Team Broken Robots- "Tiny Terror"

After pitching ideas for a short film in Animation Studio we decided to use an idea I had created from last quarter in Advanced Drawing for Animation. The story is simple, a girly-girl gets scared when coming across a gawking spider thought to be scary at quick glance, but when taking a closer look under the microscope with help from her adventurous brother, the spider is one of those cute fuzzy things she can have a tea party with.

Since this is for a short animated film not for games, I will be adding more geometry to make the model seamless, but for this phase I'm working on edgeflow.

Cartoon Vehicle Rig with Hydraulics!

I had a lot of fun designing rigging and animating this car. Tires follow correct wheel rotation using the distance tool in Maya 2012.
