Introduction to Skinning: Interactive Bind & Painting Weights

In this tutorial, we were tasked to use another method of skinning -Interactive Bind. Here are few images of the adjustments I've made as I followed through the tutorial.

After I was satisfied with the basic adjustments with the capsules, I went on to paint the weights on each joints of the arm.

To finish of the tutorial and to show that I have successfully painted the weights, this is a short animation of the arm moving.

I've done an extreme finger positions to show that I have used the component editor to clean up the weights affecting the specific areas of the hand.

Initially, I found out that this whole process is confusing as I was just following the video and not understanding what I was doing. So, I did this tutorial again and I think I am slowly getting it. More practise is needed and I might apply this concept in my current project.

Here's the final outcome of the final biped rigging along with the outliner that has been organised with the necessary naming conventions. 

Fantastic Voyage (Tree Texture Render)

After sucessfully bringing in the tree into Maya, I did a test in texturing my tree. I am pleased with how it looks like as it mirrors my concept.
