. . . RIGGING

[ I RIGGED THE MAIN CHARACTERS, CHARLIE & TOOBY, OVER CHRISTMAS BREAK ]

I had drawn their full turnarounds during first semester, which made the art for the rigs easy. All I had to do was the linework, separate the rigs into pieces, then add deformers/cutters/drawing substitutions.

After the rigs were done, I did an animation test with each of them to see how well they functioned. I made a few changes to the rigs after that, as well as throughout the animation process as issues arose. There are four versions of the rigs, each improved from the last.

TIME SPENT: Avg. 3 days per character
