This animation has 3 seperate videos for the front, side and perspective view, this is because I wanted to show how the animation looked in these different angles, showing the various aspects of the rig, that I have animated that may not be seen clearly in the other views. But by researching into how the rig works I stumbled upon a set of video tutorials that allowed me to understand how the squirrel rig worked, looking at the videos, using them as a reference to create a simple short animation sequence with a hop. By downloading the rig then putting it into Maya I was able to start to understand the basic controls for the rigs such as face, master control, body and tail allowing me to make an animation that t looks like a realistic squirrel movement. These are the various views from a short animation I made using the Squirrel rig from Animation mentor, allowing me to experiment with the rig learning all the controls for the rig.
