Larry Rig: Functionality Test Animation

This is a test of the Larry rig functionality, I'm still testing out how the eyes will work , so the ones in the video are just stand-ins.

And this is a test of the functionality I want to get out of the eye, its important to get them just how I have planned because they will be one of Larry's most expressive features.

Larry Rig: Lip Sync Test

These are a couple of  lip sync tests I did on Larry's rig to see if I had enough mouth blendshapes.

I eventually added 3 more shapes to give just a little more variation.
If these don't play go to http://vimeo.com/24666700

3D Background: Implied Perspective Tests

These are some background tests I modeled, to try and capture the look of the concept designs.

To do this I experimented with implied perspective, creating the illusion of distance without having to place the objects where they would actually be in the physical world.

Of course this only works in this case because the cameras remain in stationary positions for these scenes. If I were to pan along the street the illusion would be lost.

Character Models

Here are the final models for the characters.

There will be more detail on the mans suit, which will be  normal mapped onto the character.
