SMALL CREATURE RIG

Character Name: Greed

I only had 2 days to rig Greed as it's part of the deliverable to submit a model, rig, animation and a rendered shot all in 4 weeks time. Here are some of the ideas drafted initially to help me plan out rigging Greed.

I ended up going with Idea 3 as it was the most practical approach on rigging greed. Since we only have couple of shots of him swimming, I will rig one with just an FK system, and more of the main shots in the base (on ground) of him crawling and attacking, I will rig one with just an IK system. For the mouth, we decided it wasnt worth going through the trouble of using chop network as its only visible for 10 frames.

Here is a wiggle test control for the IK rig.
