Hi there !
Finally i managed to make a screen capture from the results of my diploma thesis:
"Optimization and reduction of the human skeletal system for 3d-animation"
The research was to find out if a rig, which is completly based on human skeletal
anatomy can produce better deformation and also animation results than normal
standard rigs do. So the rig was built to be as anatomically correct as possible on
one hand, while maintaining easy to use and intuitve manipulation controls on the
other hand.
the rig just uses joints and there were no extra deformation techniques like corrective-
blendshapes used. so the deformation you see in the video just comes because the
placement and behavior of the joints are as closely to human anatomy as possible.
to view the video and read a little bit more please visit my portfolio page:
THE ANATOMICAL RIG (STREAMING) (http://www.ferstltom.com/?cat=14)
unfortunately the video is a bit long (5:34) because it show every feature of rig,
so its more presentation video than a demo reel ;)
let me know what you think
thx :) Ferdo
