Steven Universe Rig Test

Added 2017-07-05 16:00:01 +0000 UTC

Taking a break is doing me some good, as it allowed me to do other things and get inspired, and I'm slowly working towards making a new Team Teen project as big as that of "Convergence at Gravity Falls". I just have to get the story fully planned out.

One of the biggest issues with working on Team Teen, is that even though I used character rigs, barely any of the assets created were reused. It was very inefficient and it made production slow and tedious.

I wasn't going to let that happen with the new project, so I'm taking some of the characters of old, and start working towards updating their rigs. When production starts, I can create a large library of limbs to reuse throughout the entire production. It'll be mostly notable on smaller details and facial features (like eyes, ears, noses, hair) to shave time off animating.

Granted, that doesn't mean the character animation will look like the pic above, I'll still have characters snap from pose to the other. As always, it's a case by case basis.
