Perhaps we can use this Tonga Fox rig for Squeak.

I think using this pre-made rig can save us a lot of time modeling and rigging and give us more time for animating. In general I like the rig after looking at it and I think that it fits that cartoon like style for the critter we want. We can shift his facial expressions a bit more and make him more menacing looking. We could also probably modify some things on our own to make him more like the evil Squeak we want.
I agree that using something already made and rigged would be a time-saver, but I'm not sure this is the one. I like the head/face, although it's a little on the cute side, but it's very much a biped. I think it'll look weird doing some of the things we've got planned out, but maybe it would work. I dunno, will have to think on it some and look at it in Maya.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for this. I think that we could get some sinister facial expressions from it too. The main color will have to change tho haha...
