VR Final Week

For this final pass, the animations changed a lot from their proxy states.

The first rig was only FK, so there were no hip/leg movements and no weight shifting. With the new IK rig, I was able to add those subtle movements to the previous animation states. Also, because of the new rig, I was able to animate transitions between these states.

However, each time the rig evolved, changes needed to be made to the animations to make sure they looked good.

Due to some technical issues, our team changed the Nazgul's clothing. Instead of a cloth simulation, the cloak was modeled directly onto the character. With the clothes added, I needed to go in and adjust the animations to make sure that the cloak was not clipping through the model. There were plenty of challenges with this and it required a lot of successful rig breaking to make it look nice and also look natural.
