Robo Ball

This is a little animation using my RoboBall rig! The rig is free to download and use. If you know maya, I hope you'll download it and give it a spin! Okay. Bad pun, but I had a lot of fun making this little guy and I'm really excited to share it.

If you make any videos using this rig, please post them as video responses on youtube. I'd love to see what you do with it!

The rig should be pretty self explanatory, but creators always seem to think that. ;) If you can't read my mind when you open the file, here's a demonstration of the rig's basic functions.

There's some technical insights if you stick around after the jump!

I finally found an online competition that's more my style, I'm happy to say. I've tried participating in modeling or other 3D competitions in the past, and while I'm a competent modeler and a pretty good texturer, I'm just not suited to competition in those areas.
