hi,guys
this's my first rigging demo reel,it's not good enough, there're still some bugs to fixed.for some of u people it may looks familiar, yeah~a lot of technology comes from nimo rigging,it takes me a lot of time to analyse and study,it's hard,but it's very useful for new to rigging.

here is my rigging demo,hope u like it,and maybe some advises,thank u!!

very nice, some things i would tweak though. Like the deformation on the thigh and the shirt. Also in general, If this were my demo reel, i would cut back on the beginning when you spin the character around and focus on the feature you want to show off rather then spend more time playing around with foot control and facial blendshapes. Short and sweet is the key. I think.

Really good rig. I'd suggest you animating a walk cycle or running cycle to replace the turn table in the beginning. 加油!

I think the rigging itself looks pretty good- of course there are tweaks and improvements that can be made but it appears you are on the right path. As for the reel it'self, you just need an exciting way to show it!

Get a talented animator to do some animations! Replace the spinning character with a quick animation to catch our eye and make us want to see how it works. Character TD reels can be difficult to make interesting. You almost have to have the screen grabs in there of you wiggling controls around, however i feel it's nice to have a few tiny animations mixed in to keep it interesting.

hope that helps
