Hey!
I just got back from Hawaii for spring break so I wasn't able to work
on it since I didn't have a computer. As of right now it has reverse
foot lock, and I'm currently working on finishing the iks/fks. But I
have set aside tomorrow (saturday) to work on it, so I'll be able to
give you an update Sunday. I saw the pics on the blog, that helped alot!
Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful Spring Break as well, and don't
work too hard!

you need any new information or pictures to help you set up the rig? If
you want ill take screen shots of some controls that i like from other
rigs that i have worked on.

I just posted an update to the blog, can you post yet?
I'm sending you my joint placements for the rig, it took longer than I
thought since it's in an A pose, but in theory it should come out better
than a Tpose rig. It's not bind yet to the joints, I want to take
another look at it tomorrow after I take a break from it before I bind
it. I'll be doing reverse foot lock Wednesday unless you see any issues
with the joints. Also send me a prioritize list please.

For todd there is no story. I'm just helping you rig the model and
maybe do a simple walk cycle. The Blog is clean and I like it. Can you
add me to the author's on the blog so I can post and give feedback? Is
there also a way to send me the updated rig so that i can play around
with it and see if the rig is working smoothly?

Hey I sent you a link to the blog I created via this
email. If you need me to send it to a different email let me know. Our
blog link is http://toddgambino.blogspot.com/ . For Todd Gambino, do you have a storyboard or know what he's going to do?

Todd is a separate animation. The green ninja project is for our
advance 2d animation class. I was talking to my teacher today and I
believe that this project wont be able to do any facial controls but if
we have time we can do basic stuff. My teacher also said that the Texas
students will set up individual blogs to post progress. If u don't have
one i can set one up on my account. Here is the basic rigging that I put
together.
Hands:
1. IK hands
2. Finger curls
-curl all finger
-curl individual finger
-thumb curl
-finger spread
-mid fingers spread(middle and ring)
-thumb spread
3. IK feet
- knee pivot control (translation only)
- parent to world, feet, and hips
SEE Pictures*
- Foot roll
- ball roll
- toe toll
- heel pivot
- ball pivot
- toe pivot
4. FK spine
IK spine for squash and stretch
5. FK Neck
6. IK Head
- Parenting: world, spine, and neck
- Follow:world, spine, and neck

Sweet I got the rig. Tod Gambino is a separate
animation from green ninja right? Please send me a list asap on what you
would need! For now, I'll just be doing the general walk cycle and span
movements.
thanks!

our green ninja project is a class project that will be done in 2d
with maybe 3d special effects(if they can figure it out). we have about
25 people, 10 viz dev and 15 animators. our goal is to finish it by the
end of the semester. :) for the rig i believe that it would be on your
server. our rig that we will be working on is called Todd Gambino. i
havent checked it out but ill send u a list of what i would want on the
rig.

No problem! I hope you are feeling better! Awesome
animation! If I understand correctly, this is going to be a continuation
of the series? If so, would it be in 2D style? Is everybody doing their
own version of a green ninja animation, or is the whole class working
on one story? Our TA mentioned today that the models were already sent
to him, but our prof wasn't in today so it was a little unclear. Did
your instructor say anything in class about it?

Sorry for the late reply i have been sick for the past few days.
Wow i like the work you have up on your vimeo. my teacher still has
to give us info on the model and that wont be til tuesday so ill update
you on that when it comes around. For the Green Ninja animation the
story is about Larry leafblower who gets a supercharged leafblower and
tries it out. However it is so powerful that he looses control and
starts to pollute and create havoc in the neighborhood. Green ninja
comes to the rescue and fixes all the problems that larry created. It is
going to be dialogue heavy and most of the animators hasn't touched
dialogue in their animation yet. Here is the animation the class did
last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeYOZgbgG1Q Green Ninja: Carbon Footprint. Enjoy!

Howdy! This is my first time partnering with someone
from another university, I'm looking forward to the experience! I'm a
graduate student in the Viz department and I've been working with Maya
on and off for about 7 years (luckily high school taught it), and I come
from a film/photography background. I don't have a website yet, but you
can find some of my videos here: http://www.vimeo.com/cassiehanks and photography/flatwork here: http://facebook.com/cassie.hanks
. I'm periodically on chat there, otherwise this email is the best way
to reach me. I don't have skype, but if needed I can get it as well.
As for the model, is it ready to send over? What's the story on
your animation you are working on?
thanks,
Cassie

Hi Cassie,
I'm Alex Yip and I will be helping you out this semester. I have
been doing both 2D and 3D animation for about 3 years now and I see that
this will be a great opportunity for both of us. From the description
in class I will be giving you feedback on your character rig throughout
this semester. So lets make it awesome! I'm excited to work in partner
with Texas A&M University and I can't wait to start. You can stop by
my website at www.alexyip.me and check out some of my work. Reach me through this email or skype at alex.yip56. I hope to here from you soon. Thanks.
Alex Yip
