This newest iteration of Bill isn't a very drastic change, and this is more a test of some of the newest rigging techniques I've been really excited about. Here's a list of the changes: - I made the Trilby Fedora an ACTUAL Trilby, instead of a classic fedora. - I changed the hair a bit, making its reaction to the hat more realistic (and more accurate to my real cut) - I rolled up the sleeves (like I often do with my jackets) - I did away with the Scotland forearms. They were a pain to deal with whenever the outline thickness was changed, and it was a little blunt character-wise. - I changed the shoes to Stan's brilliant design, which is fantastic in its efficiency and appeal. - I added a teal armband to represent the handcart company that Thomas Lowe (my first Scottish Anscetor to come to the States) was in. - The change that I'm MOST excited about is the new rigging technique called "Three wall joints" that I developed. Steve, Stan, and Photon, I would recommend looking at this, it'll make rigging and animating biological characters WAY easier, along with getting 3 dimensions into movement. It also is great with hands! - Rig - - Animation - - New - - Art -
