Bruce Willis Rig

Time to get an early start on my portfolio content creation. This side project that I am picking up is going to be a model of Bruce Willis's face/ head combined with the mechanical features of a cyborg like the woman's face on the left. I plan to model in extreme detail and rig this face later on. There will be many blend shapes involved in this process. I'm going to model all of the mechanical parts in the neck down as separate parts and they will all be moving during the face expressions.

First Pass:

getting down basic forms and simple shapes. (about 1 hour)

Second Pass:

Start shaping the mouth and nose area. Introduce neck until face is finished. (about 40 mins)

Making better progress on this model now. Please follow my pinterest board for more updates.

It's been a while since I posted my progress on this blog for this model/ rig so here is a few more recent images.

I've also decided to change the project a bit. Instead of him being a cyborg-like character I'm just going to be putting him in an armor suit that I modeled out a long time ago. There will be some updating that I will be doing to this model for functionality purposes of the rig.

Here's an animation test for the functionality of the helmet. This is going to be changed in many ways, and it will not be splitting down the front in the middle because the front will be stowed into his chest plate.
