Done with simply parenting and not bones… it’s a static model anyway, and I didn’t apply IK… for the final I will of course be using some sort of skeleton and rigging. I went the easy route after trying for a couple of hours to use a skeleton and for some reason the bone parenting system didn’t work that well. Maybe I just didn’t parent the right things.

No shading. No lighting. No background. This is the model. It is low poly. It is going to have a glowing tail and eyes, with mostly white and grey plastic and metallic components. Comments?

These are the two most important references from the previous post.

Haven’t decided yet whether I want him to be pouncing up or down. Up is probably easier.

Here, have some reference!:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ol3XSvoIxg&NR=1 — the second-best, since the jump goes off the screen. From the opposite direction.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-SMbblxhpM — not so great quality but an amazing jump!
