Over the last week I've been working on getting the characters for the first 2 shorts modelled and rigged. It all went surprisingly smoothly once I remembered how use Maya, especially since I only had to rig the postman then used a modified version of the same rig on the builders : )
The pic at the top is how I want the eyes and mouth to work on the characters. I've got it all worked out in my head but implementing it is a totally different thing... I'm confident it'll work though and, as well as looking cool, it'll be a massive time saver.
Anyway the characters are all below. The postman is definitely my favourite of the 3, probably because I let myself spend a little more time on him. Textures are going to be flat colours just to seperate elements like jeans from belts from t-shirts etc. I'll do those a little later into animation.

Builder 2
PostmanWith those done I finally get to start animation! So I've knocked up a shot list for the shorts. Making a shot list like this helps soooo much in the long run. Ticking the boxes as you go along is always satisfying too!
Right I've got a few more things to do before I can start animating but once I've got some scenes blocked out I'll be sure to upload them onto here.
Cheers
