VIZA685 Directed Studies

My Directed Studies will be 'Fantasy Creature Rigging Project'.

The project's brief info:
Objective: To build a rigging for quadruped creature, based on armadillo with wings.

Challenges:
1. To build a wing creature with proper deformation.
2. To have a transformation system for the creature to roll into a ball-like form.
(Based on southern three-banded armadillo)
3. To have the wing folding/spreading mechanism integrating well into the ball
transformation.
