For this project, we had to design a cartoon character, then model and rigg them in Autodesk’s Maya. I made this blue dude named “Blinger”, and you can see some of the process right here:
Concept Art
So here is my T-pose drawing of Blinger here. I took inspiration from a few different characters for his design.
Skeleton/Rigging
Here I’ve fully rigged the model, even the eyes and fingers. Rigging allows for the animation of a character.
Model Complete
In this image I have completed the modeling process for Blinger. His goatee was the most difficult part to get right.
Render
Here is a final render of Blinger with basic lighting. You can see his chicken legs in all their glory.
