Stop-Motion Inspired Animation Update: Character - The Boy
Hair Curves, baked cloth simulations, and texture painting are pretty much done. There are still some mouths that I need to make as well as some other accessories. I plan on giving him a toy gun, cowboy hat, and belt for the final animation.
I used the research I did last semester on the original handmade Rankin-Bass stop-motion puppets to inform the design choices I made.
The character has multiple eyelids that are changed using shape keys.
The pupil size can also be changed with shape keys.
