Morphy Internet Roundup #1!

NOTE - please tag your animations on Vimeo, youTube or whatever site with "Morphy", "Morphy Rig" or "Morpheus Rig" so I can find em. I wanna see em;)

First off, things are going well on the gig and we'll be wrapping up this week so I'll be saying goodbye to some new friends (and old ones) and get to see my wife again. Can't wait. I'll also be getting back to Morphy to tie up some loose ends as well as digging into Python for another side project with Bokser (you should really go check out his site right now, it's nostalgically awesome).

Been starting to get some tests back from some folks and some friends at my current gig pointed me to some 11 second club entries as well. It's so exciting to see what everyone is starting to do with the rig. Please continue to send bugs/issues as I'll be back on trying to finish Morphy up next week.

Here's a great one from a polish animator


And here's another:


11 Second club entries from last month using Morphy. Nice mods peeps! I love it when I have to look at it a bit to tell if it's Morpheus:) I've heard from a couple of you but if you ran into issues or bugs please lemme know. In no particular order...

• Time travel guy
• Undertaker
• Mad Doctor
• Chair is too short guy
• Chess game
• Doctor with second guy
• Jekyl/Hyde
• Fortune teller
• Tied up guy
• Grainy guy
• Drinkin guy

Eye Rig....check.

Eye/eyelid rig has been attached. Here's quick test seeing how things are deforming. Lots of polish necessary. So, here's a State-of-Morphy update:

• Facial rig is 90% done - still need to do some optimizing and looking to create some eye fk/ik switching and some visibility toggling.
• Weighting on the eyes needs a solid layer of polish 
• Several of my blendShapes need some work - I'd like to see some more volume in the cheek in the smile and tweak the creasing a bit. Also the mouth corners need some love.
• Still need to figure out how I want the morph based customization options to work and I'll probably start on that this week.

To those coming late to the party here - Yes, Morphy will be a full body rig (you can dig back though the older Morphy posts if you want some idea of what I'm doin there). I'm actually thinking about making the intial body rig with The Setup Machine to get it a Morphy v1.0 completed quicker and do my own body rig for 2.0. 

Hope everyone has a great Forth of July weekend in the US and to the rest of the world - have a great weekend anyway:)
