Overall progress

Some renders of WIP Hyenas. I have already slowed down the new roar more so that it doesn't snap at the end, it just has not been rendered yet. I have finished up the polishing of my old Hyenas as of last weekend. I will be working on the new Hyenas this upcoming week as well as the Rhizzly Rig. Rhizzly Rig is set to be finished by Friday. Hyenas will be finished the following week as well as Rhizzly animations.

Rhizzly Rig WIP

This is my current progress on the Rhizzly Rig, modeled by Steven! Prospective due date is Friday!

He will have IK legs, simple spine. The trunk and the tail will be controlled by set driven keys. The mouth will open and the eyes will blink (hopeful).

Fur test

Test run of fur and hair. All of the hair on the body is raccoon fur that I re-purposed to be fox fur and I gave him a beard. Wise old fox.



Just posting some latest renders of my old/updated animations this time around. The rig and model are by Daniel Moos ( http://danielmoos.blogspot.com/ ) and animated by myself.
