johnl3d Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 trying out legs and wings and added another material then changed wings position animated head with simple rig metbird2.movFetching info... the rigging of the rest will be my main project for awhile I figure I should be able to get this rigged if I really try and follow all the instructions I saved Quote
johnl3d Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 metbird3.movFetching info... Doing this as an attempt to understand rigging have rough rig for neck, head, mouth, eyes, hairs. and wings. The legs will be the hard part but feel its about time to try. Quote

Zaryin Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 You need to add a cymbal noise for the mouth closing . I really like this. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Me liking him too! (I can hear him clank, clank while he walks as well) Quote
johnl3d Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 metabirdsing3.movFetching info... Just for fun I decided to have him sing like a bird..sort of anyway used amplitude to make the action so the lips sync is not great based on sounds volume will work on real sounds as time permits and still working on constraints etc Quote
johnl3d Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 any suggestions on how to best rig the neck/head on this bird right now using kinetic contraint to null which moves the head but is just okay Quote

How about a Path Constraint with controls to shape the path along the length of the neck? ----------------- EDIT ----------------- I made a strap rig that might help...here. Quote
johnl3d Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Will check it out David Thanks Quote
