Revised Badger's Speech Sequence

Finally, I have revised the Badger Speech animation, tried to avoid move everything at the same time, it looks much better afterwards.

Final Character Animation

During the Christmas Holiday I have kept creating the Character Animation. It was harder than I thought but finally it worked! :] I need to create and rig a little flower for the story, as well as some simple environment stuffs.

- 24 frames/second
- Duration: 30 seconds
- Sound effect added

Final Animation:

1st Badger Speech Test

Today I showed Lynn my first speech animation, Lynn liked it, and suggested me to add some body movements as well, in order to make the animation like realistic. I can't upload the video now but I would do it later, together with the final one. :]

Skinning the Character

After rigging the Badger, I have done the Skinning phase. Weight painting is a long and tired process, but it was so worth to do after you finished it! :]
