Heximation Complete

The time has come to confirm the Hexalum animation for shot02. It has been quite fun animating this guy and I admit, I maynot the best at taking criticism but I thank and appreciate everyone who did offer CC at every iteration so here is the signed off playblast.


The Hexalum Rig

Back track 2 months ago Kendrick put his hand up on taking the mammoth role of rigging. I don’t think he even realised how huge a role he signed himself into. There has been some dire days during the ordeal but seeing the development of where the Hexalum rig is at now, I must say I’m extremely impressed and his efforts! Second time working with Ken on a major project and I’m sure proud to have my characters rigged by him.

Hexalum Animation Reference

Personally getting excited about animating the Hexalum beast and being very inspired by the Beans monster.

and the breakdown

There is also the obvious beast from Avatar as it is 6 legged: has some really good leaps that we can refer to

But as we were going for a Gorilla type of beast that happens to have 6 legs (arms) the beast from John Carter is much more relevant


Damien loves retopo…

There is definitely no sarcasm whatsoever in the title of this post haha. I think Damien has been working on the Hexalums retopo now for a few days and he’s going strong!

So whilst he’s loving this process he somehow had to procrastinate by concepting something that might be a little teaser into our next project.. (perhaps?)

Hexalum Rig Update

A skeleton drawn up by Damien so I could reference it when I rig the beast.

The Hexalum

It’s pretty exciting deciding on a name for the first beast. The Hexalum. As you can see Damien is making some nice progress on the Hexalum beast.
