In this post I will show how the eyes of the character below was set up. The aim was to create a simple animation rig that was fast and simple to use. The “cartoon eye rig” is based on a ramp texture that is controlled by a few attributes. The texture is aplied to a simple nurbs sphere. In the video below I explain how you can use the mel script I wrote to create this setup. At the end of the post you will find the script available for download. cheers !
Image from an animation created by my good friend and colleague Daniel Forsgren from Petfactory.
