I'm mid-way through my rig for the girl. I've got most of the body controls in place. The arms and legs have ik stretch, the spine has fk stretch... as will the neck. Still have a bunch of kinks to work out, but so far so good. I'll start playing with the face in a couple days. Gotta keep tweaking some geometry as well, like the hair for sure. and maybe the hands. I've managed to isolate the motion in her head as well. Plus I built some controls for her hood... I hope they work out.

The whole NBA LIVE team went down to Seattle by bus last friday. I took some pics. It was pretty cool, got to see Shaq dunk on a couple guys. The Miami Heat won by a dozen points.

So this is what I've been doing at work recently... NBA Live 360 has shipped and we have some downtime before the next game really gets rolling so... I've been working on this character for a while... The body geometry is pretty much final. The hair still needs some work. Right now I'm experimenting with various squash and stretch rigging techniques... Very difficult to figure out... But just gotta take my time, and make sure it's really solid. It'll make animating her that much easier.

My professor Mark Simon just let me know that my film Urban Sprawl will be shown at the Korean Animation Festival!... Kinda cool. I haven't heard much about this festival, but any exposure is good exposure! :)
