This week we learned how to make hydraulics, adding controls and do rigging of the arm.
Finishing the Modeling of the Arm
As we are moving towards the rigging, this week I finished the modelling of the upper arm. Firstly, I made the inner structure of the upper arm and made connectors to attach the whole together. Later, I made covers to wrap up the model.
Adding Controllers
After completing the modelling, I made NURB controllers for the shoulder, elbow and hand. I have attached the controllers with the geometry by using the parent constraints.
I have also made sure to name everything properly, freeze the transformations and organize everything in a hierarchy for smooth rigging process.
Work in Progress Renders
Here are some work in progress renders. I will enhance the textures next week and will work on the final renders.
