Cat singing test and rigging
Description
This is the first test of the main character for my "Path of Love" video. I have the Cat lip syncing a Blue Cheer track just for testing purposes, she's actually mean't to be female. I spent some time designing the character's color and look in Photoshop and took that design into Anime Studio Pro as a reference image so I could re-make it into vectors.
This test was about 70% successful, there are things I learned about how I rigged the arms that need to be done better next time around. I'm also realizing that I need more mouth shapes for cleaner lip sync.
I'm really happy with the look of the final animation, the work in Photoshop helped me plan out how I needed to process the layers of the animated sequence to get the print off set look I wanted. Actually I'm very happy with the result, it ended up looking better than my pre-vis.
