Animation Time! - Chilli 3D Rig


Today's Inspiration:
drawing skill and speed is of the greatest importance, as well as a sense of story telling and continuity. Above that would be a faith in yourself, or a very strong stubborn streak.

Animation Time! - Toon Boy Rig


Today's Inspiration:
Drawing is the art of observation and communication... the most important consideration in making pictures... if you're able to draw you can devote yourself to saying what you think and feel.

Teddy 1.0 - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Teddy 1.0 Rig.
Teddy anticipates the kick then hops up and kicks out. When he kicks out his arms pull in and flap out as the foot beings to drop. The hips then shoot down and recoil back up with reverberations extending throughout the body.
