Jacko New Walk 02 (920 K)

      This test uses the latest and greatest rig. I've made a lot of progress with this rig. I know, I've said that before but I'm feeling pretty good about this one, at least for today. The speed he is moving at seems about right, it's probably his top speed. I wonder if I should try to get him to breath. Not really sure what that would look like but It does sound interesting. I can envision him inhaling and exhaling flames or smoke or something, sounds like a lot of extra work. I should come back to these types of ideas after I've gotten everything else figured out.

      In the "another step backwards" department, I'm once again thinking about giving him some hands, or something that works like hands. I like the look of him now but if he is to hold a torch or anything, he will need something other then his current stumps. That of course adds a lot of complexity to the model and to the rig, and that's not even taking into account the extra animation that that decision would bring with it. How come all the cool ideas make everything harder? Maybe I should start a petition to have Halloween pushed back so that it falls between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I need more time.
