Hey folks just wanted to give another brief update to the progress of the project. I’m about 90% done with the rig. I just need to add some Ik Fk controls before its really ready to release. Here is the rig with Ik animation controls, not to much to say about that other than it works.

I went back over some of my reference and added a little more geometry to the model and changed the texture a little bit to accommodate it. All minor in hind sight. After going over my Digital Tutors training kits again I’ve gotten most of the rigging done.

I managed to get a good render out of the mix however I’m now having some problems with the toon shader, but that’s all secondary stuff I can fix or tweak later. Those problems are on my end I’m sure; simply by the symptoms of the glitches.

Anyway, here is a render of the model so far. Fear not all you looking forward to this model it should be done in about a week!

Till then!
