Corrective Blend Shapes (side view)

I have now completed the rest of the blend shapes for each joint that needed it:

Corrective Blend Shapes: Hands, Wrists, Elbows, Hips and Football Joints

Corrective Blend Shapes: Side View (Ankle Joint)

I have started to use Blend shapes to correct any geometry that looks out of place when I move my characters joints. I create and edit the poses in the 'Pose Editor' found in the Deform Menu.  The right ankle joint is now complete and I feel that I am ready to move onto the other joints such as the Elbows, Wrists, Hip and Middle hand joints. I wont need to do the knees in this case, as they don't seem to deform in any way when I move them.

Correcting Rigging and Head Geometry (Right Side Only)

Since speaking with Alan, I have corrected the joints for the beard, hat, head and neck. This will help me to skin my character more effectively.

More Texture Projection for My Shapes

I am currently about half way through to finishing my Pre-vis. I have found the technique of 'texture projection' very useful for telling my story. With out this it would be hard to show how I wanted my shapes to move. Also by doing this, the shapes don't loose their 2D and 'UPA' style.
