Riging a Lego Van in Maya

-
This is the same Lego van from before except I have made some changes to the design as well as rigid it for animation. Probably the most obvious change to the design is the color, I changed it from green to red which makes it look like a mail van. I moved the windows up two blacks and put 4x1 in front where the class used to be as I felt the glass looked out of place in the original version. As mentioned before this van has been rigid so that when the vehicles is moved forward, the wheels turn as well based on how fast the van is moving. This was done by putting in a circle around the van to act as a controller as well as using code.

In terms of styles they range from making a character very realistic to being more cartoony which was demonstrated in the first exercise. At random we where given characters that we had to take from one end of the spectrum to the other. I was given danger mouse that was very cartoony so I had to make him more realistic. The main differences from the two styles is that the realistic approach involves making the head smaller, using more complex shapes and realistic body proportions. The second exercise revolved more around shapes. Characters with square shapes lo
