I started working on a new character in blender tonight. I call him Ferroman (like Iron but softer)

I was having a little bit of trouble with my original empowerman I did earlier this week with the rigging and the way that the mesh was deforming while animating. I’ve decided to use this guy instead for the time being as I become more experienced. He is rigid so I can concentrate on the animation rather than the deforms.

Hopefully in the next few days I’ll post up a few animations of this guy.

Just playing around with blender the other day and as a test I recreated my wife’s mascot for her psychology business. This is what I’ve come up with so far

It’s quite cute. Not bad for a first attempt.

Rigging and Animating him is another issue though – time to read the manual and my blender books to learn some more. I’d like to have him walk around the screen and wave ‘hello’.
