A little rig practice

Our class got a new rig from our 3D Instructor and were told to test it out and find some problems. I did some lipsync with him. Did this one pretty quickly, I'd say 3 hours + render time.

Drill 4: Part 4 (Final)

This is the final installment of this animation. We had to post all the parts because my 3D Instructor wants to see our progress. So here's part 4, 6 hours of work. I hid the control object so you can see what's happening more clearer. Hope you enjoy it.

Update: Now with a new model

Drill 3

Drill 3 was a fun one. We, as a class, demostrated that our animation was at a point where we could take creative control. Sure we still had the 3 hour time frame, but this is what I came up with. Our assignment was to take Stewie and animate him with a jetpack.
