Rigging - I use the Auto-Rig Pro add-on to set up the basic rig for the character, then manually adjust and refine the weight painting to perfect the rig.

Rigging - I rig the character's succulent hair separately so that it will move or bounce naturally with the movements. This process is done manually and then integrated with the main body rig.

Combine and merge all rigs smile

Great work, but i think you need read the lastest post in the foxy3d forum in this contests or my madamme lupanari post, the work in animation, rigging, topology , etc... etc... will not be considered in the contest. I tell you this so that you don't put more work than you consider necessary into something that is going nowhere.

I rigged the backpack and lantern in Blender and tested the rig with the main character rig. I also did some lighting tests and put together a video to showcase everything. 

Stay tuned for more updates coming soon! : )

I liked your latest additions with the Elf, exploring the world through his succulent diaroma. A well thought concept! I had the same thought from the beginning as this would have an adventurous character, like the title suggested a succulent theme emote

It appears like you spent a significant amount of time, possibly weeks, presenting your work in every way possible way.smile
The demonstration films and animation were quite imaginative.They look great, as instructional videos, too. I wish you the best of luck with your comprehensive work!

Thanks drjivago! You are right! I did spent quite a bit of time to edit this breakdown video, and I hope it helps viewers better understand the progress and learn something from it.
I also finished the animation and am just waiting for the render to finish.
I plan to upload the short animation in the next few days!
Please stay tuned! : D
