Morpheus Rig

After planning the story and going through the obstacles the characters endure throughout the film, we decided that we had implemented too many ideas and may not have enough time to do everything. Therefore, we would like to thank Josh Burton for the Morpheus Rig we are using. With this rig we are able to, change gender, facial features, body features, anything you can think of. Using this will be able to help our schedule dramatically for not having to model and rig another character.

I was able to create the Grandma in the film out of the Morpheus Rig by changing all of the features from man to woman and reconstructing the model.

As you can see, the image on the left is the default mesh you get with the Morpheus Rig. By using the sliders to the right of the mesh, I was able to create the figure of a woman and turn him into the Grandma. With the Morpheus Rig, there are advanced buttons in the channel editor which changes aspects like the hair. This is how i went about creating the Grandmas hair. Her glasses are just an added piece of mesh I have created and applied. Lastly, I managed to make the Grandma compatible with Renderman by texturing the model in the PxrDisney shaders Renderman provides.

After I had textured the Grandma, I done an eye test to see what kind of style we were going for. I had some influence by Toy Story and how their eyes reflect the light and how the iris was very detailed.

I tried to recreate this here so we could texture the main characters' eyes on a later date.
