Hey this is looking good! Your putting my characters out of business!!!
Keep it up!

Thanks guys , im not sure if i should continue with the body feathers
they look way to untidy and not good .maybe i just rig him as he is
he looks cool i think , i will try the body again but if it looks like crap ill leave it

I hope you make some characters from scratch with your own style Pugman1 to give Steinie competition.

It is encouraging to see people learning Blender. It shows that it isn't nearly impossible like it used to be but is worth the effort now.

VERY nice pugman!

I have the rig but not the course (monetary hard times) so sort of gave up trying to figure him out. The rig seems a bit more complex than it should be. Just trying to fold his wings seems like a big deal for example but would love to see what you can do with him.
Keep it up buddy.

here a prob with the render , the good pic is a preveiw render the other a full render .
i dont like him with fethers but i wanted to finish him like the course .
any blender users have any idea why this hapens .
Cheers Ralph

sorry all ok nearly , i pluged the node in where it should be the feathers went black in preveiw render
that threw me of course. I hit then render and it ok .but why in the preveiw render the feathers go black?

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 26 Jun 2014, 16:17

Good question, but good to know! Glad you found a solution. The feathers are looking great btw.

Thanks , i must first make the textures better and do the eye properly when
thats finished ill post the render . after that comes rigging and it a f....... hard rig
why so complicated i dont know . i tryed this befor with jethro but the rig went wrong
and iv lost the file thats why i am doing this ,and i learn the hair sysem painting maps for the hair
density and lenth ,also how to make prober uvs and textures ,rigging and all that goes with it ,
and the animation, thats the hardest .but when im done i have a plan for a cool model with animation .
just hope i have the motivation to do this .

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 26 Jun 2014, 18:35

It's a very valid project! Don't worry about the animation, it's hard, but the most gratifying; and the complicated rig will only make the animation that much easier to make the puppet do what you want. Animation is probably my favorite aspect of 3D, it's certainly most satisfying thing ever making something come alive. Keep at it!

Learning the discipline of self motivation and completion is better than the most talented of all artists. Keep at it! You're doing great.

here the finished shaders .i mest up the lighting but i am no good with that anyway.
Now for the rigging

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 27 Jun 2014, 12:34

Could you post a link to the tutorial? Your bird looks fantastic!

pugman 1 · Post by **pugman 1** » 27 Jun 2014, 15:15

hi,bud here the link, http://cgcookie.com/blender/cgc-courses/piero/"
I joined cg cookie for 3 mounths it costs 1 month 18 dollers ,3 months 38 dollers .
In that time you can download all the vidios for the courses with content .
i have a few on a extra hardrive saved but i intend to get more of them which
could be usefull for the future when my membership runs out.
Cheers Ralph.

Started on the rig for him ,here is the complecated wing rig finished
for some reason i could not get the drivers for it to work prob with blender 2.70a.
the wing has fk. ik. curve spline .scale and twist for the feathers.i managed to get it
working without drivers ,they are for a switch between fk an ik when the wing is bent
but you can do this under the influence panel its just more steps to do when animating .
Next the leg and claws ther nearly as bad as the wing

pugman 1 · Post by **pugman 1** » 02 Jul 2014, 11:40

Finaly got the rig over to the other half the wing is a major prob but got all
working how it should now to conect it to the mesh hope it works .
then the shapes for the controls i have no idea how he does that even watching the vid time
and time again .

pugman 1 · Post by **pugman 1** » 05 Jul 2014, 05:38

Here posed ,fully riged works like a dream , just one prob,
anyone know how to get the particle systems to move with the body
in pose mode ,in object mode the stick to the body when posing they dont .
Cheers Ralph

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 24 Aug 2014, 23:49

Hey there! I've been playing around with it. It's nice. I can't seem to move the body controls though, they are not doing anything. But the wings and head are working nicely. Do you have eyelid and eyelid controls?

I'm still pretty new to rigging and animating rigs in Blender, so um.. still working on it all.

Haven't tried fiddlign with the Baboon yet, but the piero has some rad wings, good job on those!

TIP: hide the feathers for faster playback/animation. And for full playback speed, do "Render Only" in the display options.
