The little girl…

While I’m busy animating for

the steamteamproject I can tell you a little story.

There once was a little sad polygon,

who suddenly changed in the mesh of a little girl.

She had hair made with paintfx who were later

on converted to polygons.

The girl was happy. But everything looked so grey.

It was really necessary that she needed some more

color in her life. She was UV-ed in UVLayout.

Textures were created with photoshop and Zbrush.

The girl was happy with the colors.

Some blendshapes created a nice little smile on her face.

Her wish was to become a fully animated character.

But to fly you first need to learn to stand and walk.

So she got herself an efficient rig on her body.

She also got moving eyelids while the eyes were moving.

No dynamics were used for the skirt and the hair.

The hair was aimcontrained to a controller and the

skirt had driven keys so it would move properly when

the legs were moving. The skirts’ animation could be

adjusted later on using rigged boxes on it.

To give the girl more expressions the face was rigged also.

Little boxes on her face could adjust the facial expression

after using an expression from the attributes.

With this technique every facial move can be unique and
adjusted in any way.

The girl was happy and was animated happily ever after....
