  4. Long necked characters: IK on neck?

    So, got a bird with a long neck, now rigging neck w/IK. Had one abortive attempt at getting it started, then got waylaid off into dealing with Pivot Rotation Recording and that briar patch (uhhhggg LY!). Starting over. My current, before starting, idea is to simply have a Goal that is...

  5. Walk cycle

    Anyone ever do this? I mapped a Preston Blair walk-cycle (everybody should have this book) onto a poly, then put it behind my character. Then I keyframed every frame to line up with the character and the step in the cycle, using STEPPED keyframe interpolation. Then I'll scale the keys to match...

  7. 2-d mouth on 3d character?

    I'm contemplating 2d cartoon mouths on a (nominally) 3D character, and wondering how to pull it off. The design of the character would, IMO, be compromised by modeling a 'real' 3D mouth, so I'm thinking of just emulating the 2d mouth as a sort of animated decal that sits on the spherical head...

  8. Cartoon stork- wings & feathers?

    I'm 'working' on an animation of the classic Aesop's fable about the stork and the fox. This will be done in a broad, cartoony way, not realistic. I'm worried about the stork's wings. Should I just give the impression of feathers, or is there a way to incorporate features (maybe as 'hairs')...

  10. Secondary animation: flexible extremity lag

    Looking ahead to when my rabbit is fully ::cough:: boned, I'm thinking about the secondary animation of the ears. Is the customary way to achieve this by using null targets on a bone chaine, with the nulls parented, say, to the headbone, along with something ....uhhhh.....like the motion...

  11. Eyebrows

    What's the best method for eyebrows on a cartoon-like character? Should they be modelled on a separate layer? Added as part of the brow? Or applied as a texture? Eyebrows in a cartoon are normally very expressive, more exaggerated than in a realistic character, so I'm wondering what people...

  17. Polygons and curved edges

    So I made this model, and it is pretty good for my first try, I think. But as you can see, when I place his arms in a certain pose, what ought to be a nice curve to the shoulder is all angled because of the placement of the points in the subdivision. What's the best way to deal with issues like...
