Day 6

So I figured I should try a new rig, and thought that this "pose a day" would be the perfect oppurtunity to get used to it before starting a new shot. There's a number of reasons why I thought I should use a new rig. Firstly I think it's just great experience for if I ever get a job in a studio. Secondly, my idea for my new shot is some intense body mechanics, and (as much as I love Bishop) I think the physicality of this new guy is much better suited. Thirdly...the rig looks freakin AWESOME!!!

Morpheus has kindly been made available by Josh Burton. There's some great videos he's made to help get started, which I need to watch as this pose was pretty tough going. There's a whole load of new controls to get used to. Anyhoo...here's todays work


You know...every time I look at these poses posted up here it becomes so apparant that I could still push them so much more. Something to work on :)

So here's day 2's pose. I think this will succeed where my sketching project failed mainly due to my enjoyment of using Maya. This is a great exercise to try and capture the pose with the limitations of whatever rig you are using. So with Bishop the head size usually causes me problems. I had to also cheat the screen left leg so that the knee rests on the floor. But I'm pretty happy with the results.
