While researching some of the many free character rigs from Highend3d.com, I came across “Blake”.  After an hour or so of playing around with his controls, my son came up to me and asked if I could make him look scared.  So after much direction from a 5 1/2 year old, I came up with the above pictured pose.

I will be exporing several different rigs while I decide upon which way I would like to rig my own character, Mr. Hap.  I might even take Blake for a spin and submit an entry into this months 11 Second Club Competition.

I was listening to this month’s 11 Second Club sound bite and got inspired to play with Josh Burton’s Squirrel Rig.  I knew I wouldn’t have the time to actually animate 11 seconds of this character before the month’s end deadline, but it was fun to take a break from other things to put him into a few poses.
