby I have to model, texture, rig, skin and animate a low poly model interpreted by a children's character, I went for one of the pirates featured in the "Skeleton pirate book" by David Lucas.

Showing the rig I set up, used blendshapes and bones to control areas of the face for expressions, then created controls to pose them with set driven keys.

nice work :)

That looks pretty cool. Interested in seeing it in motion.

Thanks :)

Thank you, for the project we have to do an idle and walk animation and then towards the end of the unit we use our character to do a short film with so that will be interesting.
