So another project comes to an end...

This has been a good project. I'm pretty happy with the final project, and I'm getting to grips with different styles. I'm way happy with my rig, loads of control, pretty robust (although the IK and FK handle has a few problems). I painted dem weights, it went ok, but I really needed more time to iron out all the problems.  The addition of a twist control in the wrist solved a lot of the problems with it twisting into itself. The actual geometry of the model has a nice feel to it, and although I can see a few areas where it could be tightened up and improved it certainly does the job. Using mudbox to draw on expressions allowed for a diverse amount of expressions without actually having to implement blend shapes etc. The main issue with the piece is that due to time constraints two shots had to be cut. One more expression shot and a shot of the bad guitar playing a chord, which would establish the poor tone just before he presses the switch, and make more contrast when he makes it sound good all of a sudden. Hard to explain in words, but it would have made the film better. I feel like that cut expression shot would have really finished off the film, and I may well add it after hand in to give to the client.
