Description This is the same zergling model as before, the only difference in detail is the bump map, which I hand painted in GIMP. (I don't think this render does it justice, but I'm still working on lighting. The head is my favorite part. ) This was my first time ever using smooth skin, my first time making a rig with IK solvers, and only like my 7th time ever UV mapping anything, let alone something this complex. Feeling pretty good about it.

For now this is just a straight recreation of the run cycle seen in SC1, but I plan to have him in a whole scene soon!

Β Maybe Zergling jumps like a frog with two legs?

Thanks! I've been using the free student version of Maya, and yes, lots of tutorials. Though it's less that I have one tutorial I could point to and more of an ongoing process of trial and error and then googling "maya ik joint flipping problem," "maya inverted bump map problem," etc., heh.
