Rigged the ice skating shoes to the girl character

It took me one day to think how to combine the shoes to the girl. Because the girl's rigging was done, I didn't want to remove the rigging and do a totally new rigging.

As known to all, ice skating shoes are different with normal shoes. The bottom of ice skating shoes doesn't transform because there is a blade under the bottom. So I considered to make the shoes parent constrain to the ankle joint. It worked. But when the legs moved, the legs would touch the upper shoe body and make the surface of shoes transform. I used BlendShape to do the transform. It worked well. Finally the rigging was done.

My girl character is ready to skate. :)

Shiny Shiny (2009)

Modeled a pair of ice skating shoes

The most difficult part of modeling shoes was modeling the shoelaces. But, whatever, I did it. ha...

Let's comedy!

I was watching the comedic show performed by Zhou Libo just now, making me LOL many many times. I was depressed these days because my mom is seriously sick. I was trying to be happy. However, nothing could make me laugh to my heart.

Having watched Zhou Lobo's comedic show, I felt so well.

The story of my Master Project seems too depressed. I hoped that the animation could give a hand to those people who were suffering from depression. Why did I decide to say a depressed story? How can a depressed story help a depressed person? I questioned myself.

I think I should make audiences be happy. Yes. The world needs comedies.

OK! My story will be changed. It will make you smile. Oh no! Not just smile, laugh please. hehe....
