The Rocket Slug animation was created as an early rigging projectย during my studies at SAE. The project was designed as a stepping stone towards a larger character rigging project where the brief is toย modelย and rig aย comic heroย character (unmasked for face rigging).
For this project I had a little fun with the creative process and decided to come up with a scenario forย my slug character and place it on a rocket for this project on a rocket. My tasks for the project was to create the bone structure for the slug rig, create "blend shapes" for the mouth and then finally animate it.ย
I took some extra stepsย for my animation by modelling a little rocket for the slug, and animating the fire which is actually a model taken from my treasure chest animation.ย
