[RIG] Maya snail rig - adding control curves

Just added some control curves to the main body of my snail rig created with Maya. There were some issues with the constraints on the control curves, but I managed to fix those errors.

I still need to add a facial GUI for all the blendshapes, so animating the facial expressions will be easier. Probably will do that next weekend as well as doing some test animations.

Here a snapshot of the control curves:

[GRAPHICS] Blog header update

Felt like updating my blog header. Initially I tried using some Java code, I found on the web to create a rotating banner, that randomly shows both headers.
Unfortunatelly the result wasnt as good as I hoped, besides the more gif animations have to be loaded by the browser the slower my blog.
Besides those gif animations dont work with the right frame rate in non- Mozilla browsers, which is a bit annoying.

here is the old header animation:




Also added a graphics background to my twitter page using the bird character from Ruffles.

my second header animation, also outdated since i redesigned my whole blog. Didnt like those animated gifs anymore.
