VIZA685 Basic rig test

This is the first and simple rig test. Main idea is to check the body proportion to fit well with the ball transformation. Also, to check with the mesh topology in order to achieve better deformation.

The skeleton was procedurally construct in Python.

Will need to paint weight to better judge the deformation, more to come ...

Wings still need to confirm if the surface is big enough to cover the body when rolling into ball form.
