Iggy the Piggy!

Hey everybody!

Haven't posted much lately, so I decided to post an update about what I'm up to.

This friend of mine, Kosta, came up with this really cool challenge that we could start. Basically, we would try to create an original Character, model/texture him in an extremely stylized and low-res format, rig him, and animate him for a few seconds.

Somewhat like spaceman George.

He thought it would be good to discipline us and help get us something for our reels and whatnot, so I decided to tag along and get somewhat of a head start :D.

Here are some pictures of my little guy, Iggy the Piggy!



I shall work hard to bring the little one to life :D

Rigging!

So, this is an explanation of the rigging I'd like to do!

Here is the mesh for the mustache :





And here is a video of how his mouth moves :


I'd like to be able to rig the mustache so that I can have full control of it, being able to move it as he speaks. Thanks!

Here is a picture of the old and the new moustache :)
The new wireframe is for a fan-like motion, and maybe make any squash and stretch easier.
