Hare Free Rig

Hare Free Rig

Developing the Hare rig was both enjoyable and challenging. The Hare is a character 

primarly based on the classical bunny which might at the first seem to be quite positive

simply because it is so familiar to so many people. The bunny's large scale presence in

both the CG and the real world however also means a quite large number of viewers 

finding themselves criticizing your work. "The ears aren't quite right", "don't you think 

the paws should be a little longer" etc., is what you would frequently hear when 

displaying your work. However, it also allows for taking a perspective one might have

had overlooked if one had worked on a model less "familiar" to the public at large.

I do sincerely apologize for the poor presentation of the Hare Rig, but coming from the

rigging community, and primarily spending time behind the screen creating and learning

new ways of rigging, does not really allow for presentation skills to be developed. 

I kindly invite you to contact me via email (armanmgsb@gmail.com) for all possible

problems or additions. Moreover, if there are any modelers with fun and challenging 

models to be rigged and animated, feel free to contact me since I am always up for fun

projects which might come in useful.

Many thanks go to Andrej Jagar for the lively animation, for the texture to Sabina Mrgan

and for the lighting and rendering to Fedja Kilibarda.

Feel free to comment.

Enough with the text.
