fae_alba Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Starting to get back into the swing of things, after a busy summer (wish it weren't over though!), new granddaughter, and tons of work around the house. Before I jumped into trying to animate Papa Bear, I figured I'd have a go at the ol' flour sack exercise. Here's the model with a first pass of rigging. I'll start some test posing tomorrow.

fae_alba Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 It is tough doing a good flour sack in CG. The modeling was definitely more of a struggle than I thought it would be. Started out with the mentality of "it's a sack, how hard can it be?" Did one model, rigged it, and then started a walk cycle and realized that there just wasn't enough there to convey life. So back to the modeling window i went. I think the current rig still may need some work, but I'm going to attempt some basic poses and a simple walk cycle to see if that is true or not. Only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fae_alba Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Rigging a CG sack to have all the flexibility of a hand drawn sack is really hard. No kidding. I just realized I needed to add more back bones in order to get the range of motion I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelplucker Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I had some dollar bills I tried that with, similar to the sack. I ended up adding many more splines to the model so I could add more bones. It helped but definitely not easy. Had similar issue with my piggy bank pig.
