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. :)

Modeled a pair of ice skating shoes

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