Blog Progress Update Week 4

This is my blog progress update for the week of February 4th 2013. This week I worked on the 3D model that i started last week with concept art. The model itself isn't particularly difficult but i realized pretty quickly that if i wanted my model to be presentable that I'd have to put in more time than i have available on this side project. Especially since I'm more concerned with working on the animations with this rig and I felt like this model wouldn't be good enough to work with to put into a portfolio. As such i decided to go looking for a new Rig that I can use for animation.

The rig i found was on Creative Crash (Link) listed as a free rig. I played around with it a bit and it seemed to be a very in-depth model. As such next week I plan to work on a walk cycle or something along that line and playing around a bit with the dog rig. I realize that i could have probably had a half decent dog model had i put more time into this model but my other projects have kept me more busy than i expected and it really cut down the time i was expecting to have to work on this model. I may have to rethink the next side portion of my self directed if time will continue to be this much of a constraint.
