Rigging The Dekilios Monster Screenshots

 


I used to the auto rig feature for the monster. I had a few problems with moving his legs however after playing around with it for a while I managed to fix them. His legs were not bending at the knee. At first I thought that this was a skinning issue but it wasn't. It turned out to be a problem with the controls. I decided to use a different set of controls in his lower leg rather than his upper leg. 

I then decided to test out the rig by putting him in different positions.



Movement: 

I have taken some time to think about how the monster would move. The Dekilios Monster is big with a large amounts of fat and so isn't very fast. He stomps and lumbers and sways side to side, shifting his weight as he walks. He keeps his head down when walking as he often uses his trunk to blow things out of his way. When he does run, he can only do so for a short amount of time .

Reflective Statement

  Reflective Statement  The Major project has been my favourite out of the three stages. I feel like I had much better time management. I didn’t feel rushed at any point, and I think that is because I had everything planned out and I knew what I had to get done by a certain point. I set myself personal deadlines on the way and made sure I stuck by them so I could complete everything I needed to complete in time. It was really satisfying seeing all the work I completed over the three stages come together as one big project.    I have learnt a lot of new skills during the Major project. Skills that I will take further. I am now much more confident in Maya and animating as a whole.     I am happy with the outcome of the project. I am pleased with my animation, and it has turned out better than I thought it would.   I am looking forward to taking things further with animation.
