Description:

The model has been made for this short movie, during the course EcoDesign at Politecnico di Torino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FosafDISndo

I know, the quality is low, but time was short and it was our first animation ever! ;)

Fully rigged and textured.

Eyeballs and eyelids textured and controlled by external "empty".

Head tilt controlled by external "circle"

Less than 13k vertices.

It has some problems with arms' bending, I didn't find a way to fix it properly. Hope you will!

    I like the video - didn't quite get the end but story telling was good.

    The arms need more geometry in the base mesh to curl better. I am actually very surprised at how good they looked considering how low poly they are.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for the compliments! ;)

    You're right, I've been focused on keeping the poly count low and didn't want to increase it, but it would have been the solution... Another stupid thing is that most of the vertices are in the eyes ^_^'
