Poor Professions for Poultry

Thursday, June 08, 2006
Here's the chicken character from our upcoming short, "Poor Professions for Poultry".

The skeletal structure underneath is not just there to look cool. It helps our rigger (Chris Boylan) figure out where to place the virtual joints to ensure our digital chicken can do all that it needs to do... and then some.


In this image, we're looking at how the wings of a chicken work, and how we plan to arrange the feathers. We've decided that the end feathers will work like fingers if need be, so they all have controls worked into them.
