Here's preview no. 2 for the automatic crowd character generator. Some face rigging experiments, and the body rig works! The rig is automatically generated from the mesh. All the body meshes shown have identical topologies. Clothing and hair coming soon!
Here are the original body designs for the crowd characters by Cassidy Stone.
Here is an update on the Palace Interior. Ben Munoz has been optimizing and embellishing the design of the palace. The initial layout for the palace was done by Yannick Amegan, Nicky Weston, and Melissa Caldwell.
Here is the part of the path environment we are calling the "Steve Encounter". This is where the boy zooms past Steve and almost makes him drop his pottery! Drake Logan is modeling this section. Andrew Lopez did the initial layout.
A preview of the crowd characters. The changing faces share identical topology to allow automatic face rigging. Soon they will have hair! They were modeled from the original designs by Cassidy Stone (posted below movie).
