Animated Narratives – Lighting Class Activity and Getting Noob Ghost ready for rigging

I found this activity came quite naturally to me, despite being originally apprehensive about it – I tend not to get on too well with the more technical aspects of Maya, so this was a nice change!

I got some feedback on my noob ghost, and how to rig him. I pulled his ‘tail’ down and put more cuts through his arm so that I am able to rig the model: something tells me that this is going to be pretty difficult, but I will do my best!
