[AD] Cardboard character design created with Maya

Designed this cardboard character for commercial purposes. Did the modelling, texturing , rigging and animation. 




here the clip:




  and here the facial GUI controls of the rig:




also created some Lip syncing GUI , so its easier to animate the mouth shapes. 

[RIG] Crazy train ride - Maya railway rigging test

created a very rough and sketchy train rig with Maya. This is just a test and the train behaviour is far from realistic.
Also the scaling isnt correct and the speed of the train isnt correct either, especially in curves. But then it was just for fun and a test. Nothing else.

Its more of a rollercoaster ride to be honest. :D
