Maya: Cartoon Character Body Rigging Part 1 and 2 (Feet, Legs and Spine)

Before moving on to my Narrative characters' rigging I am going to use the Cartoon Character like a sort of guinea pig to see how it works on him. So far I had a few problems with him but at least I will know how to correct them if I face the same ones with Tracy and The Mother.

Narrative: Tracy's Skinning Progress V1 (Head and Body)

This is what I've got from Tracy up till now. The file has been incredibly slow whenever I smooth her some reason but I am hoping to fix this issue before the file corrupts :S

Yep, she looks terrified :D

Narrative: Mother Skinning Progress V1

So this is the Skinning of the Mother I've got up till now. There are a few tweaks that need to be done (including the shoes) but overall I think she's looking ok. I had problems with making her arm look less ragdoll-like, basically because of the geometry in the folds. I am also in the progress of skinning Tracy but she seems a bit easier to handle.

Maya: Cartoon Character Skinning Part 5 and 6 (Shoes and Head)

Skinning is so much more straightforward to me and I get the chance to skin my narrative characters alongside with this guy. I am in the process of skinning both the Mother and the kid at the moment and will update my progress soon.

Maya: Cartoon Character Skinning Part 3 and 4: Shirt/Hands and Trousers

It took me a good while to understand skinning. I was about to give up on the tutorial when I decided to keep doing it until I get the hang of it and it worked. I first thought it was complicated math but I know it's more simple than that. I am so relieved I finally understood it :)
