Rigging - Sir Frog Rig

𝗕𝗖𝗜𝗧 - 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗮 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰)

I watched this tutorial to help me start my first advanced biped rig: https://riggingpro.gumroad.com/l/rimqs1-eng. Additionally, I received guidance from my instructors at BCIT, and I downloaded the Sir Frog model (Chrono Trigger) from Sketchfab, created by Adrian Carter: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sir-frog-chrono-trigger-0af0c15e947143be8fab274841764bf1.

Some key takeaways from the project were learning how to add deformers for creating sine and twist deformations in the limbs, as well as implementing ribbon setups for bendy limbs. To enhance the project, I retextured the model using a texture set created by John Santana https://www.artstation.com/johnsantanart.

I also experimented with toon shading in Arnold, learning how to tweak materials in Hypershade and fine-tune the color and tonemap attributes for a distinct toon effect.

Key focuses:
- Advanced biped rigging with deformers.
- Ribbon setups.
- Foot roll.
- Base facial rigging.
- Toon shading with Arnold.
