Rigging Crane 2/26/19

I’ve completed the animation, it did the thing, ye. There were some hiccups but once I learned everything from the video and tried to rig it from memory everything worked so I think I learned.

Rigging Crane 2/22/19

I’ve completed the cranes rig, thus I am now starting on its animation, throwing a crate. That’s about it. Ye.

Rigging Crane 2/21/19

I successfully weight mapped the arms and head so that it actually looks good when I move it, which took 3 or 4 restarts, cause for some reason the video wanted me to do stuff with its skin envelope thing but I didn’t this time and it worked fine idk I’m just happy.

 

Rigging Crane 2/20/19

I’ve begun rigging a crane and so far I’ve gotten the joints in place and the model moves appropriately, however I have yet to weight map anything.

Drone Modeling Fundamentals 2/12/19

I’ve both grown the overall size of the leg and adjusted its location due to this, though it will need to be adjusted again before being mirrored over. I’ve also added a pad under the leg.

Drone Modeling Fundamentals 2/12/19

I’ve worked on the legs, first getting the basic shape down and then using extrudes to add indentations and such things. To connect each piece I used bridges with different settings to get completely different effects.

Drone Modeling Fundamentals 2/8/19

I’ve adjusted and fitted the stripes on the arm, then duplicated them over to another arm. I’ve also begun the legs.

Drone Modeling Fundamentals 2/6/19

I’ve added a second seem, this one completely going around the sides of the drone, and also started on the bands going around the arms.

Drone Modeling Fundamentals 2/4/19

I’ve changed the bottom to be more squared off rather than triangular, also I added a seam in the newly made battery.

Drone Modeling Fundamentals 2/1/19

I’ve added a second pad to the bottom of the model and did some work scaling it correctly. Next will be changing the bottom of the model from having a single mid point, triangles, and all that dumb stuff, to be a bunch of 4 sided polygons.
